Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

fen/phen feelings

Question:

Dear Nancy, My name is Jeanne and I use fen/phen as well.  I just started about two and 1/2 weeks ago and have lost 15 pounds so far.  I have problems with dry mouth and upset stomachs quite a bit, but that is slowly going away. The big problem I am having now is eating three meals a day.  I am a diabetic with my blood sugar under control.  I will go about 7 hours before I realize that I haven’t eaten.  Today was my first day eating three so called meals.  Meals for me are a bagel or bowl of soup.  Does this happen to you?  How much have you lost so far? Sorry for so many questions.  I have not been able to talk to anyone who has used this before now. I have been overweight since early childhood.  I have never been at the "ideal weight".  I have what is called polysystic ovary syndrome.   Apparently one in every five women have it, but they are just now starting to work with it.  It explains many things that have been wrong with me.  This fen/phen will hopefully help me to at least come a little closer to what is ideal as well and become more healthy. I would really like to hear back from you or anyone that would like to write.  This is a very exciting topic. Jeanne – Virginia Beach, VA

Hi Donna, Yes, it’s true.  It’s not a bad psyche or emotions that make us obsess about food.  It’s hunger!!!  I never believed it until I started fen/phen.  When you’re not hungry, you suddenly notice that you haven’t thought about your next meal for several hours.  It’s so liberating!! I feel terrific on the ph/f meds.  Just dry mouth, but that’s been deliberately "built in" so we’ll drink water and so our appetites won’t be so stimulated.  I am so happy doing this, words fail me!

   Donna Well, I can only speak for myself, but I hardly ever think about food now, unless I’m really hungry.  Also, when I’m at a party, I can usually (now) walk away from the waiters, chaffing dishes, etc…. Most of the side effects are gone (On exactly one month) except for occaisional dry mouth. Brenda "Better to look good than to feel good, dahling." — Fernando

I am on this regimen and I feel o.k.  I had a little dizzines and still do.  Only have been on them for a week and a half.  I lost 6 1/2 lbs. the first week though, and I was happy.  They truly do work.  I also thought about food 24 hrs. a day, and now I swear I don’t.  Everywhere I went I used to know eactly what kind of food I wanted, but now, I have cut my food intake down by at least 1/2.  I also go a weight support group, but the pills really make a difference, I was very skeptical at first and didn’t go on them for two months after they were prescribed, did a lot of research, and made a decision.  I take 3 Pondimin (fenfluramine) a day, and one phenetermine once a day.  My biggest problem is getting used to taking them everyday.  I suggest them.
