I am new to Phen. I started it on 07/07/07. I had really bad jitters the first day, I mean, it was so bad I couldn't have driven anywhere even if I had to. This has decreased to where it is manageable for me, but the sleeplessness has not gone away. How long does this usually last?

I have lost 7 lbs in the 4 days I have taken it, so I am really happy with the results, I just don't want to end up in a cycle where I have to take a pill to go to sleep. This is what I have been doing because I can't sleep at night. I take an over the counter sleep aide which the Dr said was fine, but I wanna know how long I should expect this sleeplessness to last!

That is an awesome weight loss. My jitters went away in about a week.

If I drink coffee while taking it, I will have the jitters very bad and be unable to focus. So star away from caffeine

Thanks for the replies! Woke up this morning down another pound! Whoo hoo!

Hopefully this sleeplessness will go away, I decided to try taking it earlier too, so now I take it at 6 instead of 7 in the morning.

hi, my sleepless nights went away on about the 5th night. my dr has just increased my dose from 18 to 34 (or whatever it actually is) everyother day and my regular 18 everyday in between and i am starting with the symptoms all over again. dry mouth, clenched teeth and neverending thirst. am really hoping that the sleepless nights dont start again cause i'm already shattered running around after 2 kids! I did find that taking my pill early - around 6.30 am - helped.

I had to completely cut caffeine; coffee, tea, everything. I had a problem sleeping the first week but my heart rate was the real concern. I was maxing out near 200bpm when I would train, not good. Soon as I completely cut caffeine problem solved - headache for a few days but that has gotten better.
