Headaches while taking Phentermine 37.5mg?

[tonetj27]

I started taking Phen 37.5mg in March 08 and about 25 days into them I started getting really bad headaches. When I went to visit the doctor to let her know, she changed me to the capsules Phen 30mg. They didnt work to cut my appetite so she changed me to 15mg capsules and taking a 1/2 pills per day of the 37.5mg. This didnt work to cut my appetite either and it was a hassle remembering to take the 15 mg later in the day. So I just stopped taking them all together. I gained about 12lbs. Then I lost 10lbs on my own through exercise and counting calories. Then I noticed that my appetite was increasing but I didnt want to up my calorie intake. So yesterday was when I decided to start taking the phen 37.5mg. This is my second day and yes, the headaches are right along with it. The doctor says that she has never heard of someone having headaches with phen 37.5mg and I am wondering whats the problem? These are the only ones that cut my appetite and I am almost willing to deal with the headaches. Has anyone else experienced headaches while taking phen?

I got headaches at the beginning but they eventually stopped. My headaches could have been caused from cutting out sodas. For my headaches the only thing that works is excedrine migraine. Which does have caffeine in it. Just give it some time and they may stop on it's own.

I get headaches too and I am on the 30mg capsules. It feels like it is right behind my eyes but I have been on a week and they have been getting less and less worse.

Yes, I've been on Phen for almost 2 weeks straight now and first week was hell. I didn't know if I wanted to continue with it because the headaches were so bad. But it gets better, believe me. Good luck & hang in there, as will I!
