My Question is a toughy, I have been a diet pill user for a couple of years, and I mean strong user. I stayed wired up and high most of the time to stay high and clean and stay focused and clean all the time. I had some people that of course knew me well was concerned that I was killing myself, (I would take sleeping pills at night to go to sleep because I was so wired up), so they I feel did something to me, I'm uncertain as to what. Reason being, I can pop 10 diet pills now and I couldn't get high for nothing, my pulse rate is in the high 80's, it used to be 113 or so. Something is not right. Could they have possibly hooked something up to my central nervous system, I'm uncertain what they did. But there is no way I would not get a high.

You are used to diet pills and they will not give highs anymore and sometimes they will not raise your heart rate. This is tolerance to diet pills. You are escaping real life into highs by taking diet pills. You are dependent on diet pill, whose side effect, insomnia, gave you another dependency on sleeping pills. Never escape again. Go to a psychiatrist to detoxify yourself and face reality. In the meantime, you can taper off your diet pill and sleeping pills.
