stomach cramps?

[melissaweath]

I am on my 3rd day of phetermine. I am taking the 37.5 mg. The 1st day I broke it in half because I was not sure how I would react. Yesterday I took the entire pill. I have noticed several side effects already. I have bad stomach cramps for the last two nights. I also have ADHD therefore amphetime type meds slow me down as oppossed to giving me energy. So I have been very tired. I have also had problems with my jaw aching. I noticed yesterday that I had hives on my chest and thighs after the shower and again later on in the evening. I have not been as hungry, but are these side effects going to ease up, is it going to be worth it in the end.

my starting weight is 145 lbs, 5'5

my goal weight is 120 lbs.


has anyone else had the combination of these side effects?

Is there any way you can be allergic?! Hives are a warning sign of that.

THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE!! I POSTED THAT WHEN I FIRST STARTED ON THE PHEN. I HAVE BEEN ON IT FOR ONE MONTH TOMORROW. I HAVE NOT EXPEREIENCED THOSE SIDE EFFECTS SINCE THE FIRST FEW DAYS, HOWEVER, SOMETIMES DURING THE DAY I STILL GET A SMALL BREAK OUT OF HIVES, BUT IT SEEMS THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I TAKE ALLERGY MEDICINE (ALLEGRA) COMBINED WITH THE PHEN-MAYBE THAT IS A BAD COMBO. BUT THINGS ARE GOING REAT NOW- I AM TOTALLY WILLING TO DEAL WITH THE SIDE EFFECTS BECAUSE I AM NOW WEIGHING 130LBS!! THAT IS A 15 LB WEIGHT LOSS IN A MONTH!! ONLY 10-12 LBS LEFT TO GO!! THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN, HOPE THINGS ARE GOING WELL FOR YOU TOO!!
