Now what do I do?

**dndallen** · 07-17-2007, 08:04 PM

I researched the Internet on phentramin, I read every one's review, I watched Ian's review and I bought them....three months worth!!!
I hate them!!
I have had a stomach ache for more than two weeks now!!!! I have missed three days of work and I have gained back 5 lbs....how can you gain weight when you can't eat and you have diarrhea so bad you can't get out of bed...go figure? I don't want to scare others away but I don't get it. I thought that I would give it two weeks and I have. I have to constantly remind myself NOT TO EAT, I have not energy (of course I know that phentramin is not suppose to increase energy however I have none, could be to the diarrhea)
Can I get a refund? I bought the three months worth.....Someone let me know.

Still searching for phentermin to order...I think I am going to go to my Doctors...I need to feel normal again!!!

Maybe you are having an allergic reaction. Did you call your doctor?

That sounds dreadful. It obviously doesn't agree with you. It would probably be a good idea to see a doctor at this point about any weight loss pills you should take. How did you lose the initial 23lbs?

I'm sorry to hear you are having such a difficult time but I appreciate your report because I've been wanting to get more info from members and there's just not that much out there. I don't have any suggestions about what to do ( except to STOP taking them) but I'm very interested in knowing what happens from here. I hate it's been such a nightmare. Keep us posted.

Oh my I haven't heard of anyone having such a reaction to them! Maybe it's the Hoodia in them that your body is so opposed to... I dunno. I'm so sorry you're having it so bad!!

Thanks for all of your positive and thoughtful remarks. I am definitely NOT a stranger to Phentermine, I am probably an expert in the sight effects and the results that you can get with taking the medication. I have taken phentermine (adipex, bontril, Inonin, etc.) off and on for the past 12 years. I first took the medication after I had my second child and was at a plateau with loosing the weight. My Doctor at the time put me on Adipex and I was on my way to an addiction....
I got down to 125lbs and I felt and looked GREAT!
I kept taking them off and on for several years. I first started with a Doctor and then I started buying them off the Internet. I would go off of them for months at a time and gain tons of weight back and then I would go back on them and I would then feel 100% better and start to loose the weight. When I was off of the medication I would work really hard to loose the weight or too keep it off but to no avail, I have been on phentrermine for so long that I think my metabolism has no idea how to work on its own. This last time I was off the medication for over a year and I ballooned up to 185 lbs and on my 4'11 frame that is just WAY too FAT!! I wish I could get my metabolism to work without the phentermine, BUT I have not found a way for that to work. I would LOVE not to take the phentermine BUT without taking them I have found that my body does some REALLY Strange things, I KNOW that my body medically is addicted to them, I know that mentally I can go off of them and don't need them HOWEVER my body doesn't have the same opinion. I do have an appointment with my Doctor, I am going to talk to her, hopefully she will see things my way. I don't think that taking the phentermine in lieu of the antidepressants, reflux, bowel, and all the other medications that I need when I am off the phentermine is worse than just taking the phentremin. I tried the Phentramin because I thought that maybe....just maybe I could get away from the phentermin and work with something more "natural"......NOPE not the same.....

Dawn I am so sorry that you are having this problem. Perhaps you should PM Ian and tell him what's going on. He's a great guy and I am sure he will be able to work with you about that 3 month supply you brought.

Medically I am not going to even suggest anything as I am no doctor. I am sure your physician will give you some input and advice of what to do and how to approach this in a safe way. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

Feel better too!
