yesterday was my first day on phentermine and i was very nervous to say the least about horrible nausea and a very nervous and jittery feeling that stayed with me most of the day. i am happy to say that today is much better. i decided that the best way to go for me is to cut my 37.5mg tab in half and take it at 7:00am and then to take the other half around 1:00 this afternoon. i believe this is going to work well for me because i have no nausea this morning and i also do not have the jittery feelings that nearly crippled me yesterday. oh yea i also made sure that i ate a healthy breakfast this morning and yesterday i did not. :grin:

I HOPE THIS MIGHT HELP OTHER PEOPLE THAT MAY HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WILL LET YOU KNOW TOMMOROW IF I HAVE ANY TROUBLE SLEEPING TONIGHT AFTER TAKING THE SECOND HALF IN THE AFTERNOON.(I HOPE NOT)

Glad you figured something out that looks like it will work for you. What you did is exactly what I have done since starting Phentermine 2 weeks ago today. Except I actually take my second half before lunchtime. I also eat a balanced diet - basically the Zone - 3 300-400 calorie meals and 2 100 calorie snacks each day with nothing after 7pm. I've had no problems sleeping - (aside from having a 7 months old that wakes alot at night still ) and am happy with the results so far. I've lost 9.5 pounds.

thanks for your reply. at least i know i am not the only one that has had to figure out a way to take phentermine so that the side effects are not so bad. you said you take your 2nd half before lunch and i was just wondering what time do you take your morning dose and then about what time is lunch for you. my concern is that i do not want to take the doses to close together and experience the same side effects that i found to be almost unbearable.

I actually have never taken a full pill at one time, so I don't know how I'd react. I have a friend who does the 1/2 now-1/2 later dosing and I decided to just start with that when I started. I was worried it wouldn't work for me though, since I have alot of weight to lose (didn't know if it would be strong enough given my weight) and she takes Phentermine sort of as a maintenance thing every now and then to lose 5 pounds when she needs to.

Anyways, I take the first dose between 6:30 - 8:00 AM. It depends on when my babies get up. :-D Then I take the second dose at around noon. I do get hungry in the later evenings - like after 9 - but I can usually handle it. Maybe if I took the second half 2 hours after lunch it'd last all evening. But then I'm afraid of it messing up my nighttime sleep. As it is, naps are out of the question now. I used to nap when both of my children would...but now I'm too wide awake.
