Hello, I am a 36 yo male who have been really active in the past but recently I have not been able to exercise as much, my wife just had a baby and I used the myth of gaining her baby fat. I am 5'9" 217lbs this is the most I have weight in my life. I am now trying to lose about 25-30lbs but as I got older this is really hard to do. I used to lose weight very fast when I was younger but now it is just so hard. My doctor prescribe me adipex, i am going to try it because I have tried everything from diet to exercise but nothing is working. I want to know what are some side affects from this drug and does it really work or just a something to destroy my health.....
Hello I’m a pharmacology student not a doctor but I can tell you it's generic name is phentermine it works in a similar way to amphetamines on the noradrenalin (norepinephrine) system to reduce you appetite. That is thought to be it’s main mode of action, although some others have been proposed. It is effective but it does have a lot of side effects so use it for a short time only, only as the doctor prescribes and check every other medication you might take with him first. I'm sure the doctor wouldn't have given it to you if you were at risk, but any problems you have don't hesitate to get in contact with him.
If you type it into a search engine loads of information will come up- but if you find any terms you want translated then just post again and I'll see if I can help.
ADIPPEX (Phentermine) is a stimulant similair to amphetamine, it's a appetite suppresant, which affect the central nervous system. The side effects are impaired thinking/reaction, you should not drink any alcohol, it is habit forming, so keep track of how many you take. There are withdrawal reactions after long term use. so check with your Doctor befor you decide to stop usage. You still need to diet, and exercise and portion control . There's alot of risk factors if you have high blood pressure,for instance. I realize your life isreally busy right now, but smaller portions of healthy low calorie foods, low sugar, low sodium, low fat foods, including whole grain breads, pastas, rice and cereals, lots of veggies, fruits, seeds and nuts, and leaner portions of meats, like skinless ckinen, turkey breast, fish, loin type meats with the 2-3 oz portion size, baked or broiled in canola or olive oil, will help you so much. Cut out fast foods, fatty foods, sweets, like cakes, cookies, salty snacks like chips and presweetened drinks like colas. Drink lots of water especially before meals, slowly losing weight and fat % will give you a more permanent loss that will last with life changes. Exercise is very important, walk the baby for 30 minutes, something this simple will help alot, if you can do overall body exercises or workinto this in time 3-4 X a week, 30 minutes per session you will see great results, .....in time, it takes time and patience.
