I have been taking phentermine for 1 week and I have been feeling slight pain on the left side of the chest from the first day that I took it and sometimes I feel like my left arm hurts. Has anyone else felt this way.

I haven't felt any pain, however it doesn't seem to make me lose weight. How many mg's do you take.

I have only been on Phentermine for 3 days but I have only had a headache, but I don't know if that is where I have had no pop. And I have had a dry mouth. I am taking 37.5 mgs. a day.

Hi, I have been taking phentermine for 3 weeks and have had no side effects. I have however lost 23lbs. I lost the first 18lbs week #1.
My sister is taking it as well, she has lost 15lbs, but is experiencing a rash on her arms and legs, anyone else had this problem???

Shaztaah,
WAY TO GO!!!! CONGRATULATIONS on your 18 pounds the first week. It must be nice.. What in the world are you doing to be losing that much weight?Please give me some tips. Well, tomorrow will be exactly one week since I started. I am 5'3" and I weigh 182 pounds. I feel like I have not lost anything, but I am going to hang in there. How much more weight do you have to lose? Well, keep up the good work, keep me posted.

Shaztaah- I am 190 pounds 5'5 and trying to reach 125-130. I took my first dose today. I am feeling alittle light headed but nothing to serious. I am wondering what type of diet are you eating and are you exercising as well. This is a major issue for me so if you can please let me know I would appreciate it greatly. All others may write as well. My e-mail address is adrianne@pennservers.com.

Congrats on your weight loss that is great I have been on Phen for about 5-6 weeks now and i have lost 22 pds. I have just recently noticed a rash on my back and under my arms. The rash itches a little and consits of red hard pimples in diff. spots. I am going to see my doc. next week for my monthly visit and i will let you know what he says about the rash. Way to go and everyone keep up the great work you can do it

Today is my first day.... It is encouraging to read all your successes. I am 5'4' and weigh 218 - the most ever... I've lost on fasts,etc. but then I gain it back and then some. My greatest mistake was the very first diet I ever went on and that was in high school... 40 years ago... My life has been one of feast and famine... As old age starts nearing, there is a lot more at stake. Even things like simple flexibility... Ah well, hope to stay in touch and add to the list of successes. Would appreciate all the suggestions you can give.... I do know that drinking water makes a big difference. The more water (not other fluids), you drink, the more you lose. I am going to try to drink 10-12 8 oz glasses a day, though I hate doing it.....Maybe dry mouth will be a helpful side effect if it forces me to drink water.

I have been on Phenermine about 2 months. Last Thursday I laid out in the sun for about
15-20 mins. I started breaking out with a rash on Friday and it still seems to be spreading down my arms and legs. It started on the top of my chest and shoulders like I had a reaction to the sun. It is red, bumpy and itchy. I am not sure if it is fom the sun or the pills or the combination of the 2. Just curious if anyone knows if this is some kind of side effect?

Well I went to see my doc. on friday for monthly check-up and also to tell him about the rash that I have. Well the rash was so annoying that I went out and bought some caladryl 3 days before my visit and of course they went away. Now they are back again today and stronger than ever, I have a call into my doctor I really hope that they are not from the phentermine, I am going to back what I ate and what I did today and see if there was something out of the ordinary. If anyone elese is having this problem please let me know and also let me know what you did to solve it Thanks in advance.

Cindy,
I cannot believe that everyone else on this page is so concerned with their weightloss that no one has bothered to answer your very serious question. I hope that you are checking back, I wish that I had read your question earlier. The same thing happened to me. I was taking too much. Cut your dosage in half. YOUR BODY CANNOT TAKE THE AMOUNT YOU ARE TAKING NOW. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS. I WAS VERY SCARED TOO! When you cut them in half you should notice a difference. If they are capsules put a little piece of bread in the end to make swallowing easier. Good Luck!

Shelly,

I answered Cindy back in another post the same day she asked her question. Haven't heard back from her.
