1/2 pill or full pill? |
|
|
Ok, today is my first day taking the 37.5 phen. The dr. suggested that I take 1/2 to see how it works for me. I took it this morning, mid morning as directed. Based on what other people have written, I am surprised that I am still hungry!? I have read where people say they 'forget' to eat on it but I am as hungry as if I had not taken anything.
So...does it take a few hours to kick in? Should I take a full pill (I'm afraid its too late today, I already have problems with insomnia!) tomorrow? Do most of you do a full pill?
I appreciate any feedback - I got these from Walgreens, prescribed from my dr. so I know they are the real thing...just wondering if I was expecting too much? |

I usually do a full pill with the 37.5's. I'd say wait 'til tomorrow (since you mentioned sleeping problems that you already have) and then see what taking a full pill does for you.
Then again I'm not a doctor, so don't take my word for it. That is just what works for me from experience.  |

Update:
Ok, I went to lunch and had to go to a new hire lunch (restaurant which I was nervous about). Anyhow, I was about 1/4 done with my meal and I was stuffed! I literally did NOT want more. It didn't appeal to me. And believe me, I usually clean my plate.
So maybe the 1/2 works....I just needed to eat something to realize it?
I am relieved. |

| I started with one pill, but it was making me feel a little loopy so I reduced to 1/2 a pill a day for the first week. Then I realized it wasn't working as much so since then, I have been taking one pill a day. It still works, but I can feel that it is less than before (plus, I am PMSing so it's harder). However, I usually don't feel it until one hour after I take it. it really works! |

| I agree with Baglady-empty stomache and wait an hour before eating after taking it. |
