The first couple of days phen was kinda speedy. Now I feel totally spacey on the stuff. I can barely function at work. I cut back to only one (37.5) a day...one half in the morning and the other half early afternoon. By end of the day I feel yucky. Anybody else experience this?

Hey! Yeah I feel like that every now and then but it's usually if I haven't had much to eat.. how are the shakes going? Lost more weight?

Hi, Girlie. Have you tried them along with other medicines, perhaps, which could cause a different interaction? Do you take anything else like thyroid, stomach anti-acids, or anti-depressant meds?

How about trying 1/2 of 1 pill?

I just started on Phen last Thursday. The first day I took a whole 37.5 mg pill and was shaky and jittery all day. So...the next day, I split the pill in two and took one in the morning and one in the afternoon. That seemed to ease it up some.

Today, I didn't feel much different after taking the pills, so think I will try another whole pill in the morning and see what happens. My weight hasn't really gone done any more than the usual daily fluctuation between 200-203. I weigh myself in the morning after I go potty, since that seems to be the most accurate weigh-time.

As for you feeling "spacy," I don't really have that, but I just feel "not right." I know that probably doesn't make a lot of sense. I just feel different. I'm hoping to lose 50 lbs. but my doc said he won't let me stay on Phen any longer than 3 months. I know losing 50 lbs in 3 months is FAR from safe, so not sure what's going to happen.

i've been on phen 37.5 for 6 days. i feel jittery most of the morning n then i mellow out a lot in the late afternoon. i dont know if i'm feeling spacey but i feel kinda not right - like the lady in the last post said. & my face is kinda breaking out. is that normal or possible??

I hear a lot of people say it breaks out their skin. Personally, it doesn't bother me.

I feel fine the first couple hours after taking a dose but as it wears off that's when I feel "yucky". The end of the day is really bad including muscle aches.

Mommy: Haven't weight myself recently. I'll let you know though.

Susan: If I just take half a pill for the whole day, the appetite suppresent effect wears off after few hours of taking it.

I did feel speedy but not spacey. But, yes, tired and cranky by the end of the day. Muscle aches = maybe you need to eat some potassium like a banana?
