I have been sweating like crazy about 2 hours after I take the phentermine. And I am so warm, is anyone else having those problems?

    I do know many people that report this and it is a common side effect. Personally, I get warm and sweat a couple hours after I get up and it has not changed any since I started the phen/top. I think mine has to do with menopause. Sometimes, drinking ice water helps, but I do not know if it would help for you - try it out!

    Are you a coffee drinker? After four weeks of maintaining my normal coffee intake, I switched to decaf, and I think it helped somewhat.
  • I have been having the same side effect. I was a sweater to begin with and this makes me sweat even more! I just told myself that I am sweating the fat out lol!

    I was worried about the sweating, but I only get what I always have had - the warm or hot flash that lasts for an hour! I must say, we went to Laguna Beach for a weekend and stayed right on the water and our room did not have a/c and I was overheated and was kind of sad that I could not even go back to my room and blast the air, because I did not have any...now that I think about it, some of that is probably due to the phentermine.

    I weigh in today....and have not "gone" for 3 days....dang, that will probably affect my loss! I will post an update later!

    when I was on it, there was definite sweating and flushing. my face would be beet red. went away after about 2 weeks I think. I took it for 3 months total, April, May, & June.
