The rate of breathing also has a tendency to increase, which can be a bit scary.

Over the counter diet pills such as CortiSlim, Xenadrine EFX and TrimSpa are not thought of as medications or drugs. For these reasons, diet pills are not being regulated by the FDA like prescription medications are. Manufacturers of such products do not have to prove that the diet pills are effective or safe. Certain products may not be dangerous, they may just be a waste of money. It is wise for you to approach any diet aid that does not require a prescription with a skeptical eye.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I tried a pill called phentermine and i lost 9 pounds in 5 days. naturally at first i was excited at how skinny i was going to be if i had lost so much weight in so little time. then i began to have respiratory problems and i began to have sharp pains in my bladder, then insomnia hit me along with severe anxiety. at the clinic they made me sign something about them not being responsible for anything. i ended going to the hospital and they told me my blood pressure was very high and my heart beat was abnormally fast. i told them i was taking phentermine and the doctor looked at me like i was crazy. he asked for what? and i said weight loss. he told me those pills are like cocaine in a bottle. never again will i use diet pills, im sticking to a healthy diet and exercise.
