I started the meds approximately a week ago. I was told the Phen would give me all of this energy and that the Metformin would keep me in the bathroom a lot until my body adjusted, but I have had neither really. The first couple of days on the Phen I had a boost of energy, which I loved, but it quickly faded. I am now constantly tired, no matter how much sleep I get. From what I've researched fatigue can be a side effect of both medicines.
Between December 2002 and October 2005, 189 non-diabetic patients were treated with Peg-IFN-alpha/Riba, of whom five developed type 1 DM (2.6%), three type 2 DM (1.6%) and one an indeterminate type of DM. Classical symptoms of DM were present in three patients who developed DM shortly after cessation of Peg-IFN-alpha/Riba. In the other patients, symptoms of DM were either indistinguishable from side effects caused by Peg-IFN-alpha/Riba or absent.

By May I gained 3lbs, and Phen-phen (30mg) was added to my regimen. By mid-June I gained another 2lbs, and my doctor took me off the Levothyroxine. I am seeing a nutritionist, still on the Phen-phen, and a daily Vitamin B shots. By July 23rd, gained 2.4 lbs; no longer on Levothyroxine, still seeing the nutritionists and I am back to being extremely fatigue, lightheaded, chronic itchness, and not focused(it seems as my brain and mouth are at a disconnect). My life has been turned outside down.
I had been suffering froming allergic phenomenon since I was 17 years old.During the last 6 years,I had been looking for the solution to ruduce the impact and tend to find the logic of PATM phenomenon.This days,I have some break—through discoveries that may uncover the principle of a kind of PATM.My PATM phenomenon is intensely related to my mind.when I thought something painfully,the allergic phen— become serious.
what can I do for a cold? Like is there anything that I can take? I'm so sick!
I'm in the process of switching to a new dentist and the new patient form I had to fill out asked "Have you ever taken any combination of the drug known as 'fen-phen'. This includes phentermine (Adipex, Fastin, etc) and/or fenfluramine (Pondimin)." What does it matter if I have taken this? I haven't taken fen-phen, but I have and do occasionally take phentermine?
Thank you both for the info. Yesterday was only the 2nd day I was on the meds. I think I had an allergic reaction to the hydrochlorothizide. I had these bumps on my face and lip that looked like I had spider bites. I took benadryl and it went away. I am not going to take the hydrochlorothiazide today. If I don't get a reaction then I know it was that and I won't continue with it. If I still get it from the phentermine, I will stop taking it altogether.
You can call and speak to a nurse or doctor at the hospital or another office that is open. And of course there's always Google. Personally I'm surprised that the doctor said to take DM since it's typically more dangerous. Dextromethorphan (DM) is the chemical that makes you trip (hallucinatory or get a kind of drunk type feeling) if you drink enough and is very commonly abused and can be pretty harmful, so that's why it surprises me so much that they said take that.
This was one of my worries when I first found out I had some valve problems in 2009, because back in 2007 I went on Phen for 6 months then went on it again in 2008. Even though I had never had any problems from it directly. I thought maybe it had caused problems such as PPH.
Every cardiologist and EP I saw said Phen alone is not the ingredient that caused problems; do I believe them? Heck no...
