Hi Phrends! So, I didnt take my Phen this morning b/c for the last couple of days I have been REALLY irritable. Its pretty bad. My poor husband has been getting the brunt of it for no reason. Is this happening to anyone else? I dont like being a grump!

Same here, it makes me really grumpy and mean. And like your husband, mine bears the grunt of it. Bless his heart for putting up with me!

Yep, the ones I take now (generic MP273) really make me grumpy, the other's did not. My TOM came for the first time on these this week and I think hubby is glad he went out of town - I still yelled at him - even when he was going away for 4 days

I've only got 1 more week, then I'm going back to the others!

Well i'm irritable.. but this has been so since for about 20 yrs... guess i should stop calling it a mood swing?

no seriously... many people believe that phen can mess with your emotions... maybe use a half-dose untill you think you have adjusted, and try avoiding anything else with a stimulant effect... will just amplifly the problem

yes that is a side effect of phen. it should wear off or atleast be manageable. yes your poor husband! because i know what i put mine through. how long have you been on phen?
