Duromine 30mg..

I was trying Liqui Carn fat burner stuff. I believe I didn't drink enough water and that contributed to this wretched kidney infection I have now. Not using it now lol. I didn't see any weight loss with it.

phentermine?

Have it ever occurred to you why diet pills don't work? You will gain all that weight back as you have not learned the discipline to be more conscious about what you eat and how much of it, learn to count calories and leave the pills.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

So spend the time and learn nutrition...you won't regret it

This, times a thousand. Taking a pill to solve your weight problems will only create a dependency. Then, you have side effects and the risk of putting on all you lost and more once you stop using them. Heed the words above.

no way...in the past yes, but not this time. au natural for me

sweetsuzie84

Your right, but im on this pill to teach me how to eat better.. example Duromine stops me from being hungry, so when i do eat i am most likey to choose a healthier meal. im training my body to stop craving bread and pasta and not to eat it as often as i use too. Its just so hard, when all your life you didnt care what went in to your body and now finally im caring..

Was getting to this! If it is phentermine then it will make a good appetite suppressant. But do you plan on taking it forever? Once you stop taking it the hunger is going to comeback full force and can cause the weight to pack back on.

Hi Sweetsuzie, I know how you feel. I tried the same drug a few years ago and i felt like a drug addict in the mornings before i had my pill. i also couldn't sleep at all. We all know what we are supposed to eat and exercise, but sometimes life gets in the way. My point is , I HEAR YOU SISTER!!!!!:flowerforyou:

Once you're off the pill you're going to get all the same cravings. There's no shortcut to weight loss and a majority of the people on this site learned/have accomplished it the hard way. If you want to 'train' your body to do anything you have to do so on your own will and not with the help of pills

Rapid weight loss can cause more muscle loss, slowing metabolism and making regain easier.
I would stop taking it soon, it is going to cause more harm than good in the future

I dont think diet pills are good in the long term. I have taken them in the past: they work for a while. But the damage it does to your body isn't worth it.

You're gonna have to learn how to suck it up and eat healthy on your own eventually. Your long term health and weight loss depends on it.

A better 'kick start' is to slowly start eating better choices in your diet, little by little. Also, you do not have to cut out certain foods, as long as they fit within your calorie goal. A good strategy to being nice and full is to eat 1g of protein per pound of body weight, plus this will help you retain muscle as you lose weight. Remember it's not an all or nothing type of thing, you can make a gradual change.

I'm taking slim quick. Not because i have some sort of out of touch belief that these are going to make me lose weight but they are loaded with tons of vitamins and caffeen. They help me have the energy in the morning to get to the gym. I was losing weight before i started them and i'm sure i'll continue long after i run out.

Looking at the nutritional value of Slim Quick...you'd be FAR better off just taking a good multivitamin and drinking coffee or tea for your caffeine. There really are not many vitamins in Slim Quick compared to the multivitamin I take...not by a long shot(my multi has every one of the nutrients it has and in bigger quantities).
Here's what Slim Quick has:


and here's what my Orange Triad multivit's from Controlled Labs have:

This is how I "kick started" my weight loss. I've lost almost 50 pounds since May. I rarely crave any of the junk, anymore, and when I do, one taste is usually enough to remind me that I don't really want any of it anymore.

omg yall HAVE to try vyvanse if you like that feeling. you are SO much more focused in work/school or whatevs it's like mageic!! and it doesn't make you hungry so you can control prfectly what you eat! i for exaple do track& field and i know i have to eat sth before i have practice. but it's more controlled so you don't just dive into food whenever you feel like it (: and you don't have to take it every day or anything you can take it whenever. but when you see the results after a while you'll be motivated to eat good without the meds (: the problem is that it's not really a special diet drug soo..you would have to find sbd to sell them to you. buut i'm telling you..it's absolute MAGIC!! not just for losing weight..you will be on top of ever single thing you do! focused like a lazer

And on a drug. Really bad advice.

CatseyeHardcast

No way, if your hungry...... eat. Just make smart food choices.

futureangel

they weren't asking for advice though, sorry just wanted to share that with you it's not like you get addicted to it. i agree, that the best way is to make good choices but some people may need a little push to get to the point where they can make those choices..

I think that prescribed weight loss pills by the dr r the only ones that rly work..and they're a good headstart to help u lose weight..I'm a firm believer that if it works for u, try it! And for everyone saying you'll gain the weight back as soon as u get off the pills, I disagree, u can gain the weight back whenever u dnt stay focused whether ure on a pill or not..I've never used weight loss pills but Many of my friends have and have lost and kept off the weight

I used them as a teenager and found they didn't do much. I felt less hungry for a while after taking them but, when you eat emotionally that tends not to bee a deterrent. I found I do better without things like that, most tend to be phoneys anyway.

Are you seriously encouraging people to abuse prescription ADHD medication? -_-; It is an amphetamine. It's like crystal meth. People, please do NOT listen to this poster.

Vyvanse® is a federally controlled substance (CII) because it can be abused or lead to dependence. Keep in safe place to prevent misuse and abuse. Selling or giving away Vyvanse may harm others, and is illegal. Vyvanse is a stimulant. Misuse of stimulants may cause sudden death and serious heart problems.
http://www.vyvanse.com/

Although Vyvanse is referred to as “pro-drug” of dextroamphetamine, it is still an amphetamine, meaning that Vyvanse is easily abused and can cause insomnia, agitation, anxiety and sometimes psychotic symptoms like seeing things or becoming paranoid (seeing or hearing things that are not real, believing things that are not real, or are suspicious).
