I’m beginning to think I have ADD … actually, I’ve suspected this all along. I cannot hold still long enough and constantly try new things. My trouble is I’m juggling a full time job, three kids ranging in ages of 11 months to 5 years to 19 years. Okay, the 19 year old helps a ton!
On top of trying Murad, I took a chance and I know I shouldn’t but tried the drug called rimonabant but ordered it from an Indian pharmacy (unknown it was in India until I received it). Apparently it’s sold under the name of Slimona but has rimonabant stamped on the blister pack. What is probaby special about this drug in terms of why you can get it from India is it’s an over the counter drug (OTC) and costs under a quarter per tablet. So when the online pharmacies are charging in excess of a hundred per “prescription,” they are making a huge profit. I was very leary given it was an overseas place and did my research to see if others had used this place and this drug and others had. I know it’s not the smartest thing to do but I did it anyway.
I took it today and my hunger isn’t as strong as normal but that could be due to a variety of different reasons and a few hours is too early to know. However, rimonabant is approved in European countries in a prescription form (20 mg) and has proven to help in weight loss in thie obese although suicidal tendencies and depression have been reported. Perhaps these people were already depressed .. not sure. The FDA has not approved this in the US for that very reason.
I will attempt to start using exercise with the regiment of the pills. I have been exercising for the past few months just infrequent due to tiredness and other demands.
UPDATE:
I actually became a little nervous trying a pill that was received from India. Not a problem coming from India so to speak but not knowing what their drug regulations are, I was worried about the safety. The blister packs looked identical to any picture I could find on the net but then I know these copycat drug businesses can do a lot to make a pill look like the real deal.
I ended up taking them and found I was getting headaches. Similar response to phentermine. I didn’t notice any real boost in energy or my appetite being curbed. The nasty side effects are suicidal thoughts which is why the FDA has not approved it in the US. This drug is available in Europe and is an OTC in India.
I’ve tried Alli but all that does is take the oil out of your food as there is no effect on curbing your appetite nor any energy boost.
So far, phentermine works the best from a prescription standpoint but unless you are obese, you can’t get it. My best diet advice as I lost 40 pounds in one year post pregnancy, exercise and watch those calories. Atkins is a good one too if you can stomach the plan. I always lose 20 lbs in the first two weeks but I also attribute it to lack of calories as the food is such a turn off especially if you are a repeat Atkins dieter. I’m one of those people who have always had to watch the weight and the struggles of weight loss are enormous especially in today’s soceity where size 5 is fat and size 0 is in.
