Well its me again! I LOVE THE WAY THE SCALES ARE LOOKING!!! However, yesterday i was soooo sick.. I was nauseus, weak, and i felt like i had the flu! I know it was the Phen.. So i told my hubby that i was not gonna take it anymore cause it was makin me feel icky! But, the scale is moving and i really want to take it.. Maybe i will try every other day??? I have read on here that other people have had those same symptoms and they would take a little break. I am also thinking about calling my doctor and see if he will give me an rx for the pills that i could break in half instead of the time released ones??? what do you guys think about that?? any suggestions?? Also, i dont want to say that i am having chest pain cause its not really pain but i just feel kinda tight?? does that make sense? Has anyone had that problem before???

Thanks so much for your help and support

Jenna, If you are having a feeling of "tightness" in your chest area, it is NOT a side effect. It is considered a reaction and you need to STOP taking the phentermine, now. Please see your Family Doc for a physical. If this tightness should become difficulty breathing or actual pain, PLEASE go to the Emergency Room immediately.

Janna, welcome. That is horrible what is happening to you but Like Top Dawg said, you really need to see a doc before you even think about taking another pill. hope that you feel better soon and who knows maybe it is just a chest cold that is making your chest tight but better to be safe than sorry. Let us know how you are doing.:o

Hi, Janna. How did this problem turn out? What did your doctor say? I do hope you are all over it and settled back into a healthy pattern of eating.

Please post and let us know!

Well.... i spent two days in the hospital! I just got home. I guess i was having a serious reaction to the Phen so i am no longer going to be able to take it! :( Thanks for all of your support and good luck to all of you.

Janna, I'm sorry to hear you spent time in the hospital. I'm glad that you sought medical attention and I hope you are feeling better soon.

Janna, I hope you're ok. Sorry to hear you were put in the hospital. I hope you stay here in the forum, you can stay here and get encouraging words from all of us. You can lose the weight without the phen. Good Luck.

Janna! :eek: I am so grateful you are okay! You were so smart to get medical help. How I wish we had all known better and advised you better when you first started the phentermine!:o You DID tell us of the nausea, chills, tight chest....I am glad Top-Dawg, Thininside and your husband were all watching out for you.
Please, pretty please, stay with us. This board is not only for those on phentermine. We need you here!
