Not only does it help suppress your appetite, but it also gives you lots of energy. And as a nurse working 12 hour's a day 4 day's a week, I know the feeling of not having enough energy! Plus today makes one week since joining the gym, so energy for me is a must have and even with all the so called great feel full foods out there, sometimes you just need a little more help! Whoever said pills are bad must have had a bad problem with medication abuse before, because as a nurse I will tell you not all pills, or dieting pills are bad, if they where (BAD) the FDA would not approve them as safe to take, However not all diet related medications are for everyone as I'm sure you all know that. But that goes with any type of medication's.
This is a photo of what Fastin looks like in it's original package. And I always purchase mine at the local GNC store. But you should know Fastin is not for everyone, it contain's lots of caffine! But if you have ever tried adipex/phentermine then you will find Fastin brings the same effects. the only difference if Adipex/phentermine is only a RX, and fastin as I said can be bought at your local GNC store.
So, because you are a nurse, you speak with authority. Got it.
Deja vu...

The FDA didn't approve them as safe to take. In fact the FDA ordered Dimethylamylamine banned from the US food and supplement supply in 2013, which other manufacturers complied with. Hi Tech Pharmaceuticals refused, and is suing the FDA in order to try to keep their product on the market. They allege that the FDA lacks the authority to prevent sales of DMAA.0 -
I use a mirror and nudity.
You can't imagine how awkward it gets in the office when I'm over my calorie limit and hungry.0 -
Oh my goodness, one size doesn't fit all!! Some people don't agree with pills, some swear by them. Some have great results, and it backfires for others and they gain weight. You need to find the method that works best for you, period. We don't all live in the same environment, have the same access to food, money or gyms. Find what works for you, and stick with it.1

The problem is, you can't "stick with" appetite suppressants. No reputable doctor will let you take them forever.0 -
You don't need an appetite suppressant. The vast majority of people are not overweight because they only eat when they are hungry. An appetite suppressant only helps you for the short time your are on a diet. An appetite suppressant won't help you after the weight is gone.
Instead, pick a moderate weekly weight loss goal. Eat food and log it. If you find you are indeed hungry, then tweak your food choices. Most people can lose weight without feeling hunger pangs.0 -

Weird animosity towards this comment. I frequently eat out of boredom, so it's a good mental reminder to consider why I want to eat before I put it in my mouth. If you're allergic to apples, chose another food. Just pick a food that you don't love (dark chocolate probably wouldn't work for me) but that wouldn't kill you. If you don't eat out of boredom, it probably would have little effect, but what would it hurt?0 -

I agree, for sure. But I've used them in the past as a way to help break some old habits, and I always kept the weight off, with the exception of having my daughter. It also helped me develop my love of working out. It's not realistic, or safe, to depend on pills forever. But for some, it's the jumpstart they need.

Well chewing gum helps me feel less hungry not sure how gum chewing would affect you OP. I am no expert, but as others mentioned drinking water helps!

I recently started taking a medication for reasons unrelated to dieting, but one of the side effects of it is decreased appetite. Honestly, based on my experiences with that, I don't recommend appetite suppressants for weight loss. For me, it's made it a lot harder to eat healthily, because I end up not remembering to eat all day, and then having a bunch of candy or something else quick just to get up to my daily calorie minimum. It's not the best approach.0

So every time I'm hungry I should grab an apple? What kind of logic is this?
No, just a saying. If you're hungry, but not willing to eat something, then more likely you're wanting to eat out of boredom. If you can recognize that, a suppressant is unnecessary.
I feel this kind of tactic is good for kids, not a grown adult.
Why just kids? I think the fact most people here are trying to lose weight shows they at some point lacked the ability to responsibly regulate their own food intake so learning if they eat out of boredom is not exactly the dumbest thing to suggest and probably more helpful than "just drink water" or "just eat protein."0 -
Do any of you use an appetite suppressant? If so, which one has worked for you? Thank you!!
I used to struggle so much with appetite.
You can take a few days and exclude fruit, sugar (track it and keep it at 15g or below), and eat only slow carbs for those days (lentils, brown rice, beans). It really cut that appetite issue for me.0 -

I guess only tactics you are a fan of are helpful to others and the rest are for kids? Where's the logic in that lol...

Actually, I don't like it for kids either, but most of the time when my kids are hungry, they're looking for junk food.
So it's 11:36 am and I'm hungry. Should I eat an apple? Or should I eat my regularly scheduled meal? I'M SO CONFUSED.
Get it? It's not a good saying. But you can like it if you want. Idgaf.

As for pills I've heard great things about topamax but it didn't work for me but i was at the minimum dosage so it may have if it were increased. The problem was it could cause blindness and i was starting to have trouble with my eyes i got scared and stopped using it.Its often used to treat binge eating disorder and can help you lose weight but its not officially for weight loss. Thats just a side effects.
I was on topamax for migraines, it's horrendous you do lose weight however I had a stutter, painful numb hands and feet, brain fog, visual issues, I couldn't drink coffee, fizzy drinks, alcohol, just eat healthier and move more0
