Oh these side effects.....

[sjabss]

I can handle the dry mouth, and I really don't have a problem sleeping, but mid day I feel like my head is hot or something. No headache just like all the blood is rushing to my head, pulsing and I feel flushed in the face.
It is really hard to explain what I am feeling but it has been 2 weeks and I thought it would subside. I have lost weight though.

sjabss,
sounds like you're feeling the increased blood flow that comes with your boost in metabolism. This should subside later to a more comfortable degree. Make sure you have a follow up with your doc. that involves a blood pressure check to be on the safe side
as for the dry mouth... It's a reminder to
DRINK YOUR WATER (back me up here, Rena )
Otherwise your symptoms sound typical.
Good Luck
Luv,
Eva

Sjabss~
The feeling of warmness? Is also a slight increase in your blood pressure as well. I have read that phen can sometimes elevate the blood pressure. Actually I think that it was on the "info" sheet that you get from the drug store when they fill out your prescription!
I have noticed it as well, and my blood pressure is slightly higher than it normally is. But it isn't anything serious in MY CASE.
But I would do what Eva suggested~get that follow up with your doctor and check your pressure, just to be on the safe side!


Eva!! Girl! You are just full of good sense today!! It seems like all I am doing is running around this forum and saying "what Eva said..."LOL!

Take care,
