SIDE EFFECTS OF PHENTERMINE?

**renae01** · June 11th, 2009, 01:26 AM

I know acne is not listed as a side effect of phentermine, nor is depression. But I swear I get both as soon as I start taking them. Does anyone else have one or both of these side effects? And what have you done for them? THANK YOU!!!
Breaking out SO, SO bad!!

Sorry, I didn't have either of these symptoms. I would call ur doctor though, especially with the depression part. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. Keep us posted.

I don't know if it is the Phen or not, but literally overnight the day I started it I had major issues with acne. The upside is that although that first day was horrible, it seems like that was it. Everything is clearing up now from that first day. The DOWNside is that, well, it wasn't just my face. My whole body was affected, even my LEGS! I almost died. I have never had anything like that happen before. It's 9,000 degrees in East Tennessee, and I am wearing pants and long sleeves! Thankfully it's going away now.
