Are over the counter diet pills safe for short term use?


Question:
I have been thinking about taking over the counter diet pills just to help get some excess fat off my belly from having a baby. Are these type of pills safe for short term use if i stop taking them when I get to my desired weight {only about 10 pounds off} or will I balloon right back up after i stop taking them. I already walk a lot {part of my job} and don't over eat, but just can't seem to get this extra flab off.

Answer:
Usually not. They elevate the heart rate and cause appetite imbalances which are not healthy. The only way out is to exercises and eat healthy...you know the blatant point everyone misses every time for some reason!!
no
They are safe - they just don't do anything at all. All are a scam.
Probably not. But then, I don't think any over-the-counter medication is safe for use.
depends on which one u are using and if you are allergic to something in the pills. I used to work for GNC and I have seen it happen. plus just because something is on the shelf doesnt mean its safe. we use to take stuff off the shelf right often because it wasn't safe for some people to take. Do your research on these products. don't depend on a sales person. they just want you money. Plus get a check up cause you have a condition and not know it yet. then the pills trigger it.
They dont work. Save your money. Eat less and exercise more that will do it.
These pills are not always well tolerated by everyone.
It depends on what shape your heart, circulation, kidneys, and your body's sugar metabolism [diabetes]
Be careful of this stuff.
Over the last 2 years I have tried numerous over the counter diet pills/fat burners with NO results!

About one month ago I heard about phentermine from someone who lost about 25 pounds in 2 months using phentermine 37.5 mg. Her cousin lost about 50 pounds in 3 months using it. Naturally I was interested in phentermine 37.5 mg and began to do some research on it. After my research I decided to give it a try.

Phentermine 37.5 mg works GREAT!!! So far in 3 weeks I have lost 18 pounds!!!

I ordered my phentermine (37.5 mg) from a website called US-Pills.com and received my order in 6 days. They do have express shipping if you want to receive your order sooner. I paid $199.00 for 90 pills, which is a 3 month supply. I know that sounds expensive, but I checked NUMEROUS web sites and this site seemed to have the best prices and also seemed to be a legit site. If you can get a prescription from your doctor it would be a lot cheaper. Unfortunately, my doctor refused to provide me a prescription because she said I was not obese and she only will prescribe phentermine to obese patients.

Since I've been taking my phentermine (37.5 mg) I've had great results. I feel like I'm melting. My closes are fitting loser and when I look at myself in the mirror after I get out of the shower I look and feel smaller.

I take 1 pill per day as soon as I get up in the morning. About 30 minutes later I go to the gym. I feel so energized and have the best workouts then I have had in a long time. I am able to work out longer and harder. I eat my breakfast when I get home from the gym. I'm not hungry all day and have no cravings for sweets or bad foods like I normally would before I started using phentermine. Because I no longer have the bad cravings I eat healthy small meals throughout the day. Since I'm not hungry anymore, I'm probably consuming about 800-1000 calories per day.

Phentermines is GREAT but, you should not use phentermine if you have or have ever had heart disease, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland), diabetes, glaucoma, or a history of drug abuse. As with any medication/drug it's always best to consult your doctor.

It's true that I've lost 18 pounds so far using phentermine 37.5mg and I'm sure I'll accomplish my goal if I continue to use it. But, I also truly believe that my working out, eating healthy and drinking lots of water has a lot to do with the weight loss results. I don't think I would get these results with the phentermine alone.

If you lose weight with phentermine or any other weight loss aide(s) or diet(s) and fail to exercise and eat healthy regularly you will gain the weight back and probably more!!!

Hope this was helpful and good luck in your weight loss success!!!
