Tingling In Arms, Numbness In Thumbs, Insomnia. Taking Adipex. Could It Be Side-effects Of Adipex?
I started taking Adipex to get me going on a weight-loss regimen three months ago. I now have tingling in my arms, numbness in both thumbs, and trouble sleeping. I can go for days without going to bed before 4:00 a.m. Are these side effects of the Adipex? The numbness is troubling because I teach school and need those hands to work properly!
