Bad Side Effects

**lisadaga** · 09-22-2009, 04:44 AM

Hi All,
I've been on Phentermine 30 for almost 3 months. I've lost 25 pounds and I'm syched! I love this little pill, but... I'm having some of the 'serious' side effects they tell you to tell your Dr. about... I haven't told her. Sometimes I get dizzy, fast heart beat and feel like I'm going to pass out. I'm so afraid to tell her about it because she will obviously take me off the Phentermine and I'm afraid I'll go right back to my old habbits without it! I'm a little scared about these side affects. Am I being completely stupid for not telling her???

you should tell your doctor about how you are feeling maybe it is nothing but that way they can check you out, you know your BP, your heart rate, maybe low sugar becuase of diet remeber it is very important to be under medical control when you are taking any kind of medicine and if you do not tell him how is he going to know how is working on you, I think is better to be off the med....than something worst (i do not even want to say the word). let me tell you that i went to doc on friday and because my blood pressure was litlle bit high (140/80) the nurse did not gave me the pills until not be seen by doctor, he was so bussy so i only gat an app for monday 28, one week without pills, but i am ok with that eventually one day i will be out of them and finally if you do not try without the med how are you really know if is the emd or your habits changes which are working on your loose??? please take care...

Hi, Lisa! Chaq has really got this one down. Call your doctor.

Absolutely.....it could be something very simple, but it could also be something that is dangerous for you!! So be on the safe side, and see the dr.

If you are making efforts to change your habits while on phen, you will be fine if you have to go off for a while. Like chaquira's little signature says...."its all about lifestyle change"

Lisa..from reading this forum i started early on skippin a pill here and there i don't take one on the day im going to the dr. because i get the MIC injection and b-12 shot i feel like thats enough medicine in me for one day ....last week i had to be somewhere at 7am and didn't bring my pills got home at 1pm so i didn't take it that day..

what im trying to say is get your body used to not taking the pill for appetite control..i bet you find you still don't want the "bad" stuff...

Your dr. may just cut back your dosage or 1/2 the pill...pls. tell him or her for your peace of mind...they heard it all and can help..

keep us updated..

I will be glad to do some research on this for you if you would like me to. I will check back in on you.
