Dinintel and Panic Attacks

Dr Rob, I have a BMI of 24.4, but have been taking Dinintel (Asenlix) because I am studying and I am told it will help me to stay awake.  I have not eaten much in the last week.  This morning I pushed myself in a three mile road run, did not rehydrate at the end, then had a wierd episode where i screamed uncontrollaby.   Could this have been the consequence of the Dinitel, or was  as a result of it low blood sugar as one doctor said?

I would recommend taking one pill a day and drinking lots of water this will reduce the side effects and it will also help with the headaches and help you sleep at night. They do work but also use this time to eat sensibly, dont starve yourself, the body isn't designed that way, remember also to take vitamins with it as it will put in what you are not getting from eating. I experience the headaches so I increased my water intake and that stopped them one time. Iv never taken two of the tablets either as this may be too much on my body. I've started eating very small portions of everything and I've lost about 8 pounds in the first week which I'm sure a few of those is water weight.

I'm from Trinidad and Tobago. Dinintel is really easy to get here. I take it to study because it gives me crazy energy and keeps me awake. However I hate the  side effects, I get serious heart palpitations and I am extremely irritable and  depressed after Awhile. I am going to stop taking it and try regular methods of staying awake like coffee etc.I would like to say though that it does Indeed curb your appetite, I usually have to remind myself to eat. So if you are using it for this purpose, it will definitely be worth it.

Hello there taking "certain Drugs" even prescribed ones during pregnacy can cause damage to unborn child. Also you should always read fine prints because it does state it in the readings.

hi sorry to burst your bubble on exercise wih this pill, i  took the pill and started excersing, my heart rate almost went through the roof, on a normal basis if you exercise your heart rate goes up,this pill naturally sends your heart in overdrive with every little motion,so a combination of the two is deadly.
breathing will become extremely difficult.
another thing if you want to lose weight do it the hard way it's a discipline, i know people who took them lost the weight drastically and remained with ugly loose, saggy, old looking skin.

I used to take Dinintel when I was younger but hadn't taken it for years. Recently I started going to the gym and got a personal trainer so my mom (a pharmacist in JA) sent me some to help with my weight loss. She of course warned me about side effects - the increased heart rate and increased blood pressure that would occur if I didn't workout while taking the pill - and that I had to take 1 pill early in the morning and the other before 12 noon, never after 12p or it keeps you awake at night. The wakefulness isn't a problem for me because I sometimes work nights.

I started taking the pills on July 4th, 2011 but because I had just started a new job I didn't have as much time to work out as I did before.What that caused was the increased heart rate, increased blood pressure (which I monitored), and in the mornings even when doing the simplest thing or walking just a few steps, I sweat like I just jogged for 2 miles! However, I never feel irritable, angry, depressed,confused, nor hyperactive like some other people have posted. It also suppressed my appetite somewhat but definitely not like what some people posted. I could still eat, maybe a little too much.. lol. The diet pill actually makes me feel like I'm working out just from doing simple things, I have energy to take me through the day, able to feel full even with small meals, and I'm focused on my work. After about 2 and a half weeks taking the pill, trying to eat right and without working out, I lost about 6 pounds.

So, with all that said, I would recommend Dinintel to anyone with a good heart (literally) and willing to lose weight while feeling energized and less hungry.  

The only issue I've had with the fabulous little green pills is that they make you test POSITIVE FOR AMPHETAMINES when you do a URINE drug test. I found that out the hard way a couple days ago.
I did a drug test for a part-time job and was called by the lab on Monday to say that I tested positive for Amphetamines.??????? I didn't even know what they were taking about until I started to do some research. I've never taken drugs in my life! but it turns out that DININTEL is CLOBENZOREX which METABOLIZES into D-AMPHETAMINE. One study I found says that its 20% less potent than Amphetamine. I of course explained all this to the employer and even sent them the prescription from the box, but they sounded somewhat unsure about what decision they would make. Basically all I'm doing at this point is just waiting to hear back from them on whether or not they believe me and the evidence I presented.

As previous post said you need to drink a lot of water, that really helps. some exercise helps too, thing is it gives you excess energy and if you don't do something to burn it you start feeling sick. Just dont over do the exercise start off slow and you will find that each day you can do more.
But with all things in this life you need to follow your instinct and do what is right for you.

I take 1 tablet in the morning with a glass of water and walk for 30 - 45 mins, and have enough energy to see me through the day but by 9pm i get sleepy. I only take one a day I think my body has to get use to it first before I take the recomended two per day. I drink a lot of water through the day and eat far less, its not that i forget to eat (i had stomach issues before and had have to eat on time three times a day) I just eat less and healthier; the grease turns me off now and so does the sweets. I have lost 10lbs after finishing a strip and i skipped weekends. no side effects so far other than when i tried taking two in a day my heart beated really fast.
I want to lose 80lbs so i'm glad that this pill is available, now that I get hear about the vitamin issue I will stock up on the vitamin B and D.

As with anything it take time and dedication, with all the diets and pills i have tried dinnitel really works but you have got to ensure that one pill is taken first thing in the morning with a meal and the other not later than 10 hours before sleeptime, some vitamins especially B and D, lots of water as it helps with the flushing of the toxins, as we should all know the body is 70% water, exercise and diet plays an important part in the use of dinnitel, as the diet speed up the process and exercise helps with the panic fellings, i also  suggest taking it no longer that 3 weeks, which after you can do a detox, say the master cleanse and resume to it if so desired, there is no easy way to weight loss, as there was an easy way to weight gain, a positive mind set and seeing the goal is paramount, believe and we will achieve. PS Ensure that you eat and healthy!

I live in Freeport, Bahamas and I took this pill and let me just say that I think that it is just awesome! I lost a large amount of weight and I loved it. I did not experience any heart racing, headaches or anything really, all I had was dry mouth like a funny taste in my mouth and I think that it was because lack of water I was extremely busy at my job so I meanly forgot to drink anything. I ate little of everything when I did eat and I didn't really change anything about my diet. I literally forgot to eat or that I didn't eat and I had tons of energy. But let me reiterate that you NEED to drink lots of water and I found it helpful to take vitamins (any of your choice) and I exercised every day! It's not as easy to get them any more but you can get a prescription and according to the Doctors you have to be considered over weight in order to get a prescription! But I totally plan on taking them again and they aren't that costly either.

Hi everyone,
Did you all know that if  you were taking Dinintel, apply for a job and were requested to do a blood test, your results would come up positive for Amphetamine? That is why it is so addictive. It is known to deplete the body of all vitamins with prolonged use. Especially Vitamin D which causes bone pains and many types of cancer. It makes you paranoid and after a while it no longer makes you lose weight but,instead, makes you fatter when the toxins start accumulating in the body. BAD STUFF!!. That is why some Doctors are reluctant to prescribe it. I wonder about the Trinis who allow it to be had over the counter.
It messes with the brain as well... confuses the hell out of you and makes you unable to figure out where you are or which way to turn to go home. This Dinintel is very hard to stop taking after a while, because the brain is altered and keeps telling you that you cannot accomplish the task without DININTEL!!!!!
