Hello everyone.. I get back in phent after 2 months without it.. but the problem is at night time I can't sleep.. I also take 1/2 sleeping pill and around 3 am I am awake and I can't back to sleep I have to drink some cold medicine to get back sleep..
I start it w/ phent in May only 2 months and I lost 16 lbs.. so I decide to bet back to lose another 8 lb. then I can do lipodissolve.. is a injections in your belly to get your belly flat.. is really good and works! but I am worry because I have a lot of energy and I can't sleep well..
Some advice???

You shouldn't be taking sleep meds and cold medicine to go to sleep. The sleeplessness will wear off soon but can you go to the gym before you go to bed? that's what I do to burn the extra energy. Then I take a hot shower with the lights off to relax and then that usually has me really tired by then.

Thanks Tisha for your advice.. I am going to the gym every day 40 minutes to do cardio, at my lunch time.. I work 9 hours.. and later go home and walk my dog.. but still feel full energy

Oh man! I wish I had energy like that. At least not these days. I can go to bed at 7pm if I didn't have stuff to do. Maybe you can find other things to do to burn the energy.(nite nite stuff) lol!

jajaja Tisha.. I know what do you mean.. even If I have someone to release my energy I don't think can work because another side effect to me is I lose all my disire to burn calories like you know (nite stuff ...

Have you tried Benadryl? I take two when I'm having trouble sleeping. Now I just started phen and haven't experienced any sleeplessness on it..but this is my plan if it does happen to me.

generic stuff works...costco, wal-mart, etc. Two of those things and within an hour you will knock out. I've done 3 even, and had some of the best sleeps ever. Sometimes I use it if I can't shut my brain off at night.

Funny thing, I've even used it on a foster dog I had. (now..ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE VET FIRST..I'm NOT TRYING TO GLAMORIZE THIS OPTION). She had skin allergies and while we were running tests and figuring out what was wrong with her, etc. I just hated seeing her so uncomfortable so my vet said I could give her a little benadryl, which of course made her comfortable, no itchies..and would knock her out. which helped since she was a super hyper doggie, and hadn't adjusted to our sleep schedule yet.

Anyway, I've yet to meet someone this doesn't work for..even my boyfriend who has bouts of insomnia and often takes sleeping pills...nothing works better than benadryl for him.

Maybe skip a day or two of the phen too see if that helps...or the hot bath idea sounds awesome too!

Thanks Chi2500 for your response.. I will try Benadryl, because what I taking now doens't work, I can sleep only 4 hours.. I don't feel tired but I know is for the phent but as soon as I leave the phent for one day I will sleep long!!
