I have 15mg pills, I started yesterday on one at 11:30, I just took my first one today, because I did not sleep well (no suprise). But I wondered when should I start taking my first pill earlier and my second one! On the bottle it says one in the morning and one at noon. But should I give it a week before I try two. Didn't have many side effects besides I was really tired, a little dry mouth but I assume with a bigger dose it gets worse. I only ate a PB &J for dinner and no snacking after that...but I woke up hungry! Thanks

My dr prescribed me the 37.5 or whatever they are, I would say bump it up now, I take mine everyday at the sametime 5:30, am, on my way to work, keeps me good all day and I sleep great at night, going to bed at 7:00 to be up at 4:00 is an everyday thing and the Phen has not changed that at all, of course I am not a Dr, but I would think bumping it up would be ok..?
I started 3/12 last Friday and as of this morning I have lost 9 lbs, wasnt going to weigh back in until this Friday but I did anyway :)

good luck!!

MY DR. PRESCRIBED ME 37.5 AND TOLD ME TO TAKE 1/2 OF ONE UNTIL IT DOESN'T AFFECT ME ANYMORE. THEN AS I GET USE TO THEM TAKE 1/2 IN THE MORNING AND 1/2 IN THE AFTERNOON. SHE SAID NORMALLY AFTER ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS TO BUMP IT UP.
