Taking a short break from phen? - Phentermine.com

jules66 · May 3rd, 2008, 02:37 AM

I am in my 7th week of phen and my weight loss has slowed down. Any advise? Does taking a couple of days off help and how do you feel during those days?
I'm worried I'll go off a couple of days and be starving and grumpy. I'm sure it's different for everyone. Any advise would help.
Thanks

The beauty of taking a break from phen while you still have some left is that you can always go right back on if you find that your eating is out of control, you are too grumpy, or you are too tired.
Looking at your current weight and your goal weight, you may want ot go ahead and take a break to check to see if you have formed the good habits you need to keep the weight off. I know it's scary, but you can do this! You will have to stop some time, so a trial run may be the best way to go at this point.

i got my prescription in Feb, maybe the 11th?, anyways i got a 3 mo prescirption, thats all the longer my doc will give the med, anyways, i stillhave a month of ti left, because after a month, i thought i felt used to the meds,, and i also had some panicy feelings. now i take about every other day, or like 1/2 a day. i am using it very irregulaly, not sure if thats the best thing, but i feel better doing it this way. i am now down to a weight, that i am comfortable with, not my goal weight,but a weight i dont feel depressed about-so im in no hurry anymore, and feel my eating habits Have changed alot and have been able to keep losing, more slowly, but thats ok for me.
