Are there any side effects, see befoer I started taking Phen I had my regular depo shot. Its been a week since I started taking Phen and for the last three days I've been spotting every morning and been having cramps, I normally don't spot or have a cycle for at least 80 days after taking my shot. Is this normal (the spotting)
OMG i'm down 36 lbs, I started on March 26. It will be Two Months on the 26th........

It's normal for the depo to do that alone without the phen. When I was on depo I sometimes, though not every time, spotted. It's a typical side effect of it no matter how long you've been on it.

Best wishes,

Jen (who got off depo because I felt like I was in menopause at age 30!!!)

I too am on the depo shot, and also have been taking phen for about 2 months. And just last month I started spotting also, which I was very shocked and afraid, as it has never happened to me before and I have been getting the shots since 1997.


Good Luck,

Michelle

I like Michelle I had been on depo for years, I never spotted, in fact the biggest perk for me was no visits from Aunt Flo! but 2 of my friends tried to take it and it was just the opposite for them, one spotted all the time and the other bled for 3 wks straight! Every body is different. I've actually gained about 15 lbs since I stopped taking it, I think because I started having pms again. But in answer to your question... I took phen while on it and it never caused any probs for me.

Depo is HORRIBLE, at least for me at was. I went from 123lbs to 170lbs in a two year span. granted, being in a relationship didnt help the weight gain either, but the shot is definitely 75% to blame. I even stopeed taking it, thinking i would lose some weight and i just shot up another 10 lbs. I wasnt taking it with Phen or anything else either though. I know take Phen and it really isnt doing much for me anymore, the first time i took it (maybe 1 yr ago) I lost only 10lbs. and then nothing. I stopped the cycle and waited a whiile before going back to it and even tried Phendimetrizine and not the best results either. I am at a loss and dont what else to try. I am currently about 160 lbs and would like to get to 130 by summers end. any suggestions to help spped the process?
