I'm so bummed this morning! I started taking Phen 4-1-08 (and the doctor knew of my anxiety issues) and last night I had a panic attack. I was doing fine the first few days. I have been under a great amount of stress which could have caused it but do you think it was the Phen? I only take 1/2 a day. Now I'm scared to take my dose today but since I've had such great results so far I'm pretty sad too. Any advice anyone?

I doubt it was the phen if you already have anxiety issues.

you know, i've never had any issues, but after being on phen for 5 days, i had 2 panic attacks, so i'd say you should call your doctor and clear this up with him before taking another pill

Yikes!!!

I hope you ask your doctor before persuing the pills. It may be that you were under too much stress but you NEVER KNOW!!! Take care!

Yes, see your Doctor.

I was on Phen for 6 months and I started with a friend. I ahd taken a number of other diet pills before hand at she had not. Phen had a much stronger effect on her than me. She said she could feel her hair grow. If you can cut into forths, do it. If not, try taking it every other day. Some like to take it much earlier in the morning also. This will help it wear down before night and you should be able to relax.

Also, I don't know how often you work out, but that should help with panic attacks as well. Especially if you work out at night.

Anyway, i wish you the best of luck. I've lost 25lbs and I have never felt better. Godd Luck!

i have severe panic disorder. the same week i started taking zoloft for that and depression i began with phentermine. my panic attacks got worse when i ran out of phen but now that i got a refill its alot better. im concered because my blood pressure was slightly high for the first time in my life and i read that anti depressants mixed with phen can make that worse....so who knows.

as for the panic attacks...i know this sounds weird but try talking yourself through it and allow it to happen. almost challenge yourself to have it. at least thats what a shrink told me to do for them...

I hadn't had anxiety attacks in years, but since taking phen i've had several. What helps me is going to a quiet room, if possible, close my eyes and taking deep breaths. In through your nose; out though your mouth. concentrate on your breathing. Remind yourself it's going to be alright, everything is ok. I'm 28 and have gotten them most of my life. I don't think any harm can come from them.. Take the opportunity to relax. If I get them in wal-mart I go to a quieter aisle; close my eyes and focus on the breathing. I can usually pull myself together enough to finish my shopping. If not I can at least get in enough control to pay for my purchases and get to my truck. Sometimes they occur out of the blue. You may not have a clue what caused it. You'll be ok. I'm sorry you're going through these. I personally know that they are scary. Sometimes even embarrassing. They are quite common, and happen to lots of other people. Best wishes!

What are the symptoms when you have a panic attack?
