Today I decided to stop taking Phentermine. I just couldn't do it any longer. It didn't give me energy the last few weeks I was taking it, it made me sluggish, moody, sooooo irritable to where I felt like crying or cursing right when something I didn't like happened or couldn't figure something out, gave me headaches from low to extreme just about everyday, bad jitters that if I didn't eat in a reasonable time (about every 3 hours) that caused me to lose focus while trying to figure out what to eat! The worst part was the increased heart rate. It was frightening and would even happen while I was watching tv. This caused me to have real short breaths as if the oxygen wasn't getting in. My body just did not like this medication so I informed my doctor and she ok'ed it to stop. I have another appointment Friday to discuss where my journey goes from here...oh and bad heartburn! I've always had heartburn when I eat spicy food, which I love, but now I even get heartburn when I eat yogurt or take aleve for headaches! It's ridiculous what can happen over a month. I am glad the insomnia was fixed earlier but this product is just not worth it to help me in my weight loss. I'm not sure if it's meant for people with more body fat that can hold it better or maybe the fact that I don't consume much caffeine. Either way it goes I'm not taking that anymore. I got blood work done last Friday to make sure my body's chemicals aren't imbalanced because if so this can affect the body not allowing it to lose weight. So hopefully I can find my results and start of with a new plan. I'm not giving up, just taking a new route. I'm still 168 right now and loving it. I'm like die hard obsessed with the toning in my legs, I literally touch them all day..so smooth lol :)
