Pee stream strength

[dan-termine]

Since taking phen I have noticed that the strength of my urine stream has diminished considerably. I pee for longer amounts of time than I have ever in my life.

Hello Dan-termine! This is a really great point. One in fact that I've wondered about, but I have never seen a thread on it. I would recommend posting it as a thread on the main board. You don't necessariy have to do the poll, but just ask if anyone else has noticed.

Welcome to the boards!

You know Dantermine, I voted yes because it seems like I could pee for like 10 minutes sometimes even if its just trickling. However, by 10:30 a.m., I have already gone to the bathroom 4 or 5 times sometimes.

In any event, in our house, we love to imitate Austin Powers when we pee. So, maybe the phen "enhances" my pee power!

Hey Choco!

[proud 2 be from the south]

I notice this too but i think its because i now try to drink 100 oz of water instead of diet coke !!

[Staceyrella]

I have this problem and I was told it's a sign of dehydration! I am not for sure though.

[jayme]

Yes Dan, I seem to have very light pee times, but more of them. or even a couple at a time, like I thought I was done, but then I wasn't. Or I would pee and then get in the shower and have to jump right back out.

Isn't this great? talking about my pee schedule with other people! lolol

[Lester011]

I wish I had light pees. I have go pee like every 30mins, and when I do its like Niagra Falls. I have to control the flow because the bathroom at work is near the door where the guys come in and out of.

[MarchGoal]

I have not had normal pee-ing since I started phen. It trickles and I have the urge to go as soon as I'm out of the bathroom. I hadn't have "normal" stream until I was off phen for 5 days. But, it's worth it for the weight loss. Really. Annoying, but worth it.

COOL! I didn't know there was a thread about PEE! How did I miss this one? HAHAHAHAHA Funny story.... Has anyone ever sneezed while they pee? After having kids have you noticed it's hard to pee on a PT stick or in a dr's cup?

I also heard cpizzle pee's his pant's when he reads funny threads. Not my place to type that, but I'm just saying.......
For Rizzle Cpizzle!

Oh yeah, my steam is a lot more on phen. It' seems to have a diuretic effect to me. Don't know any scientific proof though.. I would think a weak stream means you need more water.

[taccuddles]

OK I'm back I actually had to go and.....My stream is the same but it does last longer.

[i82much]

Any one else checked their pee today? Anyone take B vitamins? They make my pee neon colors. It's embarassing when you go to the dr and provide a "sample". You got to walk around w/ a cup of your own juice it done looks like you been hit w/ some sort of weird radiation or something. Yeah my pee looks like radioactve liquid.. Kinda cool now that I think about it. Matter of fact...brb gotta um...powder my nose. If you're lucky i'll tell you the color of it this time.... (hehehe i'm so gross!)

[i82much]

I can't believe i'm the only one fasinated w/ pee..... Then again yes I can believe it...

[sunnkiss]

Me too pee so many times ..and sometimes like Niagra Falla...lol...don't need a direuc forsizzle ...I82 ...almost made me ...laghed so hard...

[alykat06]

haha, my pee is different colors with diurex, or the uti pills lol. I pee a lot because I drink at least 4 liters or almost a gallon of water a day...what would you expect :P I used to have that long refreshing pee in the morning that took forever, now thts 2 times an hour ...

[Lookin2Lose08]

I've noticed since starting the phen, that I pee more often, but much less... its like I can't empty my bladder, but I know its in there!!!

[i82much]

Me too pee so many times ..and sometimes like Niagra Falla...lol...don't need a direuc forsizzle ...I82 ...almost made me ...laghed so hard...

LOL! So did you wet your pants? I'm glad someone else other than me has a fascination w/ urine!

[RickG]

lol...i told me Dr last week when i go into a public restroom sometimes 2 or 3 others come and go and im still standing there...gets embarasing

[No2Cookies]

I am with Lester011...Niagra Falls seems accurate for me, lol.

[Momof3_grandma3]

Well I go more because I am drinking more liquids, but the stream is weaker and it seems I have to 'push" a little to empty my bladder all the way. I use to have great bladder control even when pregnant, could hold it forever and could go hard and fast. (ok that is gross, but true) I hope my bladder function returns to normal when I am done with Phen.

[slimmersuzi]

I was doing fine before phen. But these symptoms people are describing, especially the feeling like we have to go and it's only a trickle, is what I feel when my intersticial cycstitis flares up. I've struggled with it for years. It's a fancy way of saying our bladders are retaining urine. It can get super bad and irritate the bladder. I had infections so long that I had 3 quarts of urine I could not get out and had to be catheterized for 2 months. It can be very serious.

BUT, I've learned drinking more fixes it. Only since I started Phen I'm drinking twice what I normally drink and still having this problem. So I'll have to drink even more I guess.

[luvinmybabies]

so weird you mentioned that slimmersuzi... I've posted to you before about the IC...
I've noticed that since taking phen, I've constantly got that "oh, no...I'm starting a flare-up" sensation. I was wondering if it was Phen related...guess so. I hate it. You would think that all this drinking would flush the bladder, but maybe we're over-working it??? Just a thought.
What do you do when you feel the pain starting???

[slimmersuzi]

Well normally I up my water intake and take 2000 miligrams of vitamin c every hour or two until I feel better. The vitamin c helps in an amazing way. But as you say, I'm not sure what to think about the effects of Phen on this. So far today I have drank right about 60 ounces of water. That's huge for me. I know it's not that much compared to others.

lol...same here the pee is in there but the stream is lite and slow.....btw...does anyone have planed meals for the week...i am fed up of grilled chickand veggies anu suggestions?

[Momof3_grandma3]

I also have the same issue really have to go ...then well some.......same feeling I get if I happen to be on pain meds...which relax your bladder....oh well, I will take that over the damn headaches I use to get...those were killer.........

[enburgner]

Hi This is my first post. I started phen 2 weeks ago and my stream is definitely slower and weaker...didn't relate it to the med till I read this! I took phen last year for 3 months and lost weight, started exercising, etc. Still have more I want to lose so here we go again! How do I start my own question, though? I saw an old post from 2004 about phen causing acne for someone. It makes me break out Anyone else?

[samiidel2]

Question that i need help with. Smells are different strong chemical smell. Starting to taste it also. Taking 105mg each day. Thought i had a fire in my house cause the smells was so strong.

Has any one had this side effect? Getting stronger. I heard it is detox. But that seems strange to me.

Been on it for one month and have lost 6lbs. First time on any weight lose pill.

[i82much]

This thread still cracks me up!!!! I so need a life. I've been hanging out w/ preschoolers WAY too much! heheheheh OK now I gotta go roll on the floor to laugh (ROFL) heheheehh

[whyme]

I wish my urine would slow down. I constantly have to go to the bathroom.

[tmreese]

I would say mine is like the nigra falls too. I am in my bathroom so much that I think I am going to paint it a different color.

[sunshinegrlsmom]

I go 2 or 3 times an hour! I keep joking that I am going to move my desk in there!

I suppose if I was not already at 135 oz of water at 2:30 in the afternoon it wouldn't be so bad!

[rekaterac]

Since taking phen I have noticed that the strength of my urine stream has diminished considerably. I pee for longer amounts of time than I have ever in my life.

I am a guy and I am assuming dan-termine is a guy and will respond as such. I know this is an old thread but it has recent activity so I am hopeful.
I have been on phen for about 1 month and its working well. I have definitely noticed the change in urination. What was once effortless is now difficult. Before it was like pouring water out a glass but now is like wringing water out of a towel. Someone mentioned the sensation of not being finished, many times I walk a few steps away from the toilet only to rush back to "finish" squeeze out a small amount. Sorry Ladies but this one is for the males only: and many times the "finish" is about a tablespoon of what I can only describe as semen. I know, you can insert the jokes here but I am truly concerned. I will see my doctor again in about 2 weeks and see what she says but I was wondering if this is a problem with any other guys taking this and if maybe they have come up with a solution. My water intake is around 80 oz a day so I don't think dehydration is the cause. If this is just a nuisance side effect, fine, I can live with that. I just don't want to be causing damage.
I am not looking for a diagnosis, just looking to see if this is symptom is common or just unique to me.
Thanks

[jkincolorado]

I have totally noticed this!! Doesn't bother me too much, but it is strange

[Bezingue21]

Hello Everyone-

Today is my 1st day on Phen. I have been urinated about every 20 minutes all day long .
I have had about 96oz of water so far. Its 7pm here so I still have a couple hours of water intake left.
I am peeing hard & fast... and very very often. I am not use to so much water though.
The only issue so far is a couple times today I would stop urinating, wipe, an have to move super fast cuz I would start going again without even feeling it. So Weird. Oh well whatever it takes to get all this weight off!!!!

A perceived or observed decrease in the strength or flow of one's urine stream is a common complaint. This is often of concern to the patient because of the concern about both a serious medical problem and the slowing of urination and associated dribbling or incomplete emptying that accompanies the decreased stream intensity. Benign prostatic hypertrophy is by far the most common etiology of this complaint, and it is often accompanied by nocturia, urgency, frequency, dribbling, and incomplete emptying.
