I took a diet pill years ago, is there something else like it?

I used to take a diet pill that I think had "Phin Phin" Phentermine in it. I lost 50lbs. It has been ten years and another 40lbs. Is there anything like the old diet pill I used to take. All I remember is I had a ton of energy to lose weight and exercise. I really need something to help with my energy. Thanks.

    phentermine is basically a class A amphetamine, this is a drug also common amoungst drug addicts, but for a while was classed as an appetite suppressant and gave hectic energy in the dieting drug industry. depending on the country you are living in, some laws have banned the sale of phentermine in the country. britain for example, and therefore you wont find it in the pharmacies or on the shelf. this drug has many negative side effects inluding:

    Insomnia

    Hypertension

    Irritability

    Nervousness

    Euphoria

    Dry mouth

    Unpleasant taste

    Blurred vision

    Heartburn/Acid reflux

    Changes in libido

    Clumsiness

    Confusion

    Diarrhea

    Dizziness

    Headache

    Arrhythmia

    Nausea or vomiting

    Psychosis

    Skin rash or itching

    Stomach pain

    Fatigue

    Pupil dilation

    this drug is also known to be the cause of "sudden death", a small but fatal heart attack. if this info hasn't put you off, like i said it is illegal to SELL the drug in some countrys, but it is not neccissarily to buy it. check out the laws, and try your luck ordering it in off the net. hope this has helped :)

    I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

    Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

    First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...

    This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.

    However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

    Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate
