Hello, I started on 30 mg. of the yellow capsules on April 17th. It has been 10 days now, and I just jumped on the scale for the first time since being at the dr.'s office to get my prescription. I lost 10 lbs!

Went from a staggering 270 to 260. I've been walking at least a mile 5 days a week, and going to the gym twice a week for about 30 minutes. I have been limiting my calories to less than a 1000 a day.
My energy level has been up and down. For example, yesterday I took an afternoon nap for a couple of hours, whereas today I was up at 8am and out in the flowerbeds gardening. But I seem to be holding up good during the week.
As for side effects... I believe I've had some weird ones, lol. One thing I noticed: I've been using the bathroom A LOT. Even before I started dieting and taking
phentremine I was a heavy
water drinker. But it seems like since I've been on the drug I'm running to the bathroom more often, and I don't think I've increased my water intake. :/
Another SE is that I went through one crazy, moody, loopy spell. I'm still trying to figure out what happened. I'm usually a fairly calm, easy going person. But last week I had two days where I was completely irrational, spacey, and COULD NOT concentrate to save my life.
I'm a moderator at a fairly large forum and I was banning and handing out infractions on a whim (those poor newbies, I feel guilty now. And I'm usually known as the NICE mod). In real life I was crying, emotional and flew off on my husband several times. To be fair, this is also finals week, and I'm extremely stressed about some upcoming tests.
So I didn't take the medicine for one day. My appetite did not return to me until later that evening, and I felt much better. Went back on it again, have been taking it for the last 3 days and so far I feel ok.
But other than those two things, everything else is good. I don't notice the 10 lbs, to me I look the same, but I'm optimistic, and am holding off on the summer clothes shopping for when I lose just a little more.
