crying alot

[tammysue28]

Hey, this is probably going to sound stupid, but does anyone else just start crying for no reason? When I was taking phen I was fine and then I started taking bontril. I was fine at first. It seems like now all I do is cry about everything and anything. People are steering clear of me lately. I think everyone is tired of seeing me cry. I was wondering if this is just a side affect from bontril or what. . Can anyone help? Tammy
P.S. no it's not that time of month. That only happens once every 6 months or so.

Bontril has those same personality enhancement effects that phentermine does Have you been irritable, hyperactive, or psychotic lately Can your mood change to, "OH SO HAPPY" at the drop of a hat? This is totally normal

[virgo69]

Thank god... i am normal after all!(at least according to the phen profile.)
My husband just said to me tonight" You run hot and cold more than a F**king faucet!!" He is right
Does this ever subside?I am tired of being a psychotic tyrant who walks out of the room i have just turned upside down to return 5 min. later appoligizing trying to clean up the mental chaos i have created.
Maybe the phen makers can try to leave the blue specks that cause this out?!

[tammysue28]

That's exactly how I feel. One minute I'm laughing and then the next either I'm crying or screaming at someone. My husband wants to know why I keep getting so upset. Now I can explain. I feel better now. The next smiley should be of pulling out your hair from frustration.

[Moonwatcher]

tammysue....I have a question for you,
are you anywhere near a mirror when the crying breaks out??
LoL
OMG....I can't believe I said that.
"OH MOON......YOU KNOW WHAT A JERK YOU ARE SOMETIMES, NOW APOLOGIZE TO POOR TAMMYSUE."
Hey....I'm not a jerk, I just like to make people laugh, that's all.
"WELL, MAKE FUN OF YOUR OWN DAMN SELF, NOT SOMEONE ELSE. REMEMBER....SANTA IS WATCHING YOU!!" Crap, now I'm gonna worry about the fat guy in the red suite. Hell.....can't get away with nothing no more!
"AND HEY MOONDOG OR WHATEVER THE HELL THEY CALL YOU, STOP EATING THOSE DAMN SUNFLOWER SEEDS. YOU SOUND LIKE A DAMN BIRD!"
Gee.......I do believe my other self is trying to pick a fight with me.
Ohhhhh.....poop on her!

[Paula]

Tammysue and Virgo,
Gosh....I could tell you stories about my behavior these past couple of weeks,even I don't want to spend time with myself.

The holidays don't help either.All the pressure for "it" to be oh so wonderful.

[JK]

Hey guess what I can do that without meds!!!! Paula start the LECTURE I think not just me needs it anymore....... oh and when you cry does hubby say that depression is just a part of life... learn to deal with it???

Deal with this :flipping off smile: is my reply to that crap!!!!!

Have nice Tuesday
JK

[AngelesaMom]

Tray it sounds like you just quoted my life!! I am just a mess. I can't handle the slightest amount of stress lately. I cause a HUGE scene then I spend the rest of the time trying to fix the craziness I started. Sunday I left my house before hubby got home from taking his mom to the store and I refused to come home. We were supposed to eat at her house at 2pm and I didn't come home till 4pm!! Of course I did that out of spite. You are probably wondering what happened so bad.. LOL It's a long stupid story. TO sum it up I wanted to get a shower, etc..and hubby left with his mom and I didn't have time to finish getting ready, LOL And with the baby it's a pain to get ready. All I wanted was him to wait a half hr so I could finish and Nope he had to leave.

Tammysue...I guess the answer is YES ... LOL I cried the entire day. It was awful.

Does anyone know where we can buy happy pills? LOL

[Shell2911]

I took Phentermine about 1 year ago. I loved the fact that I wasnt hungry. I lost like 17 lbs really fast. And I only had about 25 to lose. But, I had to quit taking it because my boyfriend said I was acting like a B!*@&! And I knew I was, but it was as if I couldnt stop it. Like you said nice one minute and crazy the next. I wonder if we took St Johns Wart or an antidepresant with it if it would help?

[Lanie]

I can cry at the drop of a hat since my first was born 4 years ago.....it is like my pregnancy hormones never went away....i cant even watch oprah anymore with out blubbering! doesnt matter..happy crying/sad crying, it never stops>>>>>everything just seems to touch my heart, like there is no buffer...but it hasnt gotten any worse with the phen (thank god cause i might have to go to the mental institution for a nervous breakdown) but i am lots more scatterbrained lately and not in the christmas spirit as much as normal, but nothing that my family cant deal with...YET

I have been on Phen for 2 weeks now. I have been taking Zoloft for depression for about 2 years now. Last January, I started taking Zenadrine, the wonder diet pill and about 6 weeks later, I had a major breakdown. I had panic attacks almost every day and I had never had them before so I called the psychiatrist on call at my dr's office around 11:00 because "i thought I was going to die" so he told me he would call in a prescription for Zanax, a pill that will help me relax, and said I would be fine in a few weeks. To this day, I do not know what caused it or why, but I had my suspicions about the Zenadrine w/ephedra, ma haung, so I swore to myself I would never take anything like that again. So then this November, I go to a weight loss center for a free consultation and body mass testing. I am greeted by this tall, thin woman, who says please remove your shoes and socks step on the scale-29.3 is my BMI. Anything over 25 percent can get appetite suppressants, she is overcome by joy and tells me to follow her to her office so we can discuss what is available. I am 5'3", medium build, I had a breast reduction last year, I was a 36DDD now I am a full 36c, this woman tells me I am dangerously overweight and I need to lose 30-40 lbs and they have just the plan for me-she noticed I was married so she proceeds to say, "with your beautiful blonde hair and your white teeth, after losing all that weight I could be a trophy wife." She said with the meds,drs, trainers, nutritionist it would be $2500 for 3 months, so how about we fill out some financing paperwork. I said I will have to discuss this with my husband, she said call him now I will give you a few minutes alone. I said no thank you and left. I then ordered the meds online, I thought I can do this. Well in the past 2 weeks I lost 5 lbs and my moods have changed more than some people's hair color, so I thought, it must be the side effect of the meds and it should pass. On Sunday night, my husband took me to the Tran-Siberian orchastra and we were sitting there waiting for it to start and all of a sudden I had a panic attack. I was thinking I have to get out of here, I couldn't breathe, my hands were sweating, so I told my husband I would be right back and went to the restroom. I took a Zanax (which I have in my purse at all times)just in case, and I was fine. I called my psychiatrist the next morning and asked him if he was familiar with Phentermine, he said yes, so I told him I purchased it online and had been on it for 2 weeks now and told him about the incident the other night, he said that it was not a good mix and said to stop taking immediately so I said ok thanks and got off the phone. I called my husband and told him what the dr had said and he said it was my decision on whether I should take it or not, but you know I love your body and I don't think you need it. So now, I don't know what to do. Is it worth the risk? Am I a prime example of the people on the cover of PEOPLE magazine under the caption "Dying to be thin" or am I paranoid?

[ROBIN]

Hello Fluffy,

What you should do, want to do, and going to do are never the same thing You use that term "paranoid" like it's a bad thing You are among friends here Fluffy Tomorrow we talk about PSYCHOTIC Episodes JK will be the first to post in this topic

[Paula]

Mary and JK,
My bad behavior has been more anger related than depressed. I have been so mean, the things that have come out my mouth has surprised me, its like someone said, you just can't stop.

Jk,
No hubby has never said that,(I was chuckling when I read it) depression is just apart of life, learn to deal with it!

Say to him:Honey have you ever heard of the word VALIDATION? Look it up in the dictionary.

I notice if I don't get out and have regular hard work outs, I go over the edge. The exercise really helps with stablizing my moods.

Some ladies are talking about bringing there hubby's to the phen. party, but look at all the dishing we would miss, we could not talk like this, if hubbys are around.

Mary,
Glad to hear I am not the only one who reacts with spite when I feel my needs are not being considered.

Fluffy,
I thought there used to be someone on this site that took phen and xannex for their anxiety. Did the DR say why it is "not a good mix?"

Paula

[texaschic]

I wanted to reply to FluffyBlonde concerning the Xanax-Phen combo. I too get extremely nervous and irritable, could be the Phen, kids, hubby, the season,LOL Anyway,Used to get those pesky Panic Attacks too. KNOCK wood haven't had one in quite a while. But I have a scipt for .5 mg Xanax. I take it in the late evening, seems thats when the irriablity and frustration is worse. I feel ok about it. It's not listed a conflicting interacting drug with thw Phen. Most Dr. won't even prescribe Xanax or Phen, much less advise to take them both at the same time. I would do what made me feel better, just watch it and YOU know how you feel. BUT I'm not a doctor, just watch em on TV! LOL Good Luck!!

[Missy]

Oh gosh.......I thought I was the only one
experiencing these odd mood swings. One minute (I mean literally) I'm just wonderful and everything is right with the world. The next, I am so depressed and, yes, angry!!

My boyfriend has about had it with me. One minute, he's the best thing on earth, the next, I'm breaking up with him.

Also, I oredered Phen from an "alternate" source, and have not received word, email, or the med for 2 weeks! I'm getting very edgy. That has made my mood even worse. I don't know what to do. I've tried emailing them, no response. I know I can't stay on it forever, what do I do? I really don't need to lose anymore, but I am scared to death of gaining.

Help!! I think I'm turning psycho.

[katters28]

LOL That paranoid feeling, the panicky feeling...my Dr. warned me about all of it when she handed me the prescription. And believe me, I have it LOLOLOLOL I think this is the only place I feel comfortable talking about everything, no matter how crazy I seem And Robin, where is that Physycotic episode post? If you don't mind, I will start it for you I have got a good one

[iamsam29]

hi everyone...
I needed to reply to this one...
I've been taking phen for almost 2 mths now. I've lost 19 lbs and have 22 to go. Hubby doesn't know about my phen and he keeps asking me 'HOW' I am losing the weight. I keep telling him that I'm drinking alot of water.. He probably knows, but I'm not telling him. He's got such a friggin big mouth. We've had trial and error with that, now he's untrustworthy. He's told some private things, that I just could've killed him over.. Like the time that I was bleaching my teeth, my salary and just private ****. But anyway.... I've been a wicked bitc* since I started taking Phen. He said to me yesterday, 'do you know that every time someone asks you a question or tells you something that you immediately snap at them or have something really negative to say'? Oh well he was talking about his daughter (10yr old and brain washed from her psycho mother, we can't even go to open house at school because she's such a f***ing nut case), but she says stuff to me that pisses me off. Plus everyone always tries to get my kids (son, ADHD) into trouble. He's blamed for doing everything, even if he wasn't home to do it) oh, had one of those fights this weekend too. How is it possibly to break something when you're not even in the same town? Well, I know I'm no rocket scientist or anything, but I do not physical impossibilities. Oh, he's not only ADHD but he's got telekenitic (sp).. Oh that's the best one... Oh, is it the Phen or am I on a roll? Oh, and the other night, I kept thinking that my son is going to die, and I laid in bed with him and cried for an hour. How about that one.. Am I freaking anyone out yet,or do I need help? I don't feel crazy, I don't get panic attacks with the breathing thing. 2 weeks ago hubby and I were in the car going to a friends house. My kids were with their dad and step-daughter was with psycho mom. So all of a sudden I can feel my face turning bright red, and my pupils get huge. I'm feeling like I could physically hurt someone (hubby) for some not so nice things that were said to the kids. He looks at me, and I fipped out... I could tell that I scared him, because he kept saying look in the mirror, you're not ok, what's wrong with you. You're a mess. What the hell is the problem, then my lips parted and I started yelling. He's in shock at this point, where did this come from and now you've gotten me mad!!! Too bad, I'm not through with you yet.. Now I tried to settle myself down, thank god it was another 40 minutes till we got to our friends house.

Has this happened to anyone.. You all seem mild compared to this one... I know too that it sounds pretty funny. But I don't want it to happen again, and when he starts his ********(like every man), my brain clicks on and I just tell him he'd better hold on...
thanks for letting me give you a freak show...have a good day

[ROBIN]

Sam,
Do you feel that Phen makes you a better ***** Sometimes when I'm really really bored, I like to double my dose just to see what new **** I can start Your story sounds perfectaly normal to me It wont quit happening completely But after a couple more episodes like that one, your hubby will think twice before pissing you off and causing you to FREAK OUT Your story is funny but it's because I see myself in it. So I'm not laughing at you but with you

[texaschic]

HEY Fellow Phensters!!
It's the same here! My hubby knows I', on the pills, and I have taken them in the past so he knows how it can get. But I'm just waiting for him to say, " I can sure tell your taking those diet pills or you need to stop cause...... I will just kill him and finish cleaning the house!!! No problem.

[stargrrl]

Sure I can relate! I have a husband and 2 teenage boys. You would think they were victims of torture because I ask them to help around the house. I just got finished hollering at my youngest. He was dripping tacos all over the place. grrr. This after I just finished cleaning like a pheniac. He whips out the vacumn and does ONLY the part he claims he messed up and is now sulking in his room, the best (worst) is yet to come, the others are on their way home as we speak.
So don't be too hard on yourselves, it's all in a day's work.

[KeriPye]

Oh yeah..I've definitly got the mood swings too...i guess its something i have to get used to if i'm taking diet pills?
My boyfriend's getting tired of my screaming at him and then apologising 2 minutes later.

HHmmm...do they make diet pills with no mood swing effects?

[va beach girl]

I have always been somewhat crazy so hubby thinks that this is my norm... Actually, my house i cleaner than ever and he thinks the pills have made me calmer, maybe its all in my head?

[Paula]

iamsam29,
No, I am not mild in comparison.I have had some wild verbal matches with hubby that I don't even understand. I just don't disclose the blow by blow scenario's.
You see, I really want to go to the Phen Party and I don't want everyone saying, can you believe that little Paula kept opening/and closing the car door,so it could repeatedly hit the pole in the garage, when she was mad at hubby, while he looked on?All the while saying I know this stupid car is more important than anything in your life!

He hasn't made me mad for awhile now.I noticed he bite through his tongue the other day.......tsk.tsk.tsk.
Feeling much better this week.
Got my period today.You know Phen and PMS REALLY don't mix. The rage, the raging hormones.
It is so hard to be a women.

Wish my house was cleaner,I have lost that side effect too.

FluffyBlonde, I have taken Phentermine in the past with no problems. I've started again for the first time in over four years, and it hasn't been as effective. My weight has always been a source of anxiety for me, and I also have General Anxiety Disorder (for which I take BuSpar). Anyway, after a rough two years (grandfather died, first baby was born, mom died, changed careers to be an at-home-mom then took on work from home, moved twice, - I could go on, but you get the idea, a lot of stress)I saw a psychologist who told me to stop taking the phentermine immediately and she put me on Zoloft, along with the BuSpar. Well, since the weight is one thing that causes so much of my depression, I secretly began sneaking the phentermine back in. I take it in the morning, then my Zoloft in the afternoon. It's not advised by any doctor, but I haven't had any psychotic episodes. If your husband doesn't mind you being overweight and you are comfortable with yourself, I woudln't risk it. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by FluffyBlonde:
