Prescription Diet Pills
Ok moms; What prescription diet pills have you been taking? I have been taking Meridia but I am wondering if there is something out there that might be better.

My husband has tried Meridia several times, along with exercise, and NOTHING. We went to the Cleveland Clinic yesterday to discuss an aggressive weight loss program with one of their nutricianists. They promise we'll never be hungry, but there's no fruit, pasta, bread, rice, or milk. We'll see :) Good luck to you!

With the uncertainty of diet pills I think it is important for me to tell you that there isn't a diet pill that will do the impossible. It is a matter of finding the life changing way to eat. I know because I and my hubby have done it. We are in the health and wellness industry with the #1 weight management program out there. It cost is about $10 a day and once you have reduced to where you want to be you then maintain your weight. It also saves you from losing muscle and is very simple to do. YOU ARE NOT hungry during the process. It's very cool! www.livingwithsolutions.com Take a look and for sure let me know. Seriously it is NOT about the latest diet pill. Be Careful

Adipex is what I have used- and I love it. Most Drs will not prescribe it unless they feel like you are obese. becareful though- you can loose too much too quickly. Be sure to get your calories in- as it is easy to go days without eating. I have to force myself to eat just to sure to get some calories in. Most importantly, without a lifestyle change it will not stay off and could be harmful to your body.
(Although I am not trying to loose any more weight, I still use half tablets from time to time to maintain my desired weight.)
As long as you use it as a tool, along with good nutrition and exercise- you will be very sucessful. It does come in a generic. At costco, it costs under 16 dollars. BTW, you do not have to be a member of costco to use their pharmacy. When you go inside Costco- tell them you are going to the pharmacy- then they will let you by. Of course, they will place things you want along the way to the pharmacy- in hopes that you buy a membership..and I love my membership!
Good luck& God Bless!

In my opinion, diet pills are not the way to go -- the dieting mindframe just doesnt' work to keep of the weight. If you're ever interested, my company has a program that is simple, inexpensive, natural/healthy, and WORKS. Also, 30-day money back guarantee on everything. Wish you the best, but be careful with the prescriptions!

Hi S., I have taken several kinds of diet pills and always gained back what I had lost. Now I am taking the Acai Berry and in two months have lost 20 pounds and feel so much better. I first bought the one advertised on TV which is free 15 pills just for the shipping but if you don't cancel in the 15 day's they charge you an extra $79.99 so keep that in mind if you do go that way. Now I am taking the same Berry from Puritans Pride and it is soooo much cheaper and is doing the same job. Good Luck on whatever you choose. This Berry is to give you energy + diet capsule

Why diet pills in the first place? There are way too many dangerous and/or unpleasant side effects, and the long-term results aren't all that great.

I got phentermine 37.5 mg from a dr. It is generic for adipex. Moved away from dr, so I order it online now from easybudgetrx.com now. It is cheaper from walmart but dr visit was 70 bucks a month. A 30 day supply is 130 online but I've loved it. Lost weight pretty fast and it is an appetite depressant. First week, take a tylenol pm til u get used to it, hard to sleep at first. Hope it helps

Maybe my case manage at welfare isn't crazy. I was asking if there was any way we could get additional aid while we wait for disibility to be awarded. She told me if we have more children we can get more money. I had my tubes tied when my bay was born but that was back in 82. I thought that would be too far of a gap. With my health right now I don't know if I would survive labor and delivery. My boys were 7.5 years apart I guess that wasn't too far.
