I rencently started taking Phentermine Tuesday June 27, 2006 and so far i have lost 10 pounds in 6 days. My problem is that I am so moody and grumppy when I take it. I nearly bite my fiances head off for not buying me lunch when he bought his. I am so sad and not myself when I'm on it. I also have plenty of energy in the morning about 7:45 after I take it but around 12:00pm I have no energy and can barely do anything at work in addition to being in the worst mood all the time. Any advice? or related effects?

Hi Mrslove,
I recently started on Phentermine too...I started Friday, June 30th. However, I am not experiencing ANY of the side effects that you stated in your post. I don't seem to be grumpy or moody (that I can tell!), but I DO have the BAD cotton mouth (so I am drinking water allllll the time!). Are you eating enough during the day? Cuz I was just thinking, if you're not eating enough & you are really hungry (but just refusing to eat), you may be grumpy cuz of this...??
Other than that, I don't have any ideas why you are experiencing this side effect, sorry! Hope I could help!

I never had the mood problems myself, but I've heard other's on here talk about it before. I think it's a side effect of the PHentermine. I honestly don't know anything about that part. I'm sorry I can't help w/ it.
However, the reason you are getting so tired in the afternoon, is because you aren't eating right. I know this for a fact, because I DID have that problem. More than likely you just aren't eating enough of the right things. Try eating about an hour after you take the Phentermine. And, have some type of protein w/ EVERY meal. You're body has to have enough calories through out the day to have energy to go on. I would say you probably just aren't getting enough calories in, and not eating enough protiens. Also, 4-5 mini meals a day is a helpful as well. This helps to speed up your metabolism too. Try this and see if it helps any. And keep me posted. Hopefully someone who has the mood problems will post for you also.
Good Luck and Congrats on the weight lost so far
