:( Hi all. I went off Phen 5 days ago. I was having so much trouble breathing! My elbuterol was not even helping. My back is hurting too. Under my bra on the right side. I got scared because my chest was so tight when I was trying to breath. I am going to get the Chromium Picolate and see if it helps me to not crave sweets. I wish I could stay on Phen but not sure if it is wise for me. My sis had no trouble what so ever. I need to go see my doc but I have been working every day. I will soon.
I would be happy with any suggestions. I am trying to just eat the same as I was before! Thanks! Good luck to all. Keep up the encouragment!:)

I would see the doctor before trying to continue the phen. Maybe it won't be related and you can continue taking it. But, better safe than sorry. Sounds like you are on the right track by continuing to eat right. Keep us posted on what the doc says.
Good luck!! You can do this w/o the phen if you have to. No one takes it forever any way so we all have to learn to do it alone. Good luck with the doc!!!!

Yeah, definitely get it checked out before continuing Phen. I had some issues after several weeks of being on it. I started feeling like I couldn't breathe, my chest was tight, and I just kept inhaling, but it was like I couldn't get to the "bottom" of my breath...or like not getting a full breath. I think now, that I was having some anxiety or panic attacks, (Phen can cause that due to it being a stimulant) and the more I thought about it, and worried, the worse it got. Finally, I just started trying to relax and take slow breaths, and it gradually improved. I've never had any problems since, but it did go on for a few days.
