Do you take your pill once a day? and when do you take it? You might need to take it earlier in the day. I'm on the 15mg pill twice a day. Mine is a lower dose so I still get hungry in the middle of the day. After I take the phen I'm not hungry as much, so I get fuller faster than I used to and I can stop eating a lot sooner. I haven't experienced any sleeplessness. If I do take a nap in the afternoon I stay up later than I would like to but I'm usually able to fall asleep after reading. Try reading or a low impact workout. After I workout I get sleepy. Get your body temp up so your sweating and then cool down. The temp change from hot to cold makes people sleepy, or take a hot bath or shower and step into a cool (not too cool) room when your done. Even though you are not hungry you should still be eating small meals or snacks about every 2 - 3 hours. Your body needs the nutrients and it will get your metabolism going. If your body isn't getting enough calories in the day it will go into starvation mode and will hold on to the fat and you won't lose anything. Also your body will burn the muscle and not the fat, we don't want that. It should be burn the fat and build up the muscle.

Here's what I've been eating:
Breakfast: 1-2 cups special k cereal and fat free yogurt
lunch: lean cuisine or weight watchers frozen food, or a sandwhich, or a salad with broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, and chicken. Fruit , 100 calorie cookies
dinner: frozen food, or salad, or half chicken and half a sweet potato (this has been really good with I can't believe it's not butter and cinnamon), fruit. Once a week I get a half sandwhich and frozen yogurt with peanut butter cup toppings as a treat.

Mix it up. Check the food labels. I do the three gram rule. For every 100 calories there's 3 grams of fat. Those new nabisco 100 calories snacks follow the 3 gram rule: Oreo Cookies, Chips Ahoy Cookies, Wheat Thins, Cheeze its, and Fruit Snacks. They're really good. I keep these in my locker at work so I don't buy from the vending machine, it's been helpful. If you try these tips and others from other people maybe you need to have your dose lowered and then take the higher one. I hope this helps.
