You basically can't get an appetite suppressant without having side-effects to your heart and blood pressure.

This is why I haven't suggested you Wellburtrin or an amphetamine like Adderall. They will both increase your HT and BP, Adderall to a greater extant and Wellbutrin to a lesser extant.

There is currently no appetite suppressant that will work without affecting cardiovascular functions.

I tried that, was great in every way apart from major weight gain, two stone in about two months. Maybe that would've settled with time.
Wonder if the doc would give me it along with an appetite suppressant.
Have put a lot of weight on over the years with antidepressants.
Tried lots with either palps or major weight gain.
Setraline is great in every way apart from the irregular and fast pulse which are noted as serious so will consult my doctor soon.
Hoped it would subside with time.

Thanks.
