Question
I TOTALLY understand that the eating and exercise habits are what need to change to keep the weight off, etc. etc.

However....what happens when you stop then phen? You guys probably think I am a psycho-over-worrier (I am! ) for asking and it's only my 2nd week, but I am just curious if when it's all said and done you have to "wean" yourself, or does your energy crash and you feel horrible, or....?

Thanks for any input!

I know some people have said that they can just stop using it without any ill effects but my doctor said never just stop taking it. He recommends reducing to every other day, then every third day, etc. until you are off. Because it's a stimulant, it can cause stomach upset, irritability, and loss of energy when you quit using it. Most people who have posted about it have said that goes away after a few days but that it's much less severe if you don't just stop overnight. Hope that gives you one less thing to worry about
