I've taken this pill off and on for years. It's always the first week that I have a headache and I get a little moody...not crybaby but grumpy. After that, it goes away. Are you taking the pill in the morning? On an empty stomach?0
-
yes first thing in the morning an hr. before breakfast0

I've heard of headaches and such being caused, but most have said it goes away after a week or so. The only major side effect I have come across is extreme dry-mouth at times. I drink TONS of water, and am not dehydrated either. I sort of like the dry-mouth though, because it reminds me to drink the water it seems.0

Just drink a lot of water and that will help.0

I'm a late day eater so I take my pill around 10:00 after I've eaten something. I don't get so quesy if I take it with food. Maybe that might help.0

My main side affect is dry mouth- the first week I did have headaches but I think it was because I cut out sugar and sodas ! I do get irritable at times0

My main side effect is dry mouth. I can deal with that though because this pill gives me so much energy and makes me want to go and work out.0

I have odd side effects. I have spotted goose bumps. I'll have a patch of goosebumps randomly on my body. dry mouth, which is do-able and just this past weekend my hands and feet felt swollen (like I had tied a string around each finger or toe) and they were ice cold and tingly. I took a few days off and I'll see if it continues when I take it tomorrow.0

I think you should report these symptoms to your doctor immediately! It may be no big deal in the end, but I would feel much better if you would call his/her office and report back to us on what s/he said. I know my dr seems concerned about possible swelling. He checks that often, though I have never had problems with it. The dry mouth is nothing to worry about, but the bumps and swelling do sound concerning to me.0 -
Anyone else notice their face is breaking out? I feel like it's making my skin dryer in an already dry climate (CO), and now my skin has been breaking out really badly. I never had bad skin before, so it's definitely driving me a little crazy to feel like I have adult acne.0

I've been on and off again of this medicine over the last 5 years and my side effects are much the same as you've all mentioned: Headache for a while, dry mouth, and moodiness. I find that I get swelling but my clinic that prescribed me this medicine also put me on a regimen of lasix and potassium. I had noticed that if I don't take it every other day that I will swell. And I bruise very easily, either it was the medicine or the Aleve I've had to take for the headaches. lol.
And the acne, lordie... I thought it was just my punishment later in life for having great skin as a teenager.0 -
The only side effect I have is a burst of energy ,the occasional dry mouth and I dont know if its pyschological or not, but sometimes I cant fall asleep at night very easy. I honestly think its because I have heard others say this, and so I expect it to happen to me.
Anywho, I work early in the morning.. between 3am and 3pm, so taking phentermine on an empty stomach does wonders. I eat my fruits or whatever I'm going to eat, and then I am in full force! I keep a jug of water on my desk, so I chug that throughout the day or chew on a piece of gum.0 -
No breakouts.
My face feels okay. Do you think it may be something you may or may not be eating?0 -
is it more effective to take it after a meal for you? I read to take it on an empty stomach for better results.0

My doctor warned me about the very symptoms you are describing..Go to your doctor...If Phentermine is not for you there are other ones you could try]0 -

Mine is just the opposite. I never had acne when I was young. I started getting it about 2 years ago. When I started on Phen my face cleared up within 3 days! I get a rare zit here and there like I did when I was young.0
