Started taking Phen one week ago. The first two days (Friday & Saturday) I really noticed the curbed appetite and increase in alerteness/energy. Then on Sunday I felt pretty crap, on Monday I developed a soar throat and I continued to feel crap on Tuesday and Wednesday which prevented me from exercising - the Phen did not appear to be curbing my appettite or giving me any energy - I was exhausted and sleep soundly each night, but hey may be beacuse I had the soar throat. Anyway by Thursday I regained my health (yippee) and felt heaps better (although have not lost any weight to date!). I took my phen as normal in the morning, however by lunch I was starving ( I had eaten breakfast & morning tea). I had a 6 inch ham sub from subway for lunch, but found myself still hungry an hour later. I decided to take another capsule at 2.00pm. I went to a dance class at 6.30pm, felt great, came home and danced for another hour (till my boyfirend sprung me looking like a spaz in the living room). Hungry, but not starving - just had small dinner and was full. Felll asleep ok around 11pm.

Woke up bright and early this morning at 6am, took my phen at 7.30am and today I can feel the effects like the first day I took it. Felt full after eating a breakfast bar for brekky. Feeling very energetic and postive.

Although I have lost no weight this first week on phen, I think that may be attributable to me being sick, I am looking forward to this next week, have my exercise plan ready to go.

Was wondering if maybe it is possible that the individual capsules may contain different levels of phen, wondering why some days they didn't seem to affect me? Anyway I'll see how I go this week!

Me too. The first week I had a crazy amount of energy - now I'm dragging like crazy in the morning. And even right now I'm pretty draggy, which is unusual for me in the afternoons. I can also definitely still eat - I do not have the 'can't eat anything!' side effects in the least - but I've noticed that my snacking has gone way down and that even if I'm feeling a little hungry from time to time I don't feel crazy about it or deprived or anything.

I think it just affects everyone differently. Ellen
