[40andmomof2]

Started Phen 10/29/07, the first 10 lbs. seem to come off pretty fast and I was into really drinking my water, watching sodium and sugar, low sodium and sugar per my doctor. It immediately helped w/any chocolate and other cravings too.
I felt better and then...............STUCK....********
12/30/07 still at same weight for the last 2-3 weeks. Total lost was 17-18 lbs., but gained a few pounds back( still taking Phen-how do you gain??) over the last week or so, b/c I have NOT been watching what I eat as much.

Also, yesterday, I had a migraine, which I have not had in years, started as a cluster in my left eye, and was in bed all night! I did have FULL caffeine coffee at 11am yesterday but headache not until 4pm, this would not affect me??( I have tried to stay away from caff. since starting Phen)

I have another friend been on Phen for years, she really never has to watch what she eats! NOT FAIR!!

I spoke w/DR. last week by phone, when he resubmitted my 3 month refill and told him I feel like I am at a plateau, he said he wants me to stay on 30mg.,and see him in Feb.

I feel like I am not having the SAME energy and motivation as when I 1st started and am MAD at myself for feeling down, it has only been 2 months. DUH, am I expecting it to be the miracle drug....NO! The weather here has been a bit DRAB too, not feeling like walking much.

HELP!! Anyone else ever go through this or is going through it.
I can't even get down to 180 yet,YIKES!!
