Hello everybody, came across this site while doing some research. I started phen 30mg yesterday and i have had a headache since then. I have taken tylenol but no help. Any suggestions. Also i did not get much of the curbed appetite i thought i would and no really added energy. Does it take a couple of days? Any advice or comments? I am so glad i came accross this site, I have not told anyone that i started taking this. I had gastric bypass about 4 years ago and since gained about 40 pounds. There is alot of people waiting for me to fail and so telling them would make it easier for them to bring me down.

Sam, I applaud your efforts to get control after your surgery.
If by any chance you ordered online, please remember that scam artists thrive there because they play weight watcher's emotional needs. It is not legal.

But if you got them from your doctor, assuredly they should help you control some part of your life that contributed to the 40 pound gain. Are you taking them one every other day the first week, in order to start more slowly to prevent headaches?

Please immediately phone your doctor or pharmacist and see how you are supposed to use the medicine to your best advantage while keeping unwanted side effects at bay~

Thanks for your response. Yes, i did get them from my dr, and no he did not tell me to take one every other day. I did notice that today is better, so i will keep an eye on that and see how it goes. Also it is not curbing my appetite like i thought but then again this is the week of my cycle. Does that play a part in it? I guess if i really thought about it, it is curbing my appetite considering any other time of my cycle i would of eaten soooooo much more. I will see after this week how it does for me. Thanks for the advice and support this site offers.
