Question
I was wondering if anyone takes breaks in between taking phen? if so for how long.

I am starting to lose the effects of the pill I'm eating more and tired more often. I have been on the pill for 1 month and I have lost 10 lbs along with taking 1 A day weight smart. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Mrs sweet low

I am in the same situation as you. I've been on Phen for about a month too and my hunger is back as usual. It's not like at the begining that I couldn't even finish half of what I was eating. Some people here say to take about a week or more of a break. Others say to take the weekends off. I tried the weekend and is a little better, I think I will try taking a whole week off and see what happens. Hope this help, don't give up. Take care.

Many people take breaks (like weekends) or a week-2 off. I did a 6 day break, have been on for a week and now plan 1/2 dose for a couple of days, then a week off.

I think it takes 2 weeks to leave your system completely.

When i resume, it works about 75-80% as it did when i first started.

I've taken Lipdrene in between to help curb my appetite...it's OK, but not phen.

hope this helps

thanks you guys. I think I will try the weekend off and if that does not help I will try 2 weeks off.

I also heard that 1 month on phen and 1 month off can do some good, but I don't think I can go off for that long.

Thanks again

The first time I took a break from Phen it was about 4 months, befor I went back on, and since then I take breaks every other three weeks, and also may take a few days off in between and take SAN TIGHT instead.

Sooner or later you will have to take a break, and unfortunitly, for some people going back on after even a couple months or longer you still wont ever get the complete full affect from the first time you ever had taken it.

But with me personally, I found that the breakes that I take do help re-kick start my phen.

Also, if you feel you are not losing right now you might be at a platue. Change things up with your exercise and food intake, and drink some xtra water

What type of pills are you taking? you may need to up your dosage.

Hey congrats on those ten pounds gone too.
