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.

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.

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..
