Just a little frighting...1st day

[StephanieB38]

Hello my name is Stephanie, today is my second day and to be honest with you i am a little scared. Yesterday was my first day (obviously) and i took the pill in the morning when i got up and felt fine until about 11 o'clock (am) then i started feeling light headed and completely detached and my fingers and toes were tingling. After about 3 hours it went away but then i just felt blank and emotionless which is not like me at all! I got home at 7ish and had a horrible head ache. Was this just first day sort of things i have never taken any medication like this, just aspirin and stuff like that so i don't know if this is normal. Especially the mood thing that's weird right? If anyone has felt this way please let me know if its normal!!!

Hi Stephanie! I've been taking it now for 3 weeks. The first day, I was jittery and a little lightheaded myself. However, I think it was more due to my cut in calories and not sure when to eat after taking it and such. I finally have got in the groove. I take it everyday at the same time, workout, then get ready for work, then eat.

By that time, I start feeling the jitters again but the food definitely takes the edge off. Are you cutting calories? I cut mine by 800, so that was a big jolt, plus I immediately cut out caffeine and sugar. I'm eating 1200 calories, but well balanced. I still eat 3x per day, I cant do the 5x, but I do snack in between which helps.

Good Luck! I've lost 10 pounds so far in 3 weeks, but didn't work out the first week to get used to Phen. Today I did this 30 day shred I see everyone talking about and holy cow....I have not sweat so much ever. You can find it on you tube...it's Jilian Michaels from Biggest Loser. They are in 9minute segments. I did Level 1, 1-3 this morning, about 30 minutes or so...WOW!!!!!

Thanks for the reply. Yes i have cut calories basically in half (about 1300 a day now).I cut caffeine, soda, processed foods and fast food...well basically everything that i was used to and substituted fresh fruit and vegetables, chicken, nuts, cheese, yogurt and lots of water. I am trying to be as healthy as possible. All that together must have sent my body for a loop i feel better today though. Thanks for the link i love Jillian! The biggest loser is my favorite, i have it set on auto TIVO.

Hey Stephanie
Your first day sounded very similar to mine. I am at day 6 and have lost about 4 lbs. You will start feeling better after day 3-4. Make sure to drink more water than you ever have-it will help keep you from getting the headache. I also experienced sleepless nights, but that too has corrected itself. Make sure to avoid caffine too.
Good luck-and don't give in to the side effects-they will pass.

Hello, I'm Bondille
just make sure you eat and drink lost of water.
This i my second time. i started last year at 263 lbs and within 3 months maybe i was down to 238. it can be done. I lost my brother to cancer and a friend i was going through alot. I put some of the weight back on.

the one thing i notice while on phen. im not hungry. make yourself eat. work out this way when you come off phen your body will want it. which will help you keep it off. cut back or off beef. just eat healthy.

good luck email if you have any questions or just need someone to help you get back on track.
