Hi,
I have started taking phenteramine for weight loss nine days ago. The program is expected to last three months. They are 30mg pescription pills and I take one every morning along with a water tablet. The water tablet is meant to prevent me from the small dehydrating effects of the drug.
The drug certainly appetite suppresses, but with it I am getting constipation and strong lower adominal pains. It is also making me anxious. I have started taking metamucil and even some 5-htp at night (which doesn't help the abdominal pains, but will hopefully help me feel less anxious).
I was aware of these symptoms before I went on this course. So I tried to prepare myself mentally for what I was about to do. The problem is that it is becoming a too much. I feel ok whilst I am doing something, but as soon as I try to relax I the pains kick in.
I have been a bit of mdxx abuser, but have been off the pills for nearly a month. I plan to stay that way for another six months at least, if at all.
I am finding everyday life tough at the moment. I know that I only have to put up with it for another ten weeks or so. But I need advice on how I can get through this trough?
