The bad thing is that any medicine we take will eventually lose effectiveness...and phen is no different. It sounds as if you are still getting some benefits from it, but the longer you are on it, the less these will be.
Some people don't experience the loss of effectiveness for quite some time...my dr has me on for 42 days and off for 30 and when I am getting near the end of the 42 days, I can really tell that I need that 30 day break because it is not working hardly at all, if any. So you may consider going another week or so, and then going off for a time.
Don't be discouraged about 8 lbs, that is great!!! Boosting your exercise program might give your weight loss and energy a boost too. I know that the days that I exercise I feel more energy throughout the day, and feel kind of droopy on the days I don't.
Hope this helps! Let us know how you are doing!
