Do you know the name of what you are taking?

If it is prescription, who gave it to you?
Is it over the counter?

Diet pills are stimulants generally (definitely sound like what you have here) They will mess with your heart - as you are experiencing. Please stop taking them now before you end up with a heart attack, I am not joking.

What is your BMI? You say you're not overweight therefore you definitely shouldn't use these. The risk way outweigh the benefits.

Please take the time to read this

You are putting your life in danger.

You are not overweight... BMI is body mass index..

Here's a chart to use: Body Mass Index Chart

You have no reason whatsoever to be taking these pills. They will do you no good. Please stop taking them. All of these side effects are from simply taking the pill not abusing it. Imagine what would happen then.

You're beautiful. You don't need a diet pill. ;)

well i have been taking a diet pill over the counter recently. my leg went numb today i dont know if it a effect of the pill or not?? when i stand up i feel dizy and lightheaded. i only take one pill a day. well anyway since my leg is numb and it hurts i really wanted to take some advil but not sure if that will be good for me because my heart is already beating a little faster than usual, PLEASE HELP! :(

curlybenswife · Oct 18, 2007, 02:12 AM

EEEEERRRRRRR if you really are feeling like this then I suggest you take yourself either to see your dr or to hospital right now buying and taking any kind of diet pill is silly without your dr knowing so they can monitor you.

brookeleigh · Oct 18, 2007, 02:12 AM

thanks for the advice everyone though Im not sure what exactly to do..my leg is like numb right now and im in pain..idk if it is bad though to take advil considering my heart is already beating a little faster than normal?

brookeleigh · Oct 18, 2007, 02:14 AM

I can't it's like two in the morning here. Do you think it is ok for me to take advil pm to go to sleep? my heart is already beating a litle fast i dont know if that would be ok or not???

curlybenswife · Oct 18, 2007, 02:15 AM

Sorry Im not about to tell you to take anything I don't need a law suit thank you, you need to see a dr.

brookeleigh · Oct 18, 2007, 02:19 AM

a lawsuit? sorry I was just asking advice. but thanks for your help..

curlybenswife · Oct 18, 2007, 02:20 AM

Trust me you would be the first to scream and shout if you had some adverse effect from taking the advil with the way your feeling the only person who is going to be giving you medical advice is a dr, you are obviously having some serious adverse affeacts from this diet pill you need proper help not a yes or no from a total strainger hunn.

brookeleigh · Oct 18, 2007, 02:22 AM

well I was thinking a medicine expert would reply or someone who actually knows the advice they are giving. thanks anyway.

curlybenswife · Oct 18, 2007, 02:27 AM

Take your attitude away not even a med expert would be stupid enough to answer this when you are taking a no script drug that is obviously not agreeing with you use some common sense log of here and take yourself to the ER you really do need to see a dr I'm not going to scare the living crap out of you by telling you what your symptums mean to me but you Really need to see a dr.

brookeleigh · Oct 18, 2007, 02:29 AM

Well what do you think the symptums mean? I'm just reallllyyy clueless right now.

Go to the doctor. THere is no better advice. ANd sitting and waiting for some, won't help you any. I hope everything is fine. Please, go to a doctor.

Thanks, I stopped taking the pills and things are a lot better now!
