Okay, I started out on Adipex about one month ago, Along with the once a day pill I also received a B12 Shot Once a week, Stuck to Hard Core Weight Watchers (Points counting) and exercise 4-6 days per week.
Well, After the first week, I lost around 6 lbs. I was feeling GREAT and doing well. I didn't have too many side effects at all with the Adipex. But then the next few weeks rolled around and each week I went for my B12 shot in which I get weighed in....ummm WEIGHT GAIN anyone?!!!! I have been SOOO freaking bummed because I feel like I am spending MASSIVE amount of Money, Time and ENERGY all for NOTHING! For a MONTH!.......SO in that, The Doc Switched me to Bontril 150MG (Slow Release Capsule/Once a day)
Now, just as a pre-cursor, I HAVE slacked here and there just a bit (but please note that only one year ago I went on extreme Weightwatchers for only 5 out of the 7 days of each week and lost 3-5 lbs. PER week on THAT alone...No exercise there or diet pills or anything!)....NOW I am doing EVERYTHING combined with crap results! SORRY back to it...Granted I WAS sick this pas weekend....
I started the Bontril on Friday (I thought it was because of this severe cold), but I felt SO AWFUL! It DID Suppress my appetite, however along with that I would have severe stomach pain (PANGS surging through my tummy) Almost like severe hunger. So in my mind I didn't care to eat, but my stomach was telling me otherwise! So I would shove something down just to surpress it. Along with the Awesome feeling, I also became VERY shaky off and on through out the day and even worse had the WORST Hot Spells (Cold sweats)...I mean EXTREME sweating) from something as simple as walking across the room! Can you imagine how embarrassed I became in Wal-Mart for 1.5 hours?! I was DRENCHED in Cold Sweat, Paler than ever with Super Rosy cheeks!
Then I realized the patteren. All os these thngs happened when I started the Bontril (again I thought maybe it was the cold....but now Im thinking not so much). Just to test (today is Monday) I took an Adipex instead of the Bontril. and guess what....the cold is there and the Side Effects are NOT!
HERES THE DILEMMA!!!!
I weighed today and the Bontril is CLEARLY working after only being on it for 3 days!!! Ive already lost weight! So I want to continue at least until thursday and then perhaps another week to see how much more effective it will be...but I dont know if I could LIVE through all of that! Has ANYONE had similar experiences?! Do you think they might pass once my body adjusts to the meds? Ill take anything here!
Sorry so long! and BTW, yes I do take quite a few meds daily and some that you re NOT supposed to take with these diet pills....but I figured since the Adipex was fine...what could a similar pill do much different?!...HELP! And BTW, I'll be back Thursday to report the first official Bontril Weigh in!...Back on Bontril tomorrow....EEEE!:confused:
