Re: Recommend a good diet pill

Private Realm, please do more research before ordering phentermine or any other diet pill!! My cousin has a heart condition from diet pills. Albeit, she was taking phen-fen. Just in case you don't realize, phentermine is the phen portion of the phen-fen. We have a family friend that lost her life due to diet pills. She was at dinner and literally fell off her chair, she was dead before she hit the floor (a heart valve had ruptured).

Ok, I can say that weight loss meds can be beneficial IF YOU DON'T HAVE other pre-existing conditions and you are not taking any other meds.

Did you know that you shouldn't take any of these weight loss meds with anti-depressants? Taking phentermine or even meridia with an anti-depressant can cause serotonin syndrome (rare but very serious). Also, all of these meds increase your blood pressure, can be dangerous even if you are on a HBP med.

Personally, I have a heart condition and also have 25 lbs to take off. I decided to order phentermine from an OP because my doc wouldn't prescribe it because of the heart med, calcium-channel blocker, zoloft, etc.

I went ahead and ordered it and cut my zoloft intake by half (just to prevent serotonin syndrome). Well, in the end, I only lasted a week. I had diarrhea, felt jittery, was very irritable, my blood pressure sky rocketed (even though I'm on a calcium channel blocker), and my heart was doing funky things.

In the end, I wasted $108.00 bucks. Just please be careful. I dont' mean to be so blunt but just don't want anything bad to happen.
