For the past 3 days, I've found that any time I bend way over - like to look under the bed, I get a little dizzy.

Then, last night, at work, I went to the bathroom. I do a sort of squat where I'm bent over and scrunched up a bit. When I stood up, I was so dizzy that I stumbled backward slightly.

Is this a phen side effect??


I took my phen in the AM, and this incident happened 14+ hours later. I did eat.

At 10am I had 6 thick slices of cucumber, 6 strawberries, and about 30 oz of crystal light-ype drink.
around 2 I had 3 scrambled eggs w/ 2 morning chicken sausage and 1/2 oz cheddar cheese.

At 7 I had a big thick turkey burger w/ a quarter of a bun ans some onion slices and ketchup.

at 10, I had two ibuprofen (i think 400mg total) for a monster headache w/ water.

at 12am I had another 5 strawberries.

sporadically, I had raw unsalted almonds.

I've been drinking plenty of crystal light- and some water- maybe 20 oz.

Could it be from not getting enough carbs? That diet never works for me because I just can't go without any sugar.

I don't think you are eating enough. Maybe you are having enough calories but the spacing is too far. I eat a very small meal every 3 hours or so until 7 pm, then as best I can nothing after 7 and go to bed about 10-11. I did this before phen at the advice of my trainer and nutritionists.

I was light headed and dizzy at first, and now every so often, and turns out (as someone has already mentioned) I wasn't eating enough.

I can usually tell too that when I get a little light headed my blood sugar is usually a little lower than usual.
I'm Kim. Lucy & Macy are my dogs.

Phentermine raises your blood pressure and that can be dangerous. Headache and dizziness are signs of blood pressure elevation. Just be aware and go to the doctor if it gets worse!
