Thyroids checked out, no explanation for weight loss; over 15 lbs in less than 5 months. Muscles seem to be deteriorating, very weak. Any ideas, anyone? ## Hi Lillianna, There could be many factors that might be attributing to this unexplained weight loss. In the past 5 months, you had to have done something/anything differently to experience such a drastic change in weight without you noticing/trying. - What's your diet like? Are you eating regular meals throughout the day and "suddenly" changed your eating habits or overall caloric intake? - Have you been exercising regularly? - Have you been taking any new medications or supplements? - Are you experiencing more stress on a daily basis than what your body is comfortable with? Those are just some of the things I can think o...

I was on qsymia for 6 weeks and lost 6 lbs in that time. My doctor didn't have it researched and decided to quit my program on it because he didn't want me on a life long perscription. this was crazy to me b/c it was not only working but would have been less than have the straight doses of 37.5mg of phentermine i had been on for 6 month intervals in the past. ## Well, any weight loss medication should only be used for a short period of time, until weight loss is achieved, none of them should be used life-long. They should be combined with diet and exercise, so once the medication is discontinued, the weight loss can be maintained with normal healthy lifestyle habits. Learn more Qsymia details here. It's going to be very hard to find a doctor that will disagree with that and ...

Has anyone taken Redotex lately and if so, what side effects have you experienced? I was taking Phentermine prescribed by the doctor, but my doctor died so I was not able to get them any longer. Started taking Phentermine from Mexico but was told Redotex was better. I am just afraid of the side effects of the medication. ## Actually, I'd suggest staying away from the Redotex, the FDA has actually issued an alert with customs to be on the lookout for them, if searching or checking anyone's luggage or vehicles, because it is one of several diet medications from Mexico that have been found to contain dangerous combinations of drugs. Their said to contain an unusual form of Pseudoephedrine, Atropine and possible several others, as well. The Phentermine is probably the safest option....

I need product information leaflet as Phentek is not registered in South Africa, where can I get it? ## I'm happy to help! Phentek contains the active ingredient Phentermine, which is a psychostimulant that's most commonly used to aid in weight loss. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, anorexia and insomnia. Learn more Phentek details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

I would like to place an order for adipex 37.7 ml ## If your intent is to order medications that require a prescription, such as Adipex (Phentermine), then there is really no guaranteed safe and legal way to do so here in the U.S. outside of the standard "doctor-visit" procedures. In my opinion, there are many more hazards involved when you order online from a non-legitimate site; such as not receiving what you ordered and just being scammed out of your money, or getting something that isn't even the medication you ordered (and you end up accidentally taking it). All I'm really saying is that their not required under any law or jurisdiction to actually give you what you pay for. Do you need help finding a doctor in your area that will write you a script? ## I agree with ...

wieght control ## I think you mean Xenical ## That would also be my guess. Xenical contains the active ingredient Orlistat, it helps block fat absorption to aid in weight loss and it available over the counter under the brand name Alli. However, it must be used with a low-calorie, low-fat diet to work properly and to avoid stool leakage. You can learn more Xenical details here. Are there any questions or comments?

I recently started to take phentermine 30 but the pill is like a yellow capsile with black lettering that say lannett 1310 I cant find any phentermine pills that look like mine any answers to what it is ## This is listed in the U.S. prescription drug databases and that's exactly what it is, a 30mg Phentermine capsule. Where did you obtain them? Since you said you're new to taking it, here's a link to learn more Phentermine details here. ## I got them from my weight loss clinic but it just didnt look like phentermine to me but thank you ## I took those several years ago.

If you need Adipex 37.5 go visit {edited for spam} he wil...

can adipex-p come in different shapes and color and size from different distributors? ## Yes they can. The different mfg. companies and make them any way they choose. The best way to know for sure you are getting the right thing you should get them from a licensed medical provider. Give my doctor a try and he will help you reach your weight loss goal. Dr. {edited for spam}. He is the best around and he has been doing his weight loss program well over 15 years. He really knows his stuff when it comes down to losing weight!

What is the shape of your pill? If you can provide me with a more detailed description I can definitely do my best to find an exact match. Thanks!

diet pill ## How does banatal work? what are the side effects? How much does it cost? ## @G-man, According to Livestrong.com, Banital contains a combination of herbs, including phaseolamin, banana leaf, gymnema sylvestre, and citrus aurantium. Some of the ingredients in Banital could possibly support weight loss. Whether Banital leads to weight loss is unclear. Clinical data to support most of the manufacturers claims are lacking. Some of the herbs in Banital have the possibility to cause side effects on their own, such as: headache, restlessness and upset stomach. There are no studies examining the safety and efficacy of taking that combination of herbs together. Citrus aurantium, better known as bitter orange, can have potentially serious side effects, especially when combined with ca...

I took sibrutamine and it did an amazing job. I was losing weight fast and lost 30 pounds in no time loved the results. Though I started having headaches and dry mouth but i was still ok with that since I loved the results. But then I started getting abdominal pain which resulted in liver problems, jaundice, and gal stones all because of the pills. The worst side effects is now I have really high blood pressure all begining when i took sibrutamine. Do not take them. ## Hi Marv, Thanks for your input! It's very important that others know the dangers of weight loss pills such as Sibrutamine. Pills are nice and all to help get a temporary kick start on working out daily, but what happens when you can't get the pills you need or desire or more importantly, what if they start giving ...

red capsule says (Max!) on it ## This red capsule is Hydroxycut Max!, designed for women and delivers 300 mg of caffiene per day! Unless you want to get frazzled and go on rampages do not take this. I researched it after my sister's behavior had changed and I found the capsules in her purse. She hates exercise, but, unfortunately drugs that make you edgy, impatient, and mean are not the answer to that. ## That is very good to know, thank you trish. I've never heard of this product and likely wouldn't have been able to find an identification. And yes, that high of an amount of Caffeine can really throw some people off and I am sorry that your sister had a bad experience with it. If anyone is unfamiliar with it, they can read more Caffeine details here. Hydroxycut MAX! does co...

fish oil ## Just to add details for anyone else looking... From what I've found, the name brand of this product is actually Lovaza. Fish Oil is a supplement that they are well known for and it is available from various retailers, both online and off. Fish Oil is used to provide Omega 3 Fatty Acids, they cannot be synthesized by our bodies, but are essential to our health, so they have to be taken in from our diets, or by taking such supplements. Are there any other questions I can help with? More Omega 3 Fatty Acid details can be found here.

A257 an their is a slash inbetween the 2 an the 5 it's blue an oblong shape ## The only tablet that I've been able to find with this marking is an oval white tablet, with blue specks that contains Phentermine, which is used to aid in weight loss. Where was it found? I'm wondering if the company may have changed the tablet, or if it's a foreign medication? Can you also double check the imprint, please? And here are more Phentermine details if anyone wants to learn more about it.

only half a pill found in the waitng room of dr.s office has what looks like a d and a y on it with a small lightning bolt any ideas? ## Hi Jess, I found two potential matches to your description. The first one can be viewed by clicking here. It has a lightning bolt logo on one side, but I haven't seen a photo of the other side to determine whether or not there are any other markings. The second pill I found is a white oblong shaped tablet. This one appears to have a circle one side with what looks like a lightning bolt or a "Y" even, going straight through the center of the circle. You can view a photo by running a google images search for "hydroxycut white pill" to see if this fits your description. I hope this info helps!

is it safe to use them together also with topramate ## No, Sertraline and Phentermine should not be taken together, they are known to increase the toxicity of each other, which can cause a possible life threatening reaction. Has your doctor instructed you to take all of them?

i know at least 25 women that were on this medication and none of them had any of the heart problems that claim to be a side effect? I believe it was the mircle drug for obese people and it helped thousands of overweight people. I also beleive that the pharmacutical companys would have lost Billions of dollars if this drug helped cure diabetes, high blood pressure ectt.... just think if no one had overweight issues? theywould lose Billions of dollors and that would have shut down alot of companys, besides how it would affect drug and hospitals. NO more money because all the obese people would not need all that other medication there on due to the weight? ## Are you referring to Phentermine? If so, it is still available by prescription in the U.S. Learn more Phentermine details here. I k...

Hello, I was wondering if I should or could start taking Phentermine to help w/ my weight loss? I am currently taking prescription meds, Keppra 1500 mg twice daily, Lamictal 50 mg twice daily, Topamax 100 mg twice daily, Vistaril 50 mg twice daily & Zoloft 25mg twice daily. I'm also taking raspberry ketones 1000 mg twice daily. Does anyone have ideas or suggestions? ## When it comes to weight loss, the best advice I can offer is that it really depends on how strong your deep inner desire is to lose the weight. By taking medications/supplements that are marketed as fat burners, you are essentially telling yourself that you can't lose weight on your own free will and determination. You have to literally have a burning desire to lose weight and take action each and everyday tha...
