How Does Increased Dose Of Adipex Affect Sleeping Pattern?

hello their I am a 26 year old female taking adipex to lose weight. I have done this before without problems. I lost 18 pounds tin 5 weeks with right diet and excercise. I gained it all back a year later when my grandmother passed in November. i am back on it 6 months later and I am doing so horrible with it and having bad reactions. I am also on my time of the month I have bad cramps of period and a mood to boot I cried this morning for no reason at all. I am experiancing some confusion and a headache. I was wondering if this was normal because I never acted like I did this morning. crying because I could not get a knot out of my hair and threw the brush across the room and started crying I was already hurt from my cramps anyway. My personal opion is that I am acting like that because it my of month. I also had a headache all day and I have a dry random cough at times and lose my voice as well. I also did not eat for 4 days and drank nothing but water i lost 10 pounds already. but I ate a nice dinner today of lasagna and still feel kind of odd. I had my first can of pop in 4 days i drink alot of pop. but not anymore. I had one for a treat today and my headache went away. I am so confused why I am having these issues. I have only gotten 4 hours of sleep this entire weekend. I did end up taking two because I thought I would have more energy nope. I took two for 4 days and my body does not like it. i am never taking two adipex anymore it was stupid, How long does the insomina last? I take sleeping pills and it does not work. I feel fine and awake now though. what was going on with me doc? I stopped taking my welbutrin for a week cause I cant use it with adipex but I read online you can. Is this true? sorry for the long post I just wanted to give you every detail to help me with my problem, thank you in advance

Hi! What a picturesque post! You mentioned nearly all the side effects of Adipex unwittingly.Insomnia is a common side effect of Adipex others being dizziness,drymouth,moodchanges,irritability,nausea,vomiting,diarrhea or constipation and palpitation (fast or irregular heart beat). Your insomnia should be taken care of if you take Adipex in the morning after breakfast. If it persists you'll have to consult your doctor. As far as taking it together with Wellbutrin is concerned you should do well to know that there is a risk of seizures when both medicines are being taken (especially if the higher dose version of wellbutrin, called Wellbutrin XL has been prescribed) - so do take care. Stay in touch with your physician and you should come out with flying colours. All the best!
