Hi all!
I just filled my prescription for 30mg of Phentramine and am ready to start but have read some input from others and now I am scared to death to start. I am afraid of side effects such as Heart racing, Nervousness etc.... I tend to be on the Anxious side anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions?? Please help!! Thanks....Pattie

Hello..I have just started on Phen for the second time, I did it last year and lost 25 lbs taking 30 mg then increasing to 37.5, When I reached my goal, I stopped. Then I made no efforts to keep it off, hence the result: I gained some of it back. I experienced severe mood swings but I stuck to it. This time I have chosen to began taking 37.5mg right away, and I started on Monday, and I have experienced severe headaches and for the first time last night I had a difficult time falling asleep. I have spent most of today reading this forum (which I just found out existed) and I have found out most people suggest to start; to cut your tablet in half taking one in them a.m. and one in the p.m. or only half a day, (unless you have the capsules); then increasing the dose, as you feel you should. My suggestion to you is to read,learn, and educate yourself about this medication. Most of all you should be monitored by a doctor, this way whenever you experience side-effects you can consult/call your doctor. Only you can make the final decision as to whether or not you want to take this medication, but if your looking for someone to convince you to take it, it is my opinion; you shouldn't.

There are lots of side effects. I've been on phen 3 different times. But it is worth it! I lost 20 lbs after the birth of my second child. The second time I was on I couldn't afford to stay on it. This is the third time and I've been on it a month so far and have lost 13 lbs. I love phen!
