I understand you 100%. I did the EXACT same thing you did when you got your Phen - - - got on the net for info. When I went to DR 2wks ago, I wanted Xenical. The DR suggested try taking Phen first. I asked him, "Phen...as in FenPHen?" He said yes but not the Fen (Fenfluromine {spelling:confused

which was taking off the market a couple of years ago. Anyway, following the his advise, I decided to take Phen; by the way I forgot to add he has me taking 1 - 15mg in the am and 1 - 30mg in the pm (before 4pm). I've been monitoring myself very carefully. I haven't experienced any side effects to date. I'm on a mission taking this stuff - - - do what I need to do (proper diet/excercise) and get off Phen ASAP!!! I just posted on "My Experience w/Phen - titled PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO NOTICE. Please read it, it reflects my current feelings about PHen. This is my first time ever taking med to loose weight. I had mixed feeling (and still do to a certain degree) about taking Phen. I hate taking DRUGS because of the side effects and long term stuff too. PHEN DEFINETLY HAS SIDE EFFECTS THAT FREIGHTENS ME - - - AND IM TAKING IT SERIOUSLY. My body is PRECIOUS to me, and like you, I not tring to DIE either, I just need a little help for a brief time. Hope this didn't confuse you anymore than you already are. Good luck w/taking your Phen and I wish you much success and mostly; NO SIDE EFFECTS AND NO HARM TO YOU.
