Hello everyone . I'm new here and I just had a few questions. About my 4th day on Phentermine. Sometimes my stomach hurts and I just feel like laying down. Antone ever had that before? Also does everyone eat three meals a day? I have to force myself to eat. I'm never hungry. I was on this medicine a while back but can't really remember how I felt then. Oh and when I was on it a while back my hair would fall out in chunks! Is that normal? Oh and sometimes I can't sleep. I'm up all night. Thanks everyone.

I'm also not hungry taking phen. I do know that you NEED to eat though. I took phen/fen about 12 years ago and had to force myself to eat 1 lean cuisine a day. Over the course of a few months I lost a lot of weight but my body ate so much of my muscle. I don't want to do that again so I make sure I eat 3 meals a day. Even if it's something small......make sure you eat. As far as your hair falling out, personally I would see my dr. I don't know if that's a "normal' thing or not but it sure doesn't sound like it! Good luck!

Some hair loss is normal, but not in chunks. Definitely check with your doctor about that. You MUST eat. Without fuel, you are going to feel like crap and have a harder time losing weight.
Make sure you take it early enough in the day and drink plenty of water to move it through your system so you can sleep at night. Making sure you are expending enough energy during the day will also help. Some people take 5-htp (herbal supplement) to help them sleep.
There is a post on the My Experience with Phentermine board titled, "Newbies, Please Read" that will gives you tons of helpful info.
