phentermine 37mg and arm cramps

by tinaet, Nov 03, 2006 12:00AM
I've been taking phentermine 37 mg and i cut them in half and every time i take this medicine my arms starts to hurt really bad in the evening, could it be that the medicine is wearing off and it makes me really tired, do i need to go ahead and take the other half later in the day. My husband worries saying it might be my heart. Or could it be that i need to drink more water, I've heard you can get cramps when you take diets pill and don't drink anuff water. I  want to loose weight but it just scares me about my arms. Any advice would be great!

tinaet,

I'm sorry but I have been desperately trying to find the website, but the forum site is so big until I can't find it.  As soon as I find it I will definately pass it on.

I was waiting to see what other people would say about your question, but my opinion is that if it were your heart you would have other symptoms too, like palpitations, cold sweats, pain, etc. And it would probably keep getting worse.

Are you taking shots, too or any other meds? The cramps could be from all sorts of things, maybe even a deficiency in your diet, like if you're not getting enough calcium or potassium. Or you might be right about the water; you shoud certainly be increasing that anyway. I truly do not believe the phentermine would cause you any heart problems unless you had a heart condition already before you started taking them. Did you get an EKG or any bloodwork done? I would not give up on the phen if I were you. I would just keep eating healthy and see what happens. If you're seeing a doctor or clinic regularly, mention it to them, or there are sites online where you can ask questions to doctors and pharmacists. Good luck
