Having to force myself to eat!! - Phentermine.com

tcw904 · May 6th, 2006, 06:39 PM

I am on my 2nd day with the Phen and so far I have had to force myself to eat both days. I even felt like I was going to throw up once today while eating a banana, anyone else have the same problem?

I have been having the same problem and I have been on Phen now for 6 days. I don't think I am eating enough.

I don't think I am either..

i so understand how you feel. this is my first ever taking diet pills and im on day 2 and i have to force myself to eat.I dont think its a good thing but im down 2 pounds within 4 days from the last time i checked.

I started taking this on Saturday, and I've been incredibly tired, unable to sleep, and nauseous. I didn't mind having to force myself to eat, but yesterday I spent about six hours throwing up cabbage and diet sprite (not a good combo on the way up). I finally forced down a Lean Cuisine frozen pizza over the course of an hour. Has anyone who has been on phen a while experienced these symptoms? Are they symptoms that go away after a week or so?

OK, first. Diet Sprite and cabbage are not a good combination on the way up or the way down.

Second. I never had to force myself to eat, but The first week I was able to go the entire day without eating. In fact the first few days were the weekend and I went until 9PM before thinking of food. I was doing lawn work and never even thought of eating.
I never felt nausea, I have never had as much energy as I do either. The tiredness and nausea might be something to talk to your doctor about. The first couple nights I was able to sleep, but I didn't really ever get tired. I had to remind myself that it was late (4AM) and to just go to bed. I have a 1 year old that woke me at 7AM and I was back on track after taking the Phen.
I have dropped close to 30 pounds in 6.5 weeks and haven't changed what I am eating, just that I don't have a need for snacks between my meals.
I found that I actually eat more if I drink caffeine pop instead of caffeine free.

Good Luck with the eating.

Thanks for responding. I actually had a much better day today. I took half a pill and while I was still tired, I haven't thrown up once or broken down and sobbed. Now that I'm not so sick from the pill, I can get a little more perspective and remember that caffeine (even small doses) makes me nauseus, tired, depressed, and unable to sleep, so I should have expected to have a different reaction than is normal.

Oh, and don't go knocking cabbage or diet sprite. I can't imagine ingesting them together, but separately they are a delight.

dan-termine · June 20th, 2006, 04:42 AM

Agreed. Diet Sprite (while not my favorite drink) is OK. Cabbage is good, too. Together I imagine sheets flapping in a warm breeze.

chabuchie · June 20th, 2006, 03:53 PM

Diet Sprite has been my favorite for what seems like ages ( I don't even like regular Sprite). I'm not sure if it's some strange interaction, but now that I'm taking the Phentermine, it doesn't taste good anymore.

That's wierd. However, I have recently noticed that the Diet Cherry Pepsi that I drink tastes different to me. It tastes better. I can taste what seems like twice as much cherry flavor. It's something that I have noticed in the past week, but didn't occur to me until just now. Maybe there is a tastebuds heightening that is a result of the Phen. I know that stuff that I don't really want, or something that I know I don't need usually ends up tasting not as good as it used to. Is Phen getting in our brains and controling us?
