There is NO safe or effective diet pill.  Take a look at phen/fen and ephedra, they worked at losing wieght and giving you a heart attack.  The best and only safely proven way is eating in moderation and exercise.  I wish there was a magic pill, but it does not exist yet.  And dont believe any ad or commercial saying otherwise

Diet pills in general are unsafe to take, whether you have Diabetes or not. Please do not be fooled into thinking that you will lose weight with diet pills - Do they advise you drink plenty of water whilst taking them?? As that is the soul key to losing weight, drink plenty of water and exercise!

frankly, no. sure, diet pills can help you lose weight but only on a short term basis and you're likely to gain back all the weight you lose. Also try considering their side effects, some could be hazardous to your health.

Actually, Yasmin is one of the best pills you can take if you do not want to gain weight.  I started taking it in January of this year and I think I might have gained like 3 pounds compared to my friends who are taking Ortho-Tri Low and gained like 10-12. Birth control pills do not make you fat by themselves, however they do increase your appetite a little.  Just don't pig out on junk food all the time and you will be just fine.  Good Luck!!

I'm not too sure of an actual age, but I do know that they are not recommended for youths.  They are still growing, and those pills can do some damage.  I also know they aren't really recommended for anyone, as it is NOT a healthy way to lose weight.

hi,\n\nI think you should not take diet pills because they are artificially synthesized and do not contain enough vitamins and nutrients which our body requires. Vitamins, minerals and all the natural nutrients are very vital for our mental and physical growth. \n\nTake natural sources of these vitamins and minerals through fresh fruits and food. Avoid fat rich diet and do lots of exercise. Thats the most effective and easy way to loose weight.\n\nGood luck !!

Hi angel!\n\nListen as a medical professional who believes in conventional and holistic medicine - don't use the pills or diet pop. I don't know your age but diet pills can cause heart problems such as arrythmias, tachychardia, etc...\n\nthe "fake" sugar in diet soda is a carcinogen (cancer causing) the harm to your body is unbelievable.\n\nbest advice: if you have to use - definitely use in moderation\n\ninstead of diet pills eat a balanced diet plenty of fresh fruits and veggies, exercise/drink lots of water as well.\n\ninstead of pop try flavoring your water with lemon/lime etc drink teas, etc...\n\ngood luck to you\nalaska friend

See an OB/GYN but make sure you know your own/family medical history. The pill is often prescribed for 'regulating' periods, but its not always safe - you could be a stroke risk if there is any history of strokes or high blood pressure. I know it is not something you always want to talk to your parents about - they may freak at the words 'birth control' - but they are more likely to know this than you.

No diet pills really work, and you should never take them while breastfeeding. Read the labels...they ALL say the same thing. Something along the lines of "if you take this pill with a calorie-reduced diet and regular exercise, you MAY lose weight." Even the so-called natural ones carry dangers with them that are not worth it.\n\nThere's only one safe way to lose weight effectively, and that is to eat a LITTLE less (by 200-400 calories) than the amount of calories you need to use in a day. If you eat too much less, you body goes into fat storage mode, and your attempts at starving yourself will backfire, as you will get fat quickly again when you start eating again. \n\nGo to the site below to get info on how many calories you need in a day.

The report includes what to have if you are breastfeeding.\n\nGo to weight watchers if you really want an effective way to lose weight and keep it off.

Diet pills are bad for you, period.  The others are probably all right together.

Yes it is good! I have taken it in the past and lost pounds pretty fast. It does cause you to be jittery and it does effect people in different ways. I felt jittery and full of energy. My mom takes it and she just gets the extra boost of energy from it. proceed with caution when taking any diet pills

They aren't "healthy", they effect your central nervous system.  Your brain stem.  Your nerves, tissue and every other organ that's related (your whole body).\n\nThe worst part is that users don't learn self-control so when they stop the pills they return to their old food choices and regain the weight they lost.  Then it starts all over again.\n\nBetter to find a diet you can stick with.  If you like slow loss, try Weight Watchers, if you like fast loss try Kimkins, if you think exercise is the way to go (slow loss), buy/rent some exercise or yoga DVDs and try them for 2 weeks.
