Newbie here with some questions (started Phen Monday)

[EliseC]

I started Phen on Monday and so far I'm having a great week, however, I do have some questions...

1) I know that you can build a 'tolerance' for Phen but I'm wondering when that typically happens? I'm taking 1/2 a pill (37.5mg) right now, but plan to bump it up to a full pill next week.

2) If I go on Phen for a few weeks and notice that it isn't working as well, how long do I have to go off, before it will start working again?

3) I still feel 'hungry' yet I don't have a desire to eat. It is a wierd sensation, but it is almost like nothing sounds good. Is this normal?

I'm sure I'll have more questions, but that is it for now. Thanks so much!!!

Hi Elise!

Sounds like you're doing great! In my experience, phentermine will start to lose its strength after 3 months. Don't get discouraged too soon....just when you think it's not working you'll end up with a loss!

Having no interest in food is the best part of taking phen. You WILL be hungry, but you probably won’t care what you eat…which makes it easier to munch on a salad or chicken breast just to take away the hunger pangs. Phen helps you to make better choices because you stop craving foods. You’ll just eat to survive!

Hi! I just started also, so I appreciate your questions because I have the same ones! I am really enjoying the phen and DREADING the time when it loses it's effect!

I feel EXACTLY what you described...I feel physical hunger, but when I look at food I don't get excited, or crave anything. So, I am now looking at food as a way to fuel my body, not just something to eat because it "tastes good."

I am taking the 30 mg capsules. I only have a 30 day supply, so not sure if I want to take 37.5 next month or just keep this dosage.
