Itching - Phentermine.com

I started taking Phen on 4/7 and so far am seeing good results. Although on Saturday evening (4/19) I started itching terribly all over my body. I took the Phen again on Sunday (4/20) and the itching continued. It's unbearable. I decided this morning (4/21) not to take it for a couple days and see if the itching stops. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced these side effects from Phen.?.?

That is one side effect I haven't heard about. Hopefully you aren't allergic to Phen. I bet it was caused by something different. Have you started on any other kind of supplements or eaten anything new? I wish you good luck and I'll keep my fingers crossed that it isn't the Phen.

I've been experiencing a very similar itching problem. I'm on my 2nd day of not taking the phenetermine, but I'm still itching. Did yours stop? Was it because of the phentermine? I really want to take it so I hope this is a reaction to something else.

That's ONE side effect I never heard before and I thought I had THEM ALL! I'm not sure...

I found this website because I googled side effects. I have been itching sooooo bad!!!
I was glad to see that I am not the only one. It is really bad after I get out of the shower. I know that sounds weird but who knows?

first rule out any allergic reactions....but sounds like it may be a dehydration problem. when you get dehydrated your skin suffers too. not enough fluids can cause dry skin... dry skin=itching. lack of certain vitamins may also contribute to dry skin. so try taking a good multivitamin. phen has a tendency to cause dehydration and since you dont eat as much, you dont get enough of the vitamins your body needs. i know everyone on here is always saying drink more water and take your vitamins... this might just be another reason.

I have this too, but in reaction to my Topamax and the Phen makes it worse, go figure. Not sure about the dehydration, I pound the water religiously!

I took claritin and then benadryl at night to help. I have notoriously sensitive to meds. It went away.
