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.

What can I do next?

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!

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.

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 know you didn't ask for this but I'm going to put in my two cents anyway. You can use diet pills but bottom line is.......you HAVE TO CREATE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE that includes consistent healthy eating and exercise. If you need help with that, let me know. That's what I do for a living.

Diet pills can help you get there, but what happens when you go off them? In addition, what kind of side effects are we talking about? You NEED to know this kind of stuff. I KNOW immediate results are what everyone wants, but you HAVE to think long term, as well.

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

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

i have had problems with my weight for a long time. i don't eat junk food & i excersize everyday but i could only manage to lose 2-4lbs only to gain it back after i started my period. i talked to my doctor & he said to use a colon-cleanser & then start taking ACAI BERRY suppliments. that was monday of last week & i have already lost 18 lbs. i was 181 & now i'm 163. even though my husband & kids have given me the flu a few days ago, i don't feel as aweful as i have in the past. ACAI BERRY is also packed full of antioxidents, it is currently being tested in the use of curing some types of lukemia cancer with great success. and to those who just jumped into this assuming that S. was looking for an easy way out, SHAME ON YOU!...there are ALOT of people out there who simply changing their diet & excersizing aren't simply enough, I know cause i'm one of them! there are also alot of overweight people who can't help be that way because of thyroid diseases & disorders. ya'll should think about that before you just go jumping off the cart next time.

I see you had a big response -- weight loss is a pretty hot topic. I am in agreement with the moms who are leary of diet pills. I have taken them (long time ago) and the side effects and long term results are not good. I help women choose vitamins that help with metabolism, cravings and muscle retention when dieting. I have an ad in Member Perks: Shaklee Health Products. you can contact me if you want more info. here is my website:
