Hi. I just started taking 37.5mg phentermine last Thursday for the first time ever. The first 2 days I felt great I had so much energy and was not hungry at all. Today I have been taking them for 1 week and it is as if I am not taking anything. I am still hungry and don't have any energy. I only lost 1 lb. The only thing I do notice is a pounding headache. I don't want to give up on them just yet. Any words of advice?

Hi there.
I had many of the same issues when I began taking Phentermine two months ago. After asking around, like you are, I realized that I was not taking in enough water. How much H20 are you drinking? In the beginning, I was taking in anywhere from 16 to 32oz, which apparently is not enough. But that was alot for someone who consumed 4+ Diet Cokes per day.
Since I have been drinking more water (approx 48-60oz per day) and I've limited my Diet Coke intake to one or two per week, I have notice that the headaches have diminished.
I've also noticed now that I'm drinking the water, the hunger pangs that I was having in the beginning are not there as ofter.
Don't give up.
Happy losing. :-D
