No, it dehydrates you which means you only lose water weight. \n\nThe easy way to lose weight which worked for me was to cut out junk food entirely and just eat real food, like fresh fruits veggies and meat. Also, work out regularly. It's not that hard.

Gaining weight with various anti-depressants is not unusual.\n\nThere are some that will not, but there other side effects.  For example Wellbutrin, and Serzone or  rarely does.  Some people do gain weight on Zoloft or Prozac and Paxil.\n\nI highly suggest you tolerate the work out until you are complete with your regime of anti-depressant.  This is very much different what a doctor would do - who most likely will just prescribe an other medication to help you with your weight gain.  Which will give you loose bowl. So then s/he will prescribe you a third one for that. Ad infinitum.\n\nThe benefit to this is once you are done with the anti-depressants, you will be used to exercise, and will be a very fit person!

Caffeine is bad for loosing weight because all that soda goes to your belly and you get a soda belly...but you do need some caffeine, they say it actually helps to loose weight if you limit it, they say to drink a few sips every hour or so, so don't quit it completely just limit it....good luck...tea, especially green tea, helps you loose weight and it has a bit of caffeine..

As for diet pills, you will hear more scam than science, but the fact is that only two products are FDA-approved to help in reducing body weight and treating obesity.\nThese are orlistat( Xenical) which prevents 30% of the fat in your diet from being absorbed and thus reducing the overall calories consumed.\nThe other is sibutramine( Merdia, Reductil) which increases the sense of satiety.\nBoth agents have helped people achieve weight loss of about 5-10 % of their initial body weight when combined with balanced meals and regular physical exercise of 30 or more min on most days of the week, which has been proven to improve health greatly.\n\nIf you suffer from any health conditions, be sure to check with your doctor before using any of these pills, or any others.

I tried that once, years ago. I gained all my weight back and more, after about 6 months of stopping. Duramine stops your appetite and increases your metabolism, so it gave me a lot of energy and I could never sleep properly. I also started to get periods of rapid heart rate.  In the end I lost weight without any help. You need regular cardiovascular exercise and a good diet, that is still the only way to loose weight and keep it off. The key is changing your habits for good, not masking them for a while with pills and then going back to them. Your metabolism will slow down again and your appetite will be bigger than ever, once you stop Duramine.

No, but you will feel that water swishing around in your belly.  Drinking water doesn't make you loose weight.  If you are hungry sometimes it's a false alarm and if you drink some water (it may help you with your hunger pangs) doing that instead of eating would make you loose weight.  However it's not worth starving yourself.  Plus if you eat too little without exercising you may actually slow your metabolism down and put on more weight or not loose any.  Dietitians recommend eating 6 small meals a day (I eat 4) and drink when you are thirsty, you should drink with your food though. Also if you exercise 3-4 times a week for 30-45 mins anaerobically i.e cycling, swimming anything but weights, you should loose weight when combined with I diet.  Join a local slimming club and gym and you should do fine.  Good luck and don't be too hard on yourself, you will just get bored and pile the weight back on.

Diet pills are good, if you really need them for your health. I was at an unhealthy weight, went into Congestive Heart Failure, and my doctor told me to "lose the weight or I was gonna die." He suggested a stomach bypass surgery, but I wouldn't do it. Instead, He gave me Adipex. I have lost a lot, and don't take it anymore....still losing weight. The main thing is...Don't go back to your old habits after you go off the diet pills, or you will gain it back faster than you took it off. You need to maintain what you have accomplished even when you're not taking the pills anymore. Keep active, and yes, sometimes you can have something you've been craving without gaining it back. Good luck!

No diet pill is good to use to lose weight if you want to be healthy. The best way to lose weight is to control your eating habits, eating healthier, and exercising. Diet Pills are not 100% safe or effective you know.

I take phenermine.  Dr. perscribed, not expensive, actually you can get it on line.  ameripills.com   I take the 37.5 mg  \nI have lost about 80 lbs now.  It curbs your apetite, and gives you energy (speeds up you metabolism)  but I afraid you are going to have to exercise.  Getting past the first month is the hardest, but then you get addictied to it, and you WANT to exercise.  I took it without exercising, and it doesnt work as good.  You also have to cut your calories.  I have done every fad diet out there, and the only things that truly works, for good, is cutting calories, and exercise.  those pills just kinda help you not be so hungry all the time.    I was also lazy, and I love food like you would not believe.  That's why we are fat.  (were for me) I have worked really hard at loosing this 80 lbs, I am so proud of myself for being so dedicated.  This is a mind thing, if you really want to loose it, you have to make the decision and do it.  There is no going back.\nThe way I keep from feeling deprived of food, I give myself one meal a week that I do not worry about calories.  And only one!  knowing that once a week you can have something, helps SO MUCH!  After you start loosing and see what you accomplish, you wont want to do that.  Mine have gone down to about once a month, and Im fine with that.   Right now Im doing about 1000 calories a day cuz Im trying to get ready for a concert and i want to look my best, but 1200 to loose is a good number.   go here,  www.calorielab.com   and www.ameripills.com  put your mind to it.  I did.  And Im not the fat girl in the group anymore!!!

It just takes will power to loose weight. Pills are bad for you. They cause your heart rate to go up and some contain ingredients that can kill you. Try either the South Beach Diet or another one drink lots of water and no pop. If you want to snack eat raw celery and carrots. Good luck and stay away from the pills.

the most easiest to loose weight is to have proper diet and regular excercise. we should control yourself in eating so much.eat fruits and vegetables everyday as your diet rather than eating twice a day.

weight lose is a case to case situation. do not mess with the pills, please dont.  they will give you more down the road problems. loosing wieght is not easy, i agree. but here are a few ideas that if you stick with it, you will see results. i promise and if you dont, sue me.  here is what you do. control what and when you eat. eat three meals a day, simply right, dont snack when your hungry. eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. stay consistant with the times.  eat well rounded meals. touch in one day all of the food groups. light breakfast, heardy lunch and a simple dinner.  also excercise, something as simple as a walk around the park or through the neighborhood, will do just fine. and drink plenty of water. especially with you feel the urge to snack. if you do this, i promise you will see the wieght fall off. and... give it some time, dont expect results overnight.  let me know how it goes....
