Well, when it comes to diet pills you should know that it would be wise to know the side effects of some of them especially if you suffer from any medical condition like diabetes, high blood pressure, have thyroid disease etc. or are taking any meds for these. Secondly, looking at the ingredient profile and acquainting yourself with the active ingredients would be a good idea as well.

Personally, I've done my share of diet pills, both prescription and otc. Only one that I tried ever did anything for me both in combination with exercise and a slightly reduced calorie diet). It was a product called Oxitrim. I was upstate NY last year for thanksgiving with my mom and she got this flyer in the mail and I was sorting through the junk and for some reason this one stood out. It was obviously targeted at women and claimed to be designed specifically for women yada yada... but it stood out because it provided some information on a bio process that I am very familiar with (I'm an exercise physiologist by prof). I remembered all the Cortislim **** that I bought into a few years ago but never thought someone would have thought to do a product like this. Long story short, I ordered the stuff which came with exercise and diet goods which were good but I didn't need and some cream or something like that. Followed the label directions with my personal program and have lost 26lbs (as of today). I'm not saying it's a miracle pill or anything but I've tried other products before and none have really helped to get here this quickly. I was also kinda happy to see that there's some people out there using their knowledge of biochemistry to do something new because I'm just tired of the same old stuff.

The sides-dry mouth, a little jitters but not to the extent that I've had with others like Zantrex. It did a bit of a number on my appetite too because I really wasn't eating that much and felt a little warm throughout the day and had to turn up the a/c a bit.IMO drink lots of water with any diet pill.
