I am sooooo sleepy.... I know this is crazy and I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I take my Phen (30mg Ionamin) about 8:30 am, and within 10 minutes I begin to feel real drowsy, sometimes I succumb and take a nap and others times I manage to fight thru it, mainly cause I am suppose to be working… LoL
I tend to stay up quite late on a regular basis, 2AM and I am up at 6:30am to get my son on the bus. But I also get in my naps now, and the sleepiness usually hits right after I take my pill, I have noted that I feel fine before I take it?? Any ideas why I would be experiencing this drowsiness after taking my phen. I should be feeling lots of energy, at least I use to?
Go Figure????

Unhappy

I wish it would make me sleepy.

I have seen that some people here list that as a side effect.

I've even cut my Diet Coke consumption down from 2 litres a day to none or one... and I still can't get more than 5-6 hours of sleep.

Good deal for you!

HEY LASCHANCE
I WAS THE SAME WAY
AND MY SLEEP PATTERNS ARE SOMEWHAT LIKE YOURS
TRY TAKING YOU VITAMINS AT NIGHT RIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED AND YOUR PHEN IN THE MORNING AS USUAL
IF YOU DRINK COFFEE GET DECAF BECAUSE IT INCREASES THE SLEEPINESS OR IT COULD KEEP YOU CHARGED
HAVE YOU GUYS NOTICED CAFFEINE CAN BE AN UPPER AND A DOWNER
ONE MINUTE YOUR CHARGED THEN SUDDENLY YOUR BODY STARTS UNWINDING AND UNWINDING UNTIL YOU FEEL TIRED AGAIN
I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT

yeah - i think what it does is it tires out your body - works it a little xtra - so you get a little run down at times.

It sure could make you sleepy! Here is my story-I took the phen and after a few months I went to the dr and my pulse was 110 and so I went back and again it was really high(maybe from the phen) and the dr said I was feeling tired and drained from my heart racing and working so fast all the time. So for the time being I am OFF of the Phen and back on blood pressure meds, to control my heartrate! Oh and getting FAT again in the mean time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the all the ideas. I think I might try taking it with a can of coke.. I never did get into the habit of coffee or tea. Didn't like the taste!! So its only diet pop for me.. LOL I do have some caffeine pills, they are 100 mg, but I am not sure if I want to take that chance, since I have no tolerance to caffeine.

Also I have only been on the 30'mg for aprox 3 weeks and I had my blood pressure taken twice since I began this ride and the Dr said it was "perfect".
