Hi all,

I used to take Phentermine a couple of years ago and lost 40 lbs with diet & exercise as well. Once I gained back 20 lbs (after a year of keeping it off) I started taking Phentermine again but stopped because I was becoming depressed and had headaches all the time! Now that I totally gained those 40 lbs plus another 15! I decided to give the pill a chance again. Today is my first day and sure enough I have a headache and feel very lethargic. It doesnt help that I am super bored at work but...anyway, I want the great results but I dont want to feel like this all the time.

Is anyone else going through this and how can I make my tension headaches stop!!! I am about to take some Tylenol

im feeling exactly the same was as you are. the spacey out of it, like you just sit and stare into space, im getting the horrible headaches. and the worst is the depression. if i coudl find something to combat this depression i would be ok. if anybody tells you anything to help please let me know.

Has anybody thought about combining Phentermine with an antidepressant? I have read that it is helpful for some people. Talk to your doctor for advice addressing this side-effect.

Hi, girl. Don't know if you saw my other post, but I had all your same side effects. My doctor said it was my blood pressure getting too high and sure enough it was when I checked it. I don't mean to be dramatic, but I really felt like I was going crazy. Right now I am experimenting with different dosage amounts. I highly recommend checking your blood pressure. That's something you can't mess around with.

you know i never thought about it being bp related! wow! i changed my dosage to half in the morning and half at night, and poof no depression. well its only day 2 of doing this, but i feel much better. im not lethargic either. i am still sleepy though. the sleepiness hits at night like 8 or 9 pm. and im a singer, so i have been trying to get my ass out to practice fo the semifinals im in for this karaoke contest. the dry mouth is the worst, i have to take cough drops and drink alot of water when i sing if i want to hit my notes.

Hi, I am so glad you're feeling better. I have actually cut back to a half pill and its great. I get the appetite control without the bad side effects. And my blood pressure is ok.

It was a long time ago, but half was just as effective for me, too.
