I started phentermine one week and four days ago. I have lost nine pounds and felt great initially. Yesterday I had a headache from H...E... double hockey sticks!!!! NOTHING took it away... I also am on the pill and took my last active on Saturday. Usually I would get my lady friend early or Sunday. I haven't gotten it yet...I am guessing all the changes I am feeling are the meds. I also was very short fused and easily had small anxiety attacks with chest pain and felt my blood boiling over things that shouldn't make me upset. I have been reading this site for days and saw some suggestions about altering dose. I am on 37.5 and decided to try half today half an hour before breakfast and half a few hours later. I was originally prescribed it to be taken all at once and just after breakfast by my doctor. Judging from only one day I feel much better. I also upped my water intake to 128 oz a day. I finished that at around 3 this afternoon. The thing I am struggling with most is actually getting calories in to me. I ate a quarter of a bagel with cream cheese... a couple handfuls of shredded carrot and an atkins snack bar. So far today that is it!!!!! It is now 5.03 pm. lol I know it is important for me especially because if I keep going at this rate when I stop the meds in a few months my metabolism will crash. I dunno...just looking for some similar stories and advice maybe???? I do have a general feeling of overall happiness... I of course enjoyed the first few days of "Euphoria" that the meds caused..... but even now that the druggy feeling has passed I am still thrilled and feel "light on my feet". (minus of course the few days of headache and grogginess) oh yes...and like everyone else... I CAN"T SLEEP It's like my body gets tired but my mind goes and goes....
