Today is Day 3 for me. I take my phen at about 1030am at work and then I'm tapping my fingers and talking senselessly to my coworker lol. I work at a school so its slooooowwww in the summer time. It ****s not having that kind of energy in the evening when I'm home with my girls and could be cleaning house. It seems to be worn off by then. I've been eating healthy (for me anyway) and drinking lots and lots of water and working out when I can. I'm staying away from the scale until next week so that I don't get discouraged or excited over nothing. Well that was my vent for the day

ack! I would go stir crazy!! I cant even be in the car for too long. I get jittery. I feel myself blabbing too sometimes.. i even tell myself in my heda to shut up that i am going on and on about nothing.
or if I sit here for too long I notice i get to typing to fast and make mistakes and know it is time to get up and move!

yea me too it was worst the first day i took it but its just frustrating having that energy and not getting to do anything with it.

Just a suggestion...maybe when you arent so busy, you could walk a couple laps in the hallway or something. My mom is a nurse so when her patients are asleep(she works @ night) and things are going slow, her & some of the others walk around the unit a few times just to get some exercise in. Hope it helps some!

I'd go flippin nuts ....

I am all over the place!

I understand what you are going through. I work at a home office and I am at my desk a lot. The energy seems to come out of nowhere, I find myself tapping my feet a lot. It makes me want to go run up and down the stairs!!!

Dena T one suggestion, you may want to take your phen later in the day. That's what I do then you'll have enough energy for when you get home. Just a thought. It works for me to take mine at around 12noon, but everybody is different as some days I don't take it until 1pm. Just make sure it's not too late as it can give you insomnia. I'd say try it out and see if that works for you to give you the energy you need when you need it.

For me, I take it later because that is when I needed the most assistance with food cravings. Good luck with everything!!

thanks for all the advice!! i try to take a few breaks and walk around and its amazing even when walking just down the hall i have more bounce in my step. today i took half a pill at 1030 and another half at 330. maybe that will help to spread the effect until bedtime.
