Gross side effect? Maybe TMI - Phentermine.com

jillashley6 · March 2nd, 2009, 06:02 PM

Has anyone experienced hemorrhoids while on Phen? I started Phen 2 1/2 weeks ago, and got one all of a sudden. I have had them a few times before in my life, but never ever this bad. I am in a ton of pain, but am not sure what to do...any suggestions?

I am a little afraid to call my dr, as I dont want her to take me off the Phen....if I had to choose between my butt hurting and being skinny, I would definately choose being skinny

haha

Sorry if its tmi!

I've never had that problem..

Preperation H might help with the pain from them though.. and you can try soaking in epsom salt bath.

Lots of times "roids" just happen! It happens more often to overweight people..I think. So maybe it's not at all related to Phen. Try the Prep H it works well!

I actually started taking phen a month ago, and I have noticed hemorrhoids as well. I thought maybe it was just something with me, but now that you said that, I'm wondering if it is a side effect.

I have noticed it too, but I have had a past with them as well. Sometimes changes in our bodies, stress, and one of the worst side effects with phen constipation, causes them. I agree that soaking them in a bath and using some of the many medications out there help a lot. If they get worse or not any better I would talk to your doctor, they can get really painful and I dont think your doctor would take you off of phen but try and figure out how to get rid of the rhoids.
