Anyone get chills when taking phen? In the morning (I take my pill around 7am) I'm sweating like a pig. Around 2pm I start getting chills the rest of the day. Chills to the point that I get goosebumps.

Normal side effect? Anyone know what causes it?

Oh heavens not me I am hot, hot, hot all the time but of course I also have the hormone issues.  I have heard once you get through all this menoupase stuff you cool down again.  But I have not been cold at all on phen.  I would say if you are above 35yrs old it very likely could be hormones.  I started perimenoupase at 38yrs I am 42yrs now and have all kinds of stuff happening (I have been told this can last for 10-15yrs, oh joy).  Also if you have had kids in the last couple of years that can play havoc on your hormones as well.  I love being a women:))))

I guess it's not really chills as in I get cold.  I get these weird sensations that show up as goosebumps on my arms.  I'm still boiling hot - especially in the morning.  The goosebump chills start more in the early afternoon and come on every couple of minutes.

Fortunately I haven't had any of the other symptoms.
I'm going to keep a close on on this for a couple of days though.  Thank you for posting.

Losewt - that could signify poor circulation.

I haven't had that side effect. But then again, the heat index where I live was 115, I believe today. Hot and humid - it was horrible. Would love to have a cold flash about now!!!!
In fact I really haven't had much side effects - I am constantly thursty though.

I am usually cold.  The only time I get warm is at night when I am sleeping or if it is really hot outside.  I know I am too young for menopause.  I am puzzled on this.
