i'm not sure if this is the case with pure phentermine... i've only taked adipex.... but i swear it was turning my brain to mush! i couldn't think straight, or concentrate, and i was forgetting things. i truly felt "drugged". i guess it could have been because i was eating so much less, but i'm pretty sure it was the pills. anyway... i'm going to lay off the pill today and see if i feel normal. if so, tomorrow i'll try 1/2 a pill and see how i do. i don't want to quit this diet... i've lost 12 lbs in 10 days... but i do need to feel like i can function normally! anyone else get this feeling???

it's strange that I never remember this until someone else mentions it but, yes I was a lttle absentminded and even clumsy in the beginning. I am assuming that this did not happen for too long since I always forget about it. Now, I am not having any problems at all. I hope taking half a pill works for you,

6 months into this ... still have those feelings. I'm not on Phen all the time ... and when not, things are as normal as use to be. If I ever was normal .... hmmmmm

But what I found helps is - lists. I'm an organized person anyway, but I just took it a step further ..
'Roc do this, be sure to do this .... Go here, before there .... return so and so call. Now I don't need my lists all the time, but I don't want to behind on doing things or forgetful of important stuff.

Yeah that happened to me when i was on Adipex which is Phen for 3 months, Adipex is the strongest Phentermine on the market, 37.5 which that might be your problem right there. try going down to 30 or even 15 which you might not lose that much but it may be better for you.

Right now im on the 3rd month, this month i just started adipex since i started low this time and so far i havent seen those effects which i had before when i started with adipex from scratch.

I would suggest taking half a dose. I went through the same thing. I've always prided myself on my great memory but once I started taken adipex (37.5) that all changed. I hated not being able to focus or concentrate. I now cut my pill in half and take it in the morning about 9:30 or 10:00. It's still effective for me, only about dinnertime I do start to get hungrier, but not as bad as before the phen.

hey there I was aexperienceing the same thing and I decided to take half in the morning and half in the mid afternoon.. It has helped me a lot.. it has also allowed me to eat the calories I need because when I take the whole pill I coukd actually go all day without eating and usually get a sore throat because of it! So no you are not alone and I believe if you chop the dose in half you should feel a little better if better all together

I had "brain fog" with generic and adipex so I don't think it makes a difference with me......some days were so bad I coldnt' remember the names of my kid's teachers.

[JustKim]

I've experienced it, but I don't remember when. How's that for brain fog?

[Band Mamma]

My body felt chemically saturated and almost toxic after the first 2 months on it. It's one of the reasons I took a break. Brain fog, shaking hands, so much trapped energy I felt like a mouse being chased by a cat, etc.... It was such a relief to detox for a bit!
Every once in awhile I still get a blank stare on my face because I'm waiting for my brain to catch up with processing information. I only take half so I don't think I would have made it past the first 2 weeks if I had started with a whole pill. It's tough, but hang in there. It's worth it in the end if you use the time to learn what to do and not to do so you can be thinner and healthier the rest of your life.
