Heart palpitations caused by phentremine diet pills.....

[PGB]

My sister has been taking phentremine diet pills that she bought off the internet without a prescription.  No one knew she was taking them.  She was even taking them behind her husband's back.  Now she is really sick.  Anybody else get sick after taking them?  The most disturbing of her symptoms is heart palpitations.  



Would appreciate hearing from anyone else who has had problems after taking these drugs.

They must be ok, because there is a big ad for them right at the top of this page.

We are so sorry to hear that your sister is seriously ill.



As with all drugs (prescription and over-the-counter) people can have serious adverse reactions. In the case of Phentermine it has been known to cause palpitations in some people for quite some time.  So has Ephedra and even products containing caffeine.



Purchasing products off the Internet can be wonderful, as long as people know precisely what they are getting and from whom. Products manufactured in the US must meet stringent regulatory and quality standards.  Products manufactured elsewhere in the world may not even come close to US standards.



Again, we are sorry about your sister.  We hope that you will be sure to let her doctor know precisely what she has been taking, so that the doctor has a complete understanding of her history and current situation!

One of the main things with ordering online is to know your body first and if anything out of the ordinary happens to stop taking the medication immediately and see your doctor....it will be helpful to also take the doctor a sample of the pills.  



Phentermine is a prescribed drug for the same reason, you need to be monitored by a doctor...because it can cause high blood pressure etc.  You can only be somewhat safe ordering online if you are in tuned with your body you can tell if the medication is affecting you in a negative way.



The normal side effects for Phen is dry mouth, loss of appitite, racing heart and insomia....most of these side effects go away in a couple of days and shouldn't concern you.



Heart Palpitations are not normal for Phen.  Your sister needs to see a doctor.

If the side effect includes a racing heart, that is palpitations. Palpitations is the medical word for a racing heart. Most diet pills as well as caffeine has a side effect of palpitations (racing heart).

From the sound of her post, It sounds like her sister has a very severe case which is why I seperated to two......for the majority of people the symptom of a racing heart when taking Phen just feels like a slightly elevated heart rate, no different than when you exercise, they definately would not be REALLY SICK.  Its sounds like her heart is really going at it.



Either way......if she is really sick she needs to see a doctor

There is a company sending or spaming email offers, free trials for 15 day sample of Phentrazine 37.5. They ask for your banking or credit card info to bill you for delivery charges only. Small Print: once you give bank or CC info they will charge your account for 149.95 20 days later automatically. Please don't get caught in this scam!! Many have.. you could read further if you google ripoff reports or Pure Energy Prod.

By the way the company also sends out email under Thin Tabs...Beware

sorry to hear of her condition. Ordering online is convenient, but not always safe. Do you know the website she ordered from? It is possible that she may have been prescribed pills that were not FDA approved and/or possibly "man made" to be a cheap imposter of the true drug. There are fake dr's and pharmacies online. Buyer beware! When the product is from an unknown or illegitimate source, who the hell knows what we are really putting into our bodies. Anyone can set up a website and claim to be legit, when in fact these people are making a "killing" by selling low grade Pharmaceuticals.

THE BIG SECRET TO LOSING WEIGHT IS VEGTABLES.  DON'T TAKE PILLS, EAT YOUR VEGGIES!!!!!

[reasonseason]

There really isn't a secret.  Appetite has to be supressed with self-discipline.  Eat vegetables instead of chocolate cake every day.  You are what you eat.  I know that once we've succombed to our overwhelming appetites all winter, or even all year long, the weight we want to lose seems insurmountable.  We just have to slowly, but surely, make the right choices consistently.  Once in awhile, you can still splurge, but not all the time.  That's what got us into this mess in the first place.  And remember that temptation is everywhere, and we cannot control it.  We can only control ourselves and our choices.

I took phetremine last year for about 2 months and lost about 35 pounds. I did not have any problems other than some headaches which finally went away after a couple of weeks of taking the medicine. I have since started taking them again this year and again the only problem that i have had is the headaches. I highly recommend this medicine if you are trying to loose some weight. But you need to learn how to eat also while taking this. I have found that I dont even crave anything sweet or I dont even wants sodas anymore. I used to drink sweet tea and sodas all day long. I have been on this medicine this time for about 3 weeks and all I have had to drink since taking the pills is water. So if your thinking about trying the pills I would say go for it. Just besure to see your doctor before starting anything new. Good luck and I hope it works for you..

i took phentermine before and had to stop.  a 1/4 of a pill could suppress my appetite all day....but if i increased the dosage i felt like i was on speed.  i thought i was going to have a heart attack...and i also had palpitations.  i hope your sister discontinues asap forever.

Palpitations are not a "racing heart beat"
That condition is medically termed:   Tachycardia
Palpitations is an abnormal awareness of the heart beat whether it be to fast, to slow, irregular, or normal.
The point is any drug can cause side effects.  No one should use any substance like this without consulting a Physician first.
Also, based on info above (incorrect info) you should be careful when people who claim to have exact knowledge on something starting shooting off at the mouth.

Do research and visit your doctor if you are serious about using this drug, which is effective, as an aid in weight loss.

Thanks for setting the record straight on palpitations!  As a former EMT/LVN that was the second thing that bothered me about the posts on here.  The first thing was people seeking advice from "laypersons" who might in fact be individuals doing spin control for the makers of phentremine.  See you doc before starting anything like this.  I think if you all apply a common sense test to this you'll know you should seek a doctor's opinion and should probably just get your self to the gym or out to work out and not eat all junk.

My son turned 7 months yesterday. I weigh 195lbs, not use to this weight I would like to lose realistically 25-40lbs.  Two Fridays ago I began to take  Phen, by the following Monday I was having severe mind bottling head aches.  It may have been contributed to stress also. I had lost 3 lbs within 5 days, therefore I really would like to continue using Phen.   May I please hear other success stories: How long did you use phen? and how long did it take you to get the weight off?, what form of activity did you do?, and what do you continue to do daily? After stop taking phen did the weight come back on?

Dont worry I will be seeing a Doc...I have to in order to be for my second visit to pick my next pack of monthly pills

Oh yea how about the Diet Shot?
