I'm on my second day of phentermine 30mg

Hello all, I'm on my second day of phentermine 30 mg and don't feel so great. My head hurts (probably from not eating as much and cutting back on the caffeine). I feel jittery and can't concentrate on my work that well, heart is beating faster. I know these are pretty common side effects but does anyone else just not feel very good when you take them? I definitely don't feel energetic. I just want to take these pills for 1 month and see how i do. I'm looking forward to losing weight and hope i have good results.

Yeah, they are side effects but your body will adjust to them. Make sure you drink plenty of water because I notice if I dont drink my water I will get a headache. I couldn't give up my caffeine, I cut down but couldn't give it up. I dont drink soda or icetea but I need my 2 cups of coffee in the morning, without that I do get a major headache. I like my 37.5 phentermines because I can break them in half, you cant do that with the 30mg. Anyway, hope things get better for you. Let us know how you do. We will try to help you along.

I agree that if you don't drink enough water you will get a headache and feel crappy.
However, the jitters, rapid heartbeat, and no energy might indicate something you should watch for VERY closely.
I never heard of anyone who didn't get at least a little bit of increase on energy level.
Make sure to pay attention to what your body is doing and trying to tell you if it gets really bad, see a doctor or go to the ER.

Debjean, just checking to see how your feeling today? You getting the same side effects? Check in with us please.

Thanks for the replies. I'm feeling pretty good. The headache was what made me feel so crappy and not eating as much as i used to. Not to mention i have sinus problems so it's just a little of everything. I do feel kinda jittery but not bad enough to say it's a problem. I have another question though, is it bad to take a phentermine one day and then maybe skip a day or do i need to take one every single day??

I'm glad your feeling better. Definately, you can skip a day if you want. If you can skip and stay in control, that great. If you have any other questions we are here for ya.

Happy Losing!
