Tunnel Effect

**oklahomawildcat** · August 16th, 2008, 02:40 PM

Hi all. I've been on 37.5mg Phen for a little over a week now. I've had some of the normal side-effects (insomnia, dry mouth, sweating, & being cold all the time). Most of these are gone now or so insignificant, I don't let them bother me. But, for the last 3 days I have felt that I'm living in a tunnel & have been dizzy. Most noticeably it's in my right ear, almost feels clogged up.

I've checked my blood pressure & it's actually better than what it is normally. I also keep a diary of everything I eat & the nutrients in my foods, so I don't show I'm lacking in anything.

I was wondering if anyone else was having this kind of problem or has heard of it or should I just chalk it up to sinus/allergy/inner ear problem? Either or, I'll be calling my doctor about it if it's not cleared up by Monday. This is aggravating.

Thanks for everyone's input!

I had the clogged up ear syndrome while on phendimetrazine. wasn't really an ear infection, just felt clogged...would pop sometimes.....then i started hearing my own pulse in my ear which really scared me.....luckily these symptoms disappeared eventually. I'm not sure if these things were related to phen but I feel like they could have been since others said they suffered the same things.

Ok, thanks for getting back. Guess I'll just keep an eye on things & see what happens. It really has me really discombobulated & out of sorts, like everything is off by a second or two.

Like several others I have taken 37.5 Phentermine one pill a day for three months now. These were prescribed by my Dr. and he required a check up every 30 days. About one month in I noticed that my right eye was dry and blurred. I read up and apparently this is a side effect. I never noticed but my right eye was dilated and left eye was normal. My son noticed it and it scared the heck out of me. I went to the E.R. and they could not find anything wrong. I went to my eye Dr. and he said everything looked normal and that he was 99% sure this was a reaction of the Phentermine. My inner eyes looked good no tumors and i felt fine. Been off Phen for a week and one eye is still dilated. Looks like i'm blinking all the time...lol. friend says hey blinkin what you doing? I say did you just call me Abe Lincoln? No i said a blinkin...LOL. Anyway Dr. said give it 10 days and if it has not reset to come see him again.

Anyone else have this happen?
