Hello everyone, new here.
Been lurking a few days, reading people's experiences.
I thought I would post my first experience with this med.
Wednesday the 2nd, was my first day on Phen and I am completely wired. It is now 10:30am Thursday, never went to bed.I so sympathize with Squish T. Cat. I pulled this quote from the Phentermine testimonials thread.
Quote:
But the worst thing was that I found my jaw clenching and tightening to the point where I'd be in true pain by the end of the day.
I'm not aware when I clench my jaw, until it's sore. I think it's my body not knowing what to do with the chemical surge. Strange....I can also see my blood pulsating inside my eyelids when they're closed. Anyway, I know that 37.5mg is way too strong for me. Don't like the way this feels. But, on brighter side, absolutely no appetite. Food is about as interesting as the dirt on the carpet.
Will skip a day and start with half a tablet on Friday. I am hopeful that the med will help me kickstart a healthy eating pattern and allow me to break the bad habits I've developed.

I also wanted to mention, that I am one of those folks on fluoxetine, or generic Prozac. 10mg. The fluoxetine has remarkably reduced my cravings for carbs. So it will be interesting to see how this combined with Phen will effect my weight loss. I do understand the risks of Phen/fluoxetine and I am under a Doctors supervision. I think, staying aware of my state, and being in touch with my Doc will keep me safe on this journey.
This is the main reason I wanted to post, as a means to moniter the effects and changes, physical and mental while on this journey. And if it can inform and help others, even better.
Will keep checking in on other's progress, stories and continue to post my experience with this combo.
