    Diet pills are bad bad news.


    My friend is a jockey. He took them to lose weight for a horse race a once. They were supposed to be all natural. He didn't sleep for two days and when he stopped taking them he was walking around like a zombie because he was so tired. Stay away from them unless your doctor prescribes them.

    Please read this topic.

    If you are serious about taking both, then check with our dr. Period
  • Are you serious?
    Just eat sensibly and diet alone will help if you do it right.
    There is NO QUICK LOSS and if you do it within a few months it will just creep back only twice as much.

    What ever you decide good luck on your journey.

    I would recommend that you connect with your doctor who prescribed your meds to see if there are any condraindications with the two products, personally.

    On a professional note as a trainer....diet pills are never healthy. At least any of them that I have seen on the market. They are usually feeding a gimmik or an unhealthy way of looking at fat loss plus the body can become compromised in some way but again, a doctor (i say that tongue and cheek because most of them don't really have a clue), could possibly move you in a heathly decision.

    Good luck to you and thanks for sharing your question.

    I was considering a thermogenic fat burner and wanted to try oxyelite... But if you read the label it states clearly that people with certain physchological disorders should not take it. I have G.A.D. And I wouldn't want to mix those medications.

    Personally I wouldn't take the diet pills, but just so you know, the doctor or pharmacist will usually tell you this sort of info over the phone.
  • thanks for the clarification :)
    I just googled and zap- easy to read
