I hope I am not too graphic, sorry

I have only been taking Phen-D for a few days...I am TOTALLY new to diet pills...

I have noticed:
1. I urinate like CRAZY! I was lucky if I used the bathroom 5 times in a day, now it seems as if I "go" 5 times in just the morning and early afternoon! Is this what the phen-d is supposed to do? Get rid of "water weight"

It also seems as if it is acting as I hear that Alli does. Where it takes the fat from your food right out of your body..
I at some fatty foods the other night (french fries and fried breaded cod) and shortly after I suffered from diarrhea and cramps. It wasn't what I would consider typical diarrhea, it was different. Is phen-d, like a fat blocker and when I eat something fatty, it takes it right out? or am I making things up!?!

Does anyone else experience this 2 things?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

First off - are you drinking a lot of water?? If you are, then that's why you are urinating so much. BUT - it COULD be a side effect the first few days, I dunno ...
About the diarrhea, NO, that is not supposed to be a side effect, so I don't know about that one. And NO, Phen-d is NOT supposed to act like Alli. You might wanna PM Ian & ask him these ?'s. He might have a MUCH better idea ...

I was drinking a TON of water when I was using Phen-D. I only used it a couple weeks and I was peeing all the time. No worries there---

As for the diarrhea...I never expereinced diarrhea while on Phen-D. Are you eating a lot of fiber? Junk food? It could be your body rejecting all the crap you're eating. No, it's not supposed to be like Alli. Alli blocks the fat in your digestive track, and Phen-D works on the brain by making you feel less hungry.

Welcome to the Forum, Kiddo! Our bodies react so uniquely that even 'abnorma'l side-effects can be 'normal' for any of us. Nothing should threaten your health, though; be really careful that diarrhea is not overlooked or neglected.
