Side effect QUESTIONS>>PLEASE HELP - Phentermine.com

asleepinflowers · February 17th, 2008, 09:02 PM

So Tuesday will be my 2nd week on phentermine, and while ive lost quite a bit of weight (14 pounds) I'm still having a couple side effects. I'm on edge and moody, which I expected, and I hve really bad constipation. I took laxitives 2 nites ago, and that helped but i dont wanna depend on that! I'm vegan, so i dont eat dairy, so its not cuz of too much dairy, and i dont eat anything white or fried. (no white sugr, white bread,white potatoes, processed crap). I've pretty much been eating a lot of fruits, veggies, soy, legumes. And making sure i get a lot of fiber. I've even been eating prunes everyday!

oh, nd im on the 30 mg capsules.. I was wondering if maybe taking phentermine every other day instead of everyday would help? or maybe going down to the 15 mg ones?

plese help!

A lot of the other "Phrends" swear by Ballerina Tea or really any tea with Senna in it. There are some dieters teas out there that have been recommended also. They say to just start slow with it and you'll find the right amount of tea that will keep you regular, but not make you knock old ladies over while running to the bathroom.

Good luck to you!!

We do talk about poo alot here, but i guess its part of the whole weight loss isnt it, where else is it gonna get out!!!

anywho, i really strongly suggest just picking up some stool softeners, generic brand and take 1 a day, I had the worst constipation ever, and finally it worked and i have not had a problem since I have been taking the stool softeners, it does sound old womanish, but It works
