Hello,, Just need a little help here... I have been taking Phentermine for about 10 days now. I started getting little bumps that either look like chicken pocks or flea bites. I have them on my face, around my neck line and Legs. They look like little bites. Im not sure if its the Med. Or if its from something else.
I really hope that I dont have to stop taking the Phen. Because it seems to be really helping. I also have on other Question??
I notice other people have said that they get leg cramps, I havent been getting that But My knees are really bothering me since I have been taking these. :(

I have lost about 10 pounds so far, I have been walking alot too.. I started out at 159 and today I weigh in at 149 so its really helping me.
I seen that if the meds give you Hives to stop taking them and go to the doctors, But i dont think these look like Hives.. Either did the Pharamcy.
I orderd the pills off of the net,So I really dont want to go to my doctor and tell him that I am taking these.


Please if anyone can geive me some advice That would be great...


Thanks Lori :???:

:grin: Hi, Lori! Boy, I wish I knew. The bumps could be anything but don't sound like a typical phen reaction. Don't be embarrassed to see your doctor or perhaps the nurse can take a quick look if you'd rather not see him. Just tell him you are taking phen and want to stay safe. I am afraid many doctors still think of the dangerous fen-phen combination that was halted several years back when they hear 'phentermine'! :(

:???: The leg cramps could be several things, too. I think first of getting enough potassium every day. Half a banana does it for me and tastes good, too! And you must drink lots of water all day long. I have heard Top-Dawg, resident pharmacist, recommend more than 100 oz. per day.

I sure hope you get the answers you need. I urge you to just be totally upfront with your doctor or another medical professional. PLEASE post and let us know what you found out!

Hi I went thro this also but mine were more like pimples but they started like little hard red bumps. I found that the dose i was taking was now to strong for my body size. I have lost 38 lbs. But still have 10 to go. but I can no longer take the 37.5mg pills. They were to strong and I even have scares around my hair line.

Wow .. Thats what is going on with me to, I stopped taking them for about 4 days and sure enough it went away. But now i started taking them and I seem to be getting them back. I think what I will do is just take a half a pill a day and see how that works. I really dont want to stop taking them. I would really like to know more info if you have any, I bought my Phen on line so I dont have a doctor to get the advice from..

Thanks Lori
