reductil tablets for help with weight loss

[tuna]

hi has anybody got any info on reductil do they help to control your appitite or is there anything similar? thanks

[curlylfim]

a friend takes them, so i know a little, just make sure you get them from the doctor, not from the net, as they have some serious side effects, which only affects a few people, like a large increase in blood pressure and heartbeat rate, which has to be monitered

[curlylfim]

ps apparently, another side effect, is a slight anti depressent, effect, and yes they do work, but can also cause crash wieght lost

How about eating less or more healthy, and combining it with some cardio-vascular excercise?

Without being abrupt, IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

I also know of someone who has been on reductil. They didn't lose any weight but became addicted to the pills. If anything, she ate more and gained more weight.

I am currently taking Reductil. I have lost 2 stone over a 4 month period which is a nice steady rate. However, under the supervision of my practice nurse, I increased the dose slightly as I felt the effects were wearing off. I have since suffered palpitations, increased heart rate although no rise in BP. At the moment my heart is beating hard and rapidly and it doesn't feel too nice. I have to decide to either lower the dose to it's original value or stop the drug altogether. I am swaying towards lowering the dose again as I feel that I have made good progress. If you decide to try it, please seek proper medical supervision and do not buy off the net. Hope this helps!

Well done Caz, that is fantastic! : )

Tuna, have you heard of Hoodia? I have posted a topic on B&S asking if anyone knows where to get hold of the genuine article as lot's of internet websites are selling fake stuff.

There was actually a BBC report on it:

Thanks for your concern Tuna. I've stopped the tablets today until I see the nurse again on Monday. Feeling fine now!
