The other side has what appears to be a maze line labrinith possably a p in the middle of cicular lines ## Hi, George! Where did you find it? Some products are regional, so knowing the general location may help to narrow it down. I've been searching for this off and on ever since I first saw your post, but I've had no luck so far and I was sure that such an unusual imprint would result in something turning up. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## Did you ever find out what type of pill it was? ## I have what sounds exactly what you've described. i refilled my script of diazepam/valium 10mg when i ran out in tj bc (mexico) they put them in my old bottle out of a box that contains 20 witch are packaged in square foil like sheets witch you have to push hard to get each pi...

How long after taking Contrave can I have a coffee? I usually drink one as soon as I get up and one more in a day. It says avoid significant amounts of caffeine, but what does this mean exactly? ## It is always best to double check with your doctor, or pharmacist, but generally two cups of regular coffee would not be considered a significant amount of caffeine. Significant amounts would be akin to drinking quite a few cups, emptying the coffee pot, drinking energy drinks, and caffeinated sodas, in addition to your coffee. Contrave contains Bupropion, and Naltrexone, and the Bupropion tends to have a stimulating effect in some people that take it, so side effects may include nausea, dizziness, nervousness, mood changes, irritability, restlessness, and insomnia, which is the reason for th...

I have a spouse who has been a patient at an area Weight Loss MD clinic for many years. She has been on and off Phentermine throughout that time. I spoke to two representatives at Weight Loss MD and was very dismayed to learn that their physicians would not necessarily withhold prescribing Phentermine to a long-term alcoholic. Alcoholism is considered to be a drug addiction. My spouse has been abusing alcohol since she took her first drink, about 40 years ago. Just as disconcerting is the fact that my wife is not obese, yet she recently obtained another Phentermine prescription from a physician at her local Weight Loss MD clinic. There is reason to believe the drug is primarily being used for purposes other than weight loss. I have also observed acute signs of "phen rage" in my ...

When does it stop working as well as an appetite suppressant and why does your weight loss slow down? ## Hello, Lauren! How are you? Our bodies eventually get used to any medication that we take regularly for a long period of time, which causes them to stop working as well for us. There's no precise time frame that can be given though, because it can vary from person to person. Regardless of the method used to lose weight, there is almost always a plateau that you hit, at some point. Your body also gets used to whatever you're doing to spur it, such as a medication, or exercise and weight loss can slow down, unless you change something to ramp it back up, such as changing your exercise routine, your diet, or the medication that you're taking. The FDA lists Qysmia's typic...

Can I find Preludin in progressive mexico? ## Hi Michelle, Based on my research, Preludin (phenmetrazine) was actually discontinued a long time ago because of its wide spread abuse. I don't know if there's anything else like it on the market in Mexico, but you could always contact the manufacturer (Boehringer Ingelheim) directly for more specific details involving the availability of something similar. Medications like Phentermine are also in the same drug class as Preludin (known as phenethylamine). If you're facing any challenges with your weight, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to find a doctor who would prescribe it here in the US. So that may be something to consider as well if you're unable to find left over boxes of Preludin anywhere. I hope this helps! ...

This is my second day taking Acxion. It is 1:39 am and I can't sleep. Is this a side effect or something else? By the way I filled a prescription for Acxion in Mexico, is the same quality, because is the same lab. ## Yes, Phentermine/Acxion has been known to have a stimulating effect on most people that take it, so the FDA lists its side effects as possibly including headache, nausea, dizziness, insomnia, and nervousness. Ref: Phentermine Information Combining with anything caffeinated can worsen the effect. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was taking only 2 contrave pills in the morning for a couple of months. My last dosage was yesterday which was Monday. I'm having cosmetic surgery in two days which is Thursday. Is it safe to have surgery? I wasn't aware of any dangers with Contrave & surgery. I wasn't on this medication when I initially had my consult. Please help.. I'm worried. ## Has your surgeon provided any instructions regarding medications you should not take, before your surgery? Due to the Naltrexone in Contrave, some pain medications may not work for you, it usually takes about 3 days, after stopping the medication, for them to work, again. The FDA warns that this medication may cause other side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, mood changes, and anorexia. ## Hello! To be hone...

I have never had Kratom before, but plan to go to the Kava bar for New Years. Will it hurt me since I’ve been taking Contrave for six days now? ## I wouldn't take any chances. ## Kratom is in the Coffee Familiy, and has been used for CENTURIES by indigenous Peoples. It tastes bad, but NO ONE has over overdosed, or died from it. The stuff sold in head shops is usually garbage. I tried a couple of different strains, and it litterally did nothing to me. My Brother-in-Law is an exercise freak, and He swears by Kratom. ## My friend has advised me to try Kava, so I'm currently looking for a good place for it. Any recs, guys? ## Hey there. It's cool that your friend put you onto Kava. It's a pretty chill way to unwind after a long day. I've tried it a few times myself...

where can i order these on linee ## Dinintel contains the active ingredient Clobenzorex. It's pretty much banned a lot of countries due to its severe side effect profile. If you must know though, Asenlix (another brand name for Clobenzorex) is marketed by Aventis in Mexico. So you would essentially have to go there to obtain it and hope that you can bring it back through customs. I believe that it may also be available in Canada as well. Might I ask why you would want to take something that can wreak havoc on your body? There is little research available on Clobenzorex, which makes using this drug all the more risky. ## Were can I order these pills ## I live in Trinidad & Tobago and i need to loss eighty pounds can you please help me find dinintel ## They have stopped importing ...

I had Dunkin donuts english muffin sandwich with burger king's small hashbrowns and a small sweet tea (dunkin donuts). Contrave says no high fat meals. So is it safe to take my one pill now? Or should I give it an hour, eat a Banana then take it? I definitely don't want to have a seizure! I'm freaking out. ## It's actually hard to say, but yes, there is a risk of them occurring. The higher the dose of Bupropion, the greater the risk of experiencing a seizure.. a high amount of fat may cause your body to retain higher amounts of Bupropion, which in turn, could potentially cause you to experience a seizure, as reported under the FDA provided potential side effects. While it most likely contains sugar, the sweet tea most likely did not contain any fat, unless they did somet...

I ate a high fat meal (stuffed baked potato) tonight and am wondering when it is safe to take my evening dose of Contrave. All the warnings say is do not take with a high fat meal. Well, how long do you have to wait? There is no information on that! Has anyone heard? ## Hello, MrsMeck! How are you? Have you tried asking your doctor? Unfortunately, I'm only finding the same thing you are, not to take it with a high fat meal, but no specific time frame. Taking it with a high fat meal creates the risk of seizures. Other typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness and anorexia. Does anyone know more? ## I spoke to a consultant at Takeda today and they recommended that I call my dr. But the problem would be that the doctor wou...

I found expired Phentermine in my bedroom. They must be at least 3 years old. Are they still good? ## While I do agree that certain medications are actually okay to take after expiration, there are others such as antibiotics that can become toxic. The only real way to know how long phentermine can maintain its potency after expiration would be to have it lab tested periodically. Fortunately for us, according to Harvard University’s Medical Center, “Most of what is known about drug expiration dates comes from a study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration at the request of the military. With a large and expensive stockpile of drugs, the military faced tossing out and replacing its drugs every few years. What they found from their study is that 90% of more than 100 drug...

I have been tapering off Phentermine for months now. I went from 37.5 mg a day to 30 mg a day for a month, then to 15 mg a day for a month, then 15 mg every other day for a month. I have three more weeks left and I'm getting worried about what's happening. Feeling hungry, a little gain, but it's under control, for now...). Has anyone else gone through this coming off of Phentermine and how did it go for you overall? ## I have never been on this medication, so I can't speak from person experience. However, I can tell you that when stopping a medication, it can be normal to experience some rebound effects, according to FDA reports, along with hunger, they might include cravings, loss of energy, and headache. Ref: Phentermine Information How are you doing, now?

I'm visiting Mexico and can't find anything stating if Redotex is allowed into Canada from Mexico. ## Hi Ralph - I think that if you present it correctly you should be able to bring it back into Canada. There are a few speculations according to Canada Customs & Health Canada. First, do they sell Redotex over the counter out there, or would you be getting a prescription filled from a Mexican pharmacist or doctor? I'm going to include a bunch of information below that I found while researching the Canadian Gov't websites. I think the key takeaway is that if this is a prescription-only medication, you may need to provide documentation that it was prescribed to you and indicate that it is for your own personal use. Plus you can't bring too much of it back (1 course a...

I take Verapamil for high blood pressure and was recently prescribed Phentermine. Are they safe to take together? ## There is nothing listed against using them together, however, your doctor should be keeping a close eye on your blood pressure while you are using the Phentermine, since it is an Amephetamine class medication and can cause blood pressure issues for some people. Side effects can include: nausea, irritability, headache and insomnia. Have these both been prescribed by the same doctor? ## So I was on Phentermine since the end of October and had to stop taking it because my blood pressure went up. I still had half a bottle and a refill gone to waste. Has anyone else experienced this? So bummed.

I have been taking Phendimetrazine for 8 years gradually increasing my dose as needed, having no idea how dangerous this medication can be. It's gotten so bad I started seeing multiple medical clinics each month just to get enough to feel normal. I was up to 18 a day and decided I had to stop. Over the past 5 months, I have been trying to stop and have been unable to. When I do stop, I have no energy, constantly want to crawl out of my skin and the emotional pain is too much to bear. I know I HAVE to stop and i'm starting to feel rehab might be the only way, which I don't want to do. I'm so scared at how hard this grip is on me and I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any experience with successfully withdrawing after getting in this deep?? ## Hi, Bec! Wow, I am...
