Facial Flushing

[Warlockdobey]

Hello,

I've been on phentermine about 5 weeks and have lost about 20 lbs. so far.

Recently I've been experiencing flushing in my face. It feels much like blushing but hangs around for awhile. Face feels hot.

Anyone else experience this?

which ones are u on? this is a side effect...of phentermine..it means YOU are taking the good one! the other manufaturer's out there now ****! Actavis was the good one that helped me to lose 30 pounds in 3 months and keep it off for 9 years...manufacturer's now aren't as good.

manufacturer-who makes it, what does it look like and what is the dosage? is it time released? congrats on the weight loss!

my father has high blood pressure so try to keep an eye on it or check with your dr. not trying to scare you just speaking from experience of taking care of him for the last year and half.

I also have high blood pressure and tend to have a face flush feeling at times. Oh also are you taking any vitamins, drinking slim fast, taking 5 hour energy drinks etc..if you take anything with Niacin in it you will get that face flush feeling. I know the low carb slim fast drinks and 5 hour energy drinks have that vitamin in them.

I'm taking Adipex, 37.5.

I do suffer from high blood pressure but am on medication to control it and so far so good.

Only vitamin I'm taking is D so no Niacin there.

I wonder if caffeine could trigger it. I'm trying not to drink much caffeine but do on occasion.
