Bluesapphire, from your listed symptoms I'm gonna take a stab at saying that whichever diet pills you took (assuming they were an OTC dietary supplement) contained either one or a combination of stimulants like caffeine,ephedra or another ingredient like yohimbine. These ingredients can cause the tachycardia that you experienced and the general feeling that you are about to die...

If ever you decide try a diet pill product again, ensure that they contain no stimulants. A really effective stimulant free one that I know of is a product called Zappetite (yeah I know the name's cheesy) made by Thermolife . My sister suffers fthe same side effects from stim-based diet pills and she takes these. It cut her appetite quite a bit, gave her a bit of energy and she's lost and managed to keep off about 20lbs. It contains OEA and Hoodia. It's worth a google. Also, Alli might be worth a try but if it's anything like it's parent drug Xenical, you'll want to always be near a bathroom

Well I got my redusyn today, I decided to start with them tomorrow morning with my breakfast. I just cleaned out my cupboards and fridge of all junk food and tomorrow after breakfast I am going shopping for alot of fruits and healthy stuff. I could use some ideas for stuff to eat that makes you feel full, or good stuff to snack.

Day 1**** weight 225 lbs*** Well today is the beginning of my weight loss plan. Took my first redusyn pill, took it with my breakfast of 1 slice of whole wheat bread with cottage cheese on it and a low fat joghurt. I plan to take a walk after each meal, I bought alot of fruits and low calorie foods yesterday, there is no junk food anymore in my house, it use to be full of it. I am going to spoil myself and take a nice bubble bath with candles on.

the best thing to do is talk to your doctor.

I have talked to my doctor before I decided to take a diet pill, I also promissed him that I would have regular check ups, I just had a check up last week, and he said I could try it. As soon as I notice any side effects, then I will quit. Took my second pill this morning and my day went well (and I didn't eat so Much) YAHOO !

heres one for you girls, ORLISTAT, this will definately make you loose weight, i got it proscribed from the doctor 6 months ago, and it really does work, with in 1 week i lost 5kgs, and thats no lie, but of course i was eating proper meals 3 times a week, so i guessed that helped me also, i kept taking the pills for 2 months, then i stopped taking them, i lost 3 stone 7 pounds with in that time, but i just couldnt stand taking them any longer, i will tell you why, for all those girls that dont know how these pills work this is how, you take a pill with your breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and what it does is, it takes a percentage of the fat from the food, away from the rest of the food in the stomach, and it comes out of your bum, it really does work, but every time you go to the toilet, to do you know what, oily yellow orangie stuff comes out aswell, this is just the fat, but it is really horrible, i never had any side effects at all with this pill, but i just couldnt stand the discharge any longer, no matter how healthy you eat, the pill will always find some kind of fat to produce, you can buy these pills on the internet reasonable, but i really wouldnt reccommend it, as you just dont know what could be in these pills, they could just be all fakes, i would go to the doctor and tell them about your weight problem and really lay it on thick for the doctoe, cause there really not keen on giving them to any one cause there so expensive, but if you really want to loose weight its worth ago,

Day 3**** This is getting better all the time, I feel great today and was hardly hungry. Tomorrow I am going to jump on the scale, hope I see something I like. I am going to start riding my bike more often, I need to do more exercises, but what?? I am sure I will find something, but what is good to do, so that you can burn up calories.

Hi everybody!
I was on a vacation and therefore I wasn't able to write any posts in here. But now I am back and willing to bother you again *lol*
So it seems like you have already started to take redusyn. Have you already lost any weight? And have you experienced any side effects?
