I already have a diet planned, and am exercising. I just need a boost, I need to know what diet pill to use. Or even what vitamins could help.

I worked as a Dietician. There is some great advise here. Diet, exercise, drink plenty of water... If you don't lose weight slowly and consistently (keep in mind that we gain water monthly - then lose it) then you may have what Dr. Atkins calls, oh, I forget what he calls it! If that's the case then a modified Atkins may work well. I modify the diet for myself by using rye krisp and other carbohydrate stuff that I don't like much added in.

I've tried that atkins diet and failed at it, because it is too strict. I am just using a low calorie diet and exercising...

Hey!
I am in the same boat you are in! When I started my senior year I weighed like 130.. it was so awesome. But then I got on this acne medicine called Accutane and I had to get on birth control. So I got on the Depo shot, BIGGEST MISTAKE IN MY LIFE! In three months I gained almost 50 pounds. Then when I graduated I gained 15 more. It was horrible! I was dieting and excercising like a freakin football player but I lost only like 5 pounds. So I went to the doctor and I asked about any diet pills that actually work and that won't seriously kill my liver. He said there are like two. But he said he would only give them to me if I went and saw a nutritionist, so I did and we put together a diet plan and stuff and I agreed to not drink pop anymore. After I saw her, he gave me a prescription for Phentramine. My dad is a Pharmacist and he told me that it was in the same classification as Methanphetamine so it would make me feel weird the first couple days. But like j_9 said it sped up my heartrate so much! When I would be excercising my heartrate would be over 200. And I was just speed walking. Anyway he only prescribed them to me from the 1st of June till October. But I lost 45 pounds. All it did was make me not hungry for anything and speed up my heartrate. It was really scary though, I have thirty more pounds to lose and now I am ALWAYS hungry. I don't know if they would be a good way to do it. The doctor was really hesitant to even give them to me. So I don't know if you will be able to get some. But you can try. If you want I can copy the paper I used for my diet plan and stuff. But that's just if you want. Let me know what you end up doing! I'll try and help as much as I can. Good Luck!

I will be going to the doctor with this issue after Jan 1, as that is when my insurance kicks in... Thank you for the advice... Did he tell you what the name of the other one is? And how long ago was that? I took some diet pills a few years ago that had that chemical in them that they soon removed, (can't think of the name of it). And that's how it made me feel.

Thank you.

Oh and J_9, thank you for removing the riff raff from this page
