Unusual side effect - Phentermine.com

lucothea · January 20th, 2008, 01:49 AM

I've just started Phen (15 mg/day) and for the 2 days I've taken it, my muscles hurt. It feels like they are tight all the time and when I exert any energy, it feels like I've just finished a marathon work out. Anyone else have this effect?

Nope, I have been on it for 5wks. I only have 1 kidney and my GP said it was still safe for me.

I found my shoulders creeping up to my ears! ANd my neck is also tight. But working out makes me feel way better!

My doctor chose the 15mg because I am on Wellbutrin XL 300mg and wanted to play it safe. Other than sore muscles, I've only had a little heartburn. My husband said it might have to do with the energy burst side-effect but I haven't had any ... I also haven't gotten the shakes, or heart palpitations, etc. I'm NOT complaining but I am afraid that it might not be working the way it should.

I haven't had that ... but I will share a few that I've had so you will have a little heads up if they happen to you.

My teeth hurt - that has passed.
My tongue feels weird, I can't really explain it ... that has not passed, but lessened.
I have a freaky tingling in my right ear - at 1st I thought an ear infection was coming on. I still have that happen occassionaly.

Unfortunately I have not experienced any energy surge.

Good luck - hopefully that muscle soreness will pass soon.

Are you working out? Doing extra activities that you were not doing before you started Phen?

Lucothea, one of the listed side effects for phen are inflammation of joints, so maybe that is why you feel sore...you should talk to your doctor about it.
