i did a search and this is what i found...in my opinion, if you are currently trying to kick an addiction, i would be afraid to take these for fear of trading one addiction for another. as i said, just my humble opinion. ......http://www.skinnyondiets.com/Bontril.html?b=7924&GCID=C15771x279
         Bontril is the brand name of a medication called Phendimetrazine. This drug was originally designed as a weight medication, but is similar in chemical composition to an amphetamine. The medicine, stimulates the central nervous system (nerves and brain), which then increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Because Bontril is habit forming, the drug is only used as a short-term supplement to exercise and diet. It is important to note that you can become physically and psychologically dependent on this medication, and withdrawal effects may occur when you stop taking it. It is advised that you talk to your doctor about stopping this medication gradually. Side effects include: allergic reaction, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, very high blood pressure and abnormal behavior. If any weight is lost using Bontril, our research shows that it is usually regained shortly after the user discontinues the drug.

* Bontril products do not contain the wildly popular appetite suppressant Hoodia.
   sounds kinda scary to me.....cin
