hi again. so i have been on phen 30mg for 2 weeks and i am now starting my 3rd week. first week lost 4 pounds and 2nd week gained 1 pound back. ok the 1st day i took the pill i felt dizzy, light headed and not hungry at all but felt energetic. so the 2nd day all side effects are gone, its like im not even on anything. i thought it was weird for all side effects to subside just on the 2nd day! so i continued to take it. at least i didnt feel sick. when i realized i gained 1 pound i asked the dr. if he could up it cause all effects were gone. he said it was too early and he suggested i take the pill a little later than usual. so today i did. i took it at 10am instead of 7am. and i feel the same way i did on the 1st day! i also think i was making a mistake by taking the pill right after breakfast. have any of u tried taking the pill a little later than usual or changed ur routine?

OH THANK YOU! Cause I'm getting tired between 3-4 pm! Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate you posting this!

I've always taken it on an empty stomach at 5am. I crash at 3-4 since I have given up the caffine...I was thinking about starting to drink regular coffee again since this crashing bit is making me nuts. Maybe I will just change the time that I take it.

I take mine about 8:30 then go back to sleep and eat breakfast about 10:00( well on the days that my daughter lets me sleep in.

I dont know if its working b/c I dont have any side effects really but I am only on 15mg

I take mine at 1 in the afternoon, I like it much better that way. At first I was taking a half in the am, half in the pm, but now I take the whole thing around 1, and I think it works better for me. mines 37.5
