Doesn't seem to be working as well

I started taking phentermine eight days ago. And initially, I had no appetite whatsoever. For the past three days I'm getting hungry again. Have any of you had this experience?
I did read to avoid caffiene, as this is a diuretic (sp?)... I do drink two cups of coffee every morning and occassionally have a diet coke. I've had maybe 2 or three in the past week.
I hope this is not going to stop working, because I've had such high hopes.
I did lose 4 pounds in the past week.
Thanks for any advice....

hey- just lay off the coffee for a minute or skip a day. take it on a empty stomach witrh a full glass of water give urself aleast bout 30 minutes to c if u really want the coffee or it's just somethin u got to have. may b mind over matter. when i take it i'm usally nit hungry for a while and i have energy . the ones i have are not as good as the ones i had before. i would like to try a different kind other than k25. give it a chance skip aday. keep posting
I'm doing that today...skipping the coffee and see if I can stop thinking about FOOD.......I'm supposed to go to an Italian dinner party with 7 other girlfriends tonight..........I LOVE ITALIAN..... but it doesn't love me
I'm bringing the salad..... hope I can be good....Maybe I will keep my mouth busy yakkng rather than stuffing it with pasta and bread!

Wish me Luck and have a Great Day!!
Congrats on your 4 lbs lost!! I'd say give it some more time and if you still feel it's weak, try taking it later in the day. If that doesn't work, try splitting it to take once in the morning and once in the afternoon. When all else fails, add another half to the full pill you take. Most will say that you can take up to 2 a day but i'd go at it slowly to see what works for you.
Good luck!!
Good luck!!
I'd prolly just cut down on the coffee rather than skipping it all together. Caffeine withdrawl gives me terrible headaches.
I have been on and off phen for many years. What works best for me is, I have 1 or 2 cups of coffee in the am also a light breakfast, under 200 calories. Then 1 1/2 to 2 hrs later I take the phen. I also do not take phen on weekends or holidays, unless I am going some where there are major food temptations.
Grapefruit juice helped me. I drank 1 16oz of Ruby Red Grapefruit juice and noticed a big difference! Also, are you eating enough when you do eat? I spoke to a dr. about getting hungry in the afternoon and sometimes out of nowhere I was just starving! He said I wasn't eating enough at dinner. Try foods that are high in protein as it takes your body longer to break them down and you feel fuller for longer!
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
Thanks everyone, for the advice.... I don't think it was the coffee....I think after reading your posts, I've been taking it too early - like 7am. Tomorrow am, I'm going to have a light breakfast, which I haven't been doing and wait a couple of hours and take it then.
Yesterday I took 1 1/2 and didn't feel much difference. Today I took two, and it did do a much better job, but if I continue to do that I won't have any left. Just kind of wanted to see what would happen. I'm getting a slight headache - probably from that, because I don't ususally get headaches. But lots and lots of energy.
I do tend to have a high tolerance when it comes to pain pills.....for whatever reason.... Where most people take one, I have to take two.....
Thanks again.....and Have a Great Day!!

Well, I guess with phen, you just have to tweek it and see what works with your body. I did what was suggested and had a light breakfast, waited until, actually 11am, which was too late (was up til 1am both nights), and it worked much, much better. I've done that for two days and it's totally better. Tomorrow, I'm going to try to take it at 10am. I was taking it at 7am when I started taking it.
This is what's so great about this forum.... I don't think I know anyone off the internet that would have the experience with phen to give me advice.
Thanks everyone... and have a great fourth!!
