Diet Pills

[Jenn218]

Ephedra put me in the hospital several years ago....I'm talking a long time ago. I was passing out, didn't know what I was saying, etc. That was the only thing that could be found to have caused it! But, everyone is different, so they may take to it differently.

I'm not a big diet pill person after that, but a few years back, my doctor gave my Xenical, but I don't recommend it just because it makes you go to the bathroom (#2, the bad kind) all the time and you have to be near a restroom because when the urge hits, you go! YUCK!!!

Adipex/Phentermine worked well and did give a lot of energy, but the doctor will only allow you to be on them for so many months....Then, that is it. I heard you can get them online somewhere, but I don't know.

Meridia is said to be good, with a slow, steady weight lose, but it is expensive. I think well over $100 for a bottle (which, I guess would be a month). I am almost tempted to ask my doctor for those......maybe for a month or so....just to help get over this plateau I'm at right now!

Great thread.....love to hear everyone else's stories!

I dont really agree with diet pills, however my friend took soyalicthyn (sp?) its pronnounced like SOYALISATHIN. Its a herbal pill that you take with your meal and it fills you up. She lost 2 stone over 3 months and hasn't gained ay weight since coming off them. Also with the herbal/natural remedies you get no side effects

I guess I expected to take one a day and have no appetit at all. I still get hungry before meals.

$40 for a 10 day supply is wayyyy overpriced. Try Lipo6 by Nutrex. I really liked it. I'm not sure if my appetite was suppressed as much as I'd liked but it really pumped me up and gave me no side effects. Its about $30 for a one month supply!! Also, do you eat at least 5 little meals a day? Try eating eggs and toast for breakfast, eggs will fill u up better. And mid morning have maybe half a protein bar. Have the other half for your Midday snack after lunch. And don't eat after 6! PLEASE drink LOTS AND LOTS of water. It's so crucial that you drink plenty of water when taking diet pills.

Thanks V - the doctor gave me a perscription for these several months back, but I never filled them. I don't know if he will still let me get them or not. I am just afraid of the side effects (if any), since I have had bad luck with pills!

By the way.......how is your weight lose coming?

Mine is on hold right now.......I need a good motivation.....my treadmill bit the dust and it is sooo hot to walk outside right now. Plus, it is killer to have to cook my healthy meal and then turn around and cook another (yummy) meal for my hubby. (he will NOT eat anything like steamed fish and vegies, etc). It can be so hard sometimes!
