Switched from Phen to Tenuate

Well I tried the 30mg time release & the 37.5 tablet of Phentermine and I could not sleep at all, and was still hungry from like 2pm on. Also felt kinda jittery and iritable. I went back to Diet Dr. today and told her how I felt, and that I was ready to give up. She said don't give up, we will find the right med for you. She told me that phentermine is popular because it gives you alot of energy, however it's not for everyone especially if you have a sensitive system like myself (get more side effects with it). The Dr. switched me to Tenuate, she said this won't give me the energy like Phen but it will cut appetite better, and it leaves the body quicker,and has less side effects. She asked if I wanted one pill to take per day in the morning with an extender pill in afternoon. Or if I wouldn't mind she would give me 3 pills to take a day, with the benefit that each pill only stays in system for 3-4 hours. I choose to take the 3 because of my insomnia. She also gave me some extender pills, they are like 25 or 35mg but they only stay in system 3-4 hours also, she said to take one with my last pill of the day (4pm) if I feel that I'm still hungry in evening (so take as needed). The Dr. said the goal is to take the least amount of pills necessary but still get results. So I'll let you know how I do on these ones, wish me luck. I'm going to start tomorrow (Thurs.), and I can't wait to get back on track. Also Dr. said to be patient because any diet pill you have to give at least a week or two for your body to adapt to it. I had started at 216.8 then lost 5lbs going down to 211, today after being off pills for week and half I'm up to 214. I'm back on track and ready to lose.

Good Luck with it all. She is right Phen affects everyone totally different. When I originally started over two years ago, I had to beg my Dr to give it to me, she had some horror storys about others on it. Thank goodness I never had that problem though. Either way Phen or Tenuate You can do this.
Good Luck and keep us informed.
