Possible side effect?

[Stacy311]

Hello All,
I have a question. Today, I woke up VERY late, so I decided not to take my Phen. This was the first day since I have started that I decided not to do this. I am taking 18.75mg (I cut 37.5's in half). I found that throughout the day, I had a very hard time concentrating, on anything. This has never happened to me before, usually when I would take a couple of days off, I would be a bit tired, but that was it. Has anyone else had this happen? It was more of me having a hard time focusing on things...like I was trying to write something and I would constantly lose my train of thought. Any help is appricated.

Could it have anything to do with waking up late? Or all of the things going on in the world? Perhaps some outside (non-phen) influences are affecting your concentration. I go off from time to time, and it doesn't seem to affect my concentration. I do, however, get easily distracted by outside forces (kids, work, hubby, life, etc.)

Well, I don't know what it was. Maybe because I worked all weekend (12 hours w/o a break on Saturday) and yesterday was my first full day off from school and work, too much relaxation so my body didn't know how to handle it. I took my Phen today and I feel better. Maybe it is stress that caused it, too. I have a lot going on and not enough time to do it in. (Like all of you guys!) Thanks for the help!

This happened to me the first two days. I also had a hard time coming up with the right word...like I'd say "I'm going to go down and get the groceries out of the driveway" when I meant to say "out of the car". It didn't worry me. I could actually tell it was adjusting to the pill and it disappeared quickly. I hope it self-corrected for you quickly as well.
