Hi everyone. I'm going to my dr tomorrow for a check up. Been on phen for a month. The first 2 weeks were amazing. i lost 8 pounds. 3rd week lost 1 and this last week lost 0. :( However the first 2 weeks i was drinking sooo much water. Probably around 6-7 bottles of water. NO pop. the last 2 weeks i have maybe drank one bottle of water & caffiene free diet. Also i noticed the past week that my pupils have been HUGE at night. like almost my entire eye. Also every so often i would get real flushed in the face. I researched it and it said that sign of toxicity are dilation of pupils, flushing, nausea, vomitting, blurred vision. I didn't expierence any of the others. but i became a little worried. I never had a racing heart or anything, but i kinda haven't taken the pill about 4 out of the last 8 days. I was wondering maybe if the whole point of drinking water is to flush the toxins out of your system and maybe me not drinking enough was doing this? or if maybe it is too strong for my system. I am only 21 years old, 5'0 tall and started at 153 now at 145. Also didn't know if i should ask to maybe go down to the 15 mg? because i'm on 30 right now? Are the 15mg safer? Or should i just stop, because i haven't heard anyone on ehre talk about dilated pupils...

it's alot of questions, but i'd appreciate the help!!!!

Hi, Staci. So, today's the day~ Your loss sounds terrific and I am certain your doctor will be pleased. Be SURE to ask about your pupils' sizes. There are so many things that cause that. Are you taking any other medicines? Have you run an interaction-check? If not, ask the nurse to do that while you talk to the doctor today.

Drinking loads of water helps equalize the fluid you retain. Sounds like it would do the opposite, but theoretically, it works just backwards! You are doing very well to drink so much.

Lots of folks say they are helped almost as much by taking the phentermine every other day~ I can't wait to hear what they say to you today~

Staci,

I was wondering where you went. I hadn't seen a post by you since the one from your 3 week weigh-in. My weigh-in for my 3 weeks was this morning, the weight loss will definately slow.

I'm not sure what to tell you about the pupils. How did it go with the doctor?

HI Staci! Not sure on the mg of phen, I think that it is just what doctors want to put you on. I know alot have taken 37.5 with only a minimal amount of weight to lose and me, I have only taken the 15mg with nearly 90lbs to lose.
Just talk to your doctor about your concerns and stay in touch with us.
