Effectiveness and combo w/other drugs…

09 Nov

Hey, when I received a prescription for Meridia,
my physician told me it would decrease my desired
portion size, but not do a great job of controlling my
appetite. As such, he also gave me phentermine to take.

The phentermine, as some of you may know, makes me
feel TERRIBLE. It not only makes me feel shakey and
half-sick, but it affects my moods a great deal. I simply
don’t think I can continue taking it.

Some of
you are saying that you think the Meridia alone is
very effective at controlling appetite. Is that true?
How long did it take for it to become effective? Did
those affects wear off? In what time frame?

Thanks for your help all!!

Laura

Daily panic attacks…

09 Nov

I am wondering if anyone has this problem or if
it’s just my jiggy personality. At least once a day,
usually in the late afternoon, I get a MAJOR panic attack
that I am not going to be able to stop a food binge
from happening. It comes on rather sudden and for
about five minutes my mind starts going cuckoo like,
“oh-my-gosh-I-can-feel-a-food-binge-coming-on-and-I’m-really-gonna-blow-it-big-t
ime,” etc… It’s an overwhelming feeling of doom and I
have to talk myself through it, by saying, “OK, Nell,
this happens everyday and you always get through it.”
After about five minutes it subsides and I emerge
victorious and abstinently intact. Has anyone else
experienced this either on or off of Meridia or am I just
bonkers?

Panic Attacks….or something

09 Nov

Hi Nellably, I never really thought of it as a
panic attack but I know that late afternoon is my worst
time. About an hour before we are to eat supper. I am
diabetic and find that if I don’t eat a snack in the
mid-afternoon it is worse, probably because my blood sugar is
too low. Maybe that has something to do with it? Who
knows…
