Tired some days and energetic some days??

[kathmerkin]

Hi. Does anyone have different days on the phen?? Some days it works GREAT!Loads of energy, going all day, thirsty and downing water all day, could care LESS about eating, and other days (like today), I feel tired, and blah... and not much energy and I actually take naps with no problem.and people even comment that I seem tired today. I did work two twelve hour shifts at the hospital the past 2 days, so normally on my first day off I am tired anyway, but on phen I wouldn't expect that to happen... Anyone else have varying days like this?? Just curious.. I HAVE lost 14 lbs tho... YEAH!! started this on Feb. 20th. BTW, Happy Easter Everybody... Now if I can only keep my HANDs off the kids candy.. Kathie

Yes, I am the same. Although I don't have a lot of energy any day really. I haven't had any trouble sleeping, thats for sure! I am cooking right now...making turkey breast & sweet potatoes & potatoe salad..and mac & cheese, strawberry shortcake for dessert! Then tomorrow going to my moms...man this is a hard time to not eat~ And, my kids have a TON of candy already! I took them to an easter egg hunt! I forget what candy I bought them, but I tried not to get my favorites.

Hope everyone has a happy easter!!

hi kathie, like you I work 12 hour shifts too I have only been on it for 2 days now and I also was thinking the same thing day one full of energy and not hungry but day two was hungry and found it easy to go to bed early, but I am only early days on this med and I hope that it will all work out for you and I. I have 28kgs to lose I have lost 1 kg already.How many mgs are you on?
And are you still trying to squeaze in some exercise?I know it is hard working long shifts.

The first month I was on Phen I had pretty good energy and didn't seem tired, but this month I have days where I just want to nap. Hoping it isn't a sign that it is not working as well. I'm on the 30mg blue/clear pills so I may talk to my doctor at my next weigh in to see if I should go up to the 37.5mg pills or not. Best of luck to everyone. Congrats on the 14lb loss Kathie, keep it up!

I am on the 37.5 mg. pills (the first week or so I broke them in half). From what I hear on this board, the 37.5 mg. pills (scored) have the same amt. of phen (active ingredient) in them as the 30 so the 37.5 (scored tabs) really only have 30 mg. in them. The are nice because you can break them in half if you want where as the capsules you cannot break. Yes, Easter is not easy is it? I just made a big ham dinner for my family tonight, and I sort of went astray you might say. anyway, hopefully back on track tomorrow.. Ya have to live on Holidays, etc.. Just get right back on track the very next day, and it all seems to work out ok... Good Luck everyone.. Kathie
