Abby,

I just began using about a week ago. 15 mg per day. I had a few incidents of chest pain, but I didn't know it could be related until I logged on to this site today. It felt like my chest was tight and I was short of breath, but it went away in a minute. Are you going to aks your doctor?

annie,
I think I will call my doctor, but it also went away. It lasted about 2 hours. I had not eaten all day until about 3pm, so maybe thats why. When I ate it felt much better. How are you doing on it? I lost about 5 pounds. Well, good luck. Hope its working for you.

Abby,

You have to eat!! Even if you don't feel hungry. Sometimes I have to force myself to take a few bites, which is so strange since everyone who knows me knows that I am ALWAYS HUNGRY!I have lost about 5 lbs this week. I don't weigh myself, but I can tell from my jeans. The jeans that got a bit tight are fitting quite nicely now. This is what I am doing... I worked with a personal trainer once and I am following what he told me. To lose weight safely, I need to take in about 1700-1800 calories per day. Divide them up between proteins, carbs, fats, fruits, veg. So, I just keep track (more or less) of what I am eating, but I EAT! And I'm eating everything. Because for me, it is being realistic. I had 1/2 piece of pizza with soup one day, I had a jr charbroiled hamburger without mayo or cheese to satisfy that craving one day.If I deprive myself, I go nuts. But, the phen is helping me to not be so obsessed with my next meal. I would like to lose about 25 more lbs. I need to get some exercise, though, as well. Anyway, keep in touch!

Abby,
Check with your Doctor. It sounds as if the dosage might be too high. For myself, I find that a light breakfast works really well for me and then I take the phentermine following that. I also eat a light lunch, drink lots of water, ice tea etc. and most of the time I do not eat dinner. So far this has worked for me because I find myself not hungry in the evening. To date, I have not had any headaches or side effects. At this time, I only take the phentermine, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Hope some of this info helps.
