Sleepless side effect...sexomnia?

[herrweightloss]

I have been on Phen since 2/27. I have been staying up later, getting up earlier, and generally waking up once or twice in the night. I am typically a sound sleeper - so I know the Phen is having some effect on my sleep schedule. This probably isn't helped that I have been busy at work and at home with my kids.

So, twice in the past 2 weeks I have woken to find that I was "having some fun with my husband." I initially thought he had started it - but was surprised to find out that I came on to him. As he put it..."You were all over me."

I have no recollection of starting things and it was very weird to wake up and be in the middle of it, but obviously enjoying myself when I became aware. So I googled some things and saw that there is a sleep disorder called "sexomnia." Usually occurs when someone is not getting enough sleep/under some stress - too weird!

Just curious if there is anyone out there that has experienced similar on phen. It was a little disconcerting for me - but my husband has been very happy with this side effect.

Love the post.....no...not my problem....better not let my husband find out or he will be upset to think it has not done this to me! (lol). Hey...just think of the extra calories you are burning at night?

That's true! Come to think of it, I need to log those calories in my Loseit app on my iphone!

I had the same issue the first weeks of going to bed late, waking up during the night and feeling wide awake but then would go back to sleep and then wake up early and still felt refreshed like I had a good night sleep but the sex part, my husband wishes!!! LOL

Have fun with it!!

My first question is what time are you taking your phen?

And increased sexual desire is very real with Phen for some people. I had that the first three months that I took Phen. Didn't do things unaware in my sleep, however noticed amped up desire...made it difficult to think about much else for awhile.

Well ladies, I am glad I am not a total freak then! I was a little nervous about posting it, but I thought that I had to know. I take phen pretty early in the a.m. - usually at 7 a.m. before I head in to work.
