I think it really depends on the person. I've read posts on here that sleeplessness will subside after a few weeks... I've been taking phen for 7 and I still can't sleep! I've just changed my patterns up... I don't take phen on the weekend because my body is exhausted. During the week, I only get a few hours a night. I do hope this goes away quickly for you, seems like it does for many! Best of luck to you!

Hey Crystal,

Glad to hear your headaches are better. I still have some trouble sleeping. I guess it's just something we have to learn to live with...unfortunately. Tanya has a great idea...take the weekends off so you can get some much-needed rest.

I've had trouble on phen getting to sleep, that never went away. I went from my usual 10pm bedtime to like 1am, but I didn't feel sleep deprived either.

I've had no problems sleeping with the Bontril.

Now, Didrex, that was a WHOLE 'nother story...didn't eat, didn't sleep and hubby was ready to hire me out during the night as a cleaning lady. LOL

The sleep thing for me has never totally gone away on the phen, but it did seem to relax a bit after the first 2 months were over. The really hard thing for me was when I got off the phen a few years ago...I was tired like I had never been in my life and I swear I slept for a month straight!! This time when I go off the phen I will go off gradually not cold turkey!!

Maybe you should look into a lower dose of the phentermine or take it earlier in the morning???

I got headaches from consuming caffeine while on phen. The two don't seem to mix well for me.

Yea, the sleeping thing is kinda something I just had to adjust to!! Thats why its 1:17 am & Im posting all my skinny-bound sisters some notes!

I read that you should take it early in the morning. Today was the first day I went from 15mg to 30mg and I am still up. Then again, I didnt take it until almost 11am so I might be up all night.
It was sooooo effective, I forgot to eat today until my sister ordered dinner. So, salad and pizza... not very healthy but I've got to remember to eat!
