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.

I took Phentremine last year for the full 90 days.  After the first week, I wanted to stop because I had such bad insomnia.  But, I kept at it, and I'm sooo glad I did.  The insomnia stopped after the first 2 weeks, and after that, I had no side effects.  I ended up losing 15 pounds in the 3 months, and best of all, I HAVE KEPT IT OFF!  15 pounds in 3 months may not sound like a lot to some who are looking for super fast results, but again, I HAVE KEPT IT OFF FOR OVER A YEAR! And before that, even though I was eating NO junk food, and counting calories, I could not lose weight.  Phentremine worked for me, and because again, I still have more weight to lose and hit a plateau, I plan on ordering a 6 month supply (to get the deepest discount) because I know it works for me!  I will use it for 3 months, then go off it for  while, then back on for the other 3 months.  I have spent many hours on the internet searching all the weight loss pills available now, and after carefully considering all the facts for all the different options available, I have decided that Phentremine is still the best choice!  (I know there are other potent pills that work, but the side affects are horrible!)

As had been stated above, everyone's body is different, but all I can say, is that it works for me!

Be careful when making purchases for any consumable item(s) "online". Always make sure you are dealing with a reputable source.

I never have posted on a board like this before, but my experence today was so scary with the product I felt compelled to post it.  I have take Bontril, Meridia, and ephedra under the close supervision of my doctor for years with no problems.  In fact he was amazed that my blood pressure and pulse were completely normal under the scrips.  However I was lazy the other day and chose not to go to him for a prescription on Meridia as I've packed a few pack on.  Well I didn't notice the misspelling in this product until I had already ordered it and it was delivered to me.  I decided "what the heck" and popped one in my mouth.  That was almost the last dumb move I ever made, this product made my heart race unlike ever the prescriptions did, I felt faint at times and just about to go to the hospital before I chugged about 2 liters of water.  Thankfully thigs have settled down now, but I have never had a reaction like this to any medication.  I thought it was Hoodia and reading up on it I saw that reactions were benign, however I didn't bother to read about how 90% of hoodia isn't hoodia at all especially over the internet.  Let me be frank, this isn't hoodia, this is cocaine in pill form,  I am immediately throwing out what I bought and never going to be lazy again.  DO NOT TAKE THIS PRODUCT, I can't imagine what would've happened if I had trouble with the pre-mentioned prescriptions.  This is not a safe product, don't think oh it is just hoodia, or I'm sure I'll be fine, that's what I thought, and I can honestly say I never felt so panicked in my life even on the above drugs.

If there were an ad for some other potentially harmful drug at the top of this page, would you automatically buy it, just because its at the top of the page?

Phentermine is a dangerous choice. Number 2, never "buy" anything directly off of the internet/online. You dont know if it is real, a scam, or even if you are getting what you think you are getting. It can also be monetarily harmful.
