I took 2 pills this morning. I set out my 2 pills for the afternoon, got distracted, forgot I took the morning set and took the afternoon set. 4 pills at one time, what is my risk? ## Hi Renee, According to nih.gov, the following symptoms are reportedly associated with an overdose of Bupropion (one of the two active ingredients in Contrave): - Lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting - Loss of consciousness - Slow or irregular heartbeat - Unusual tiredness If you notice any of those symptoms, they suggest seeking emergency medical assistance immediately. As far as Naltrexone is concerned, there are reports by medlineplus.gov stating that it may cause liver damage when taken in large doses. They further note that in case of an overdose, you should call your local poison control center at ...

I am now up to 4 pills a day. I take the first dose around 7:30 and then eat breakfast. What time should I take the pm dose? I don't desire sweets now, but it does not seem to curb my appetite for dinner. I am nauseous and anxious. The first 2 weeks it did curb my appetite. ## The dosing directions just say morning and evening, so approximately 12 hours apart seems to be a safe assumption. However, if the morning dose is not curbing your appetite for your evening meal, you may need to adjust when you take it. Can anyone else that's taking it chime in with their experience? Nausea, and anxiety can be normal side effects of this medication, according to FDA reports. You may also experience dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and insomnia. Has there been any change?

I want to know what the difference is in Tribedoce C/L and Tribedoce Dx injections , in the amounts of all the vitamin B,s I take this for weight loss in combination with Phentermine pills and Lipotropic injections , ## Hello, Lynnette! How are you? If you're trying to lose weight, the Tribedoce DX is one to stay away from, because the DX actually stands for Dexamethasone, which is a steroid class medication that can cause weight gain. It's other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include headache, acne, insomnia and irritability. It is usually used to treat nerve pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Very interested in redotex, norex, the best diet pills. I need these used Redotex ## i know what Tribedoce Complejo B is.... but what is Tribedoce C/l? ## ...

For others, they may be fine doing either one... It all depends on what your goals are and how drastic you're willing or able to change things within your lifestyle to make it happen. You mentioned that you're eating healthy, but I would just add that a healthy diet is only one crucial ingredient in a successful weight loss regimen. I hope you have managed to m...

I have been on Belviq for 2 years. I lost all my weight about 75 Pounds. I have maintained for a year. My doctor has kept me on it. I went to a new Dr and they wont let me continue on the medicine. It really has helped me control my hunger. I have changed my lifestyle and eating habits but I have a HUGE appetite. Is it harmful to stay on it if you are t a normal weight and it helps you stay there? Also when I have stopped before I get so sick, like the worst case of the flu. ## You can take it, as long as your doctor feels it is safe for you to take it. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia, and anorexia. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? What symptoms did you experience, when you tried to stop it?

There are some that may cause weight gain as a side effect, but they all also carry the risk of causing other side effects, as well. The best and safest way to gain weight is by eating a healthy diet and increasing your protein intake. Learn more Protein details here.

I'm on 2nd week of Contrave 1 pill Am 1 pill pm. I have had a minor procedure which requires Norco 325/7.5. Is it's ok to take. (ER prescribed) yes I told them what medicine I was taking. I also was on Vyvanse 40mg and Kolopin(as needed), when my Dr perscribed Contrave ? ## I stopped the Vyvanse due to me seeing it had a major side effect risk. The started the contrave 3 days later to be safe. ## The Naltrexone in the Contrave will most likely prevent the Hydrocodone in the Norco in working, so it isn't likely that it will help with pain, if you are still taking Contrave. The FDA warns that Hydrocodone carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, constipation, dry mouth, and headache. Have you taken any, yet? If so, what has ...

I started taking Contrave in February and have lost 24 pounds so far. It worked really well for my appetite and cravings. I have noticed the last couple of weeks it is not effective and has not been curving my appetite and cravings. Is this normal and can I do anything do "reboot" so it is effective again? ## This is happening to me too.. on it for 5 months and I seem hungry a lot more now. Curious to see if anyone has any input on this slowdown. ## This is exactly what has happened to me in the last week or so. It's as if I am not taking it at all anymore. It's very expensive to build up a resistance to, if that is what's going on. I can't take any more of them, I am at the highest dose as I have been on it for 6 weeks or so. The first month I lost almost 20 pou...

I'm taking Belviq which was working fine the first week now it's causing constipation and I notice I'm not losing any weight due to the constipation. I want to continue with Belviq but what can I do about the constipation? I feel it's stopping me from losing weight ## Have you received any responses to this question? I am having this same problem. I go several days with no desire to make a BM. I have been on belviq for 3 months and I haven't lost any pounds besides the 1st 12 lbs from the 1st month. I'm exercising and counting calories. Thinking about stopping this medication but afraid of belviq withdrawal symptoms. ## Constipation is a known side effect of this medication, according to FDA reports. You may also experience fatigue, chills, anxiety, and insomnia....

I am taking 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills in the evening. But yesterday I missed my evening dose. What should I do? ## Generally, the prescribing instructions say that you should pick up, again, with your regular dosing schedule.

I have been taking contrave for 2 months. My side effects are tiredness in the afternoon and neasua in the morning. They are not enough for me to quit. This morning I vomited from the neasua and with the force of the dry heave I got a sudden severe headache lasting about one minute. Then a dull headache ever since. Should I be concerned? ## Those can be normal side effects, according to NIH reports, but it is always best to have such a symptom checked out, because it could be a sign of other dangerous health issues. You may also experience headache, nervousness, and anorexia. Are you on any other medications? How often do you usually experience headaches?

Hello. I'm trying to take Phentermine 37.5mg that I got from my doctor, as nothing else works for me to lose weight. I took 1/2 every morning and nothing happened. Now I'm taking a whole one and I feel like a pinch in my heart. Should I stop it? ## This medication can cause elevated heart rate and blood pressure, as side effects, according to NIH reports. Thus, it would be best to have this checked out by your doctor, such symptoms are not anything to leave to chance. How are you feeling, now? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications?

I have been on belviq for 3 months and it seems like Belviq doesn't suppress my appetite. I did lose the 12lbs required to continue taking it, however I worked out a lot and counted calories. It has been very hard because I am still hungry very often. What do I need to do for belviq to start helping with my appetite and cravings? ## It might not be the right medication for you, not every one works for everyone that tries it, which is why there are usually other options available to try in any given therapeutic class. Have you experienced any of its typical side effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, hypertension, or insomnia? ## I had side effects the first month but they all went away.

I need to find a doctor in Bend, Oregon (or even nearby) that prescribes Phentermine. NOT phentermine-d. ## Could someone please help me out. I've searched on the Internet for a weight loss clinic and prescribes Phentermine. I haven't been able to find any. I really appreciate it. Losing weight is not easy and I want to be healthy and am tired of having excess weight on me. I'm in La Pine and can't find any here. Maybe there's some in Bend, Oregon.

Hello, I've started contrave and been on one pill for about a week and a half, I probably need to up it. I have noticed an increase in eye twitchiness and for about 3 days now random pins and needles tingling in my back and feet. Anyone else?? ## You should have this checked out by a doctor, those could be symptoms of an allergy and if they worsen, it could become life threatening. The NIH lists other allergy symptoms as possibly including hives and trouble breathing? How are you doing? Has there been any change? Have you experienced any new symptoms?

Hi, I am 26 and my tsh level is 41.5, I am having 64kgs of weight, due to hypothyroidism. I am prescribed with 100 mcg of thyronorm. Please clarify me, if this 100 mcg will help me to reduce weight or not. ## Hi, Sukh! Sorry about the health problem. No, you may not lose weight, it's very rare for that to happen while on this medication. Most people that take it do still have a weight issue, though it doesn't usually cause gain. Learn more Thyronorm details here. Have you discussed it with your doctor? They may have other ideas that could help. ## Im 27 years old nd my weight is 75 nd 5.5 height.

Is there any anti-depressants available that actually can make you loose weight and not gain? ## There's no pill that can make you lose weight. Weight loss comes from calories in and calories out. If you are not eating properly and exercising on a regular basis then it is not the pills fault for having a negative effect on your weight. Surely the drug may have an effect on your metabolism, but this is to a small degree if you cover all the other basis of your health; including but not limited to: Adequate hydration throughout the day Plenty of fruits and vegetables Low fat consumption Exercising at least 3 days a week Adequate rest and sleep schedule Loving others around you and enjoying life Essentially, if you are missing any one of these factors, you will be more prone to experie...

I HAVE TO USE TO PREVENT DIALYSIS WHILE MY GFR IS 24 NOW ## @Moody, From what I could gather, the generic name of Ketosteril is listed as "Ketoanalogues & essential amino acids".
