About Diet Pills

Does Accomplia have unsavory side effects? This user believe so. Here’s an account of her experience with the drug.

‘I took Accomplia. I had a horrible reaction to it. It felt like I had the flu…. nausea, high fever, chills, muscle aches and pains in my lower abdomen. I was so excited about starting it too, not to mention it was expensive.’

I’ve been on ionamin and pondimin for two and one half years. It took me 8 months to lose 35 pounds. After that, my weight stabilized, but I took the pills anyway – same dosage and before – one of each pill – one in the Am and one in the early PM. This last year I’ve found my cravings return – and am more interested in food. Control has had to come from inside. Don’t
start this rx without the knowledge that you will one day have to deal with the issues that encourage you to eat what your body ultimately turns into fat. You’ve got to exercise, keep your portions small, have very little fat, make smart choices, and rechannel your habitual food center. The pills are great and a tremendous help to get pounds off rapidly, and the more you deal with all those other demons, the more successful you’ll be in the long run. All the best of luck. This weight thing is a tough challenge. But you’ve gotta wanna!.

I took Phentermine 2 years ago with great success — built a tolerance — have gone on and off since with no further weight loss success, but it does still curb my appetite enough to help me maintain. At the most, I was taking 37.5 mgs at 10:00 A M and another 18.75 mgs in the afternoon if needed. I was told I shouldn’t go higher than this; therefore, I’m curious to see what dosage others are taking. I weigh betweem 145 and 150 depending on how diligent I am with
diet.

I have had success with Phentermine. I take it morning and afternoon and do not have any side effects except dry mouth. I do drink a lot of water now and even that symptom seems to be going away. I committed to myself to take Phentermine for three months and then stop. Hopefully that is enough time for me to adjust to a healthier lifestyle and to get in shape so that I will enjoy physical activities more. I do not have cravings any more and my appetite is suppressed.

I began the process of altering my diet prior to going on Phen though. For example, I quit eating fast food about four months before starting my new eating plan. Then each month after that, I gave up another problem food. First cookies and cake, then chips and dip, then high fat cheeses. These are the foods that I struggle with, so I gave them up one at a time while still eating whatever else I wanted. Then when I was ready to start the diet, I began eating 1200 – 1400 calories a day and exercising about three times a week. I also tried to be more physically active in smaller ways, for example, taking the stairs and parking at the top of the lot
rather than at the door. I hope to work up to exercising more frequently but take satisfaction in the small progress that I am making. There are still areas where I struggle, like weighing myself two or three times a day (I know I should throw out the scale, but I can’t yet), but I am not having trouble with cravings/binges. I am going to take this one day at a time, and if I don’t lose any more, I am going to be grateful for what I have lost, and not gain it back.

I could never have done this without the help of phentermine.

I am up there in age, but after all the years I’ve spent using diet medication, I am still unable to succeed in losing weight unless I take meds. The main *properties* in this pill do not suppress the appetite…as much as they give you an incredible sense of well being which in turn gives you the ability to resist screwing up your diet! (If this makes any sense). Prozac, for example is being used for bulemia, and OCD, because the energy one gets from the drug, starts the domino effect…You feel good…you don’t eat as much, because you’re not so depressed…you feel optimistic….plus, when you see the weight drop off, you buy something towear….yada….yada…

I have my own theories about overweight conditions, depression, and chemical imbalances. But most people prefer to lable diet pill users as weak, depending on a crutch, etc. THAT’S O.K.!!…..I suffered so much in my life, as a result of being fat, because I was depressed…..OR depressed, because I was fat!…..It doesn’t matter anymore to me….What ever works, I use. I endorse diet meds, and make it my business to keep supplied. …I love the feeling of being totally awake, and productive…I feel my creativity is in full swing….Didrex is still being written, because it hasn’t gone over to the schedule II.

It’s a few molecules off from dexedrine or benzedrine, but who cares? So many other diet drugs are really unsafe. An honest doctor will tell you the same. When I don’t take these pills, I am cranky, tired and feel like there’s a cotton filter in my head. Nothing is crystal clear. I have had no side-effects in 20 years, \thus, the continued use.
