No: You can get some changes in appetite but weight loss is not commonly seen with this medication.

Question 2

i take xanax daily and want to start using lipozene for weight loss. ive read online that lipozene can decrease the effectiveness of certain medications and was wondering if it will do this with my xanex?

: A quick search did not show any interaction with Xanax but with some kinds of blood pressure medications and oral medciations for diabettes called sulfonylureas. The Lipozene website desdribed a study of Lipozene against placebo.  Even so it can only by marketed as a non-FDA approved treatment.

Question 3

i got adipex from my dr to help lose weight. it did nothing. what is a stronger pill i can get. my xanax (alprazolam) doesn't help weight loss either.  tried evrytg?

Accepted Answer

No diet Pills Work: First, there are no diet pills that work. There are none that will lead to real or lasting weight loss.  Second, please use this frank and honest answer to motivate you to the real changes that work: limiting sugar in your diet, eating mostly protein sources for calories, eating 1500 calories/day and no more and doing regular exercise.

Question 4

will taking fiber weight loss pills before meals effect xanax absorption? i take xanax 4 times a day sometimes would be soon after i would take the fiber pill and ive read fiber makes some medications less effective and decreases their absorption?

Accepted Answer

: Always go to Drugs.com to get proper information about your meds and the interactions of all meds you are taking.  Xanax has a high risk of dependency and you should discuss with your Dr. Fiber wt loss pills have not been shown to be effective nor safe. Beware.

Question 5

Seroquel (quetiapine)?: All these meds can put weight on you. Sweets are a simple form of calories. Easy to gain weight. See your prescriber pleade.

Question 6

if i take alprazolam for anxiety, and phentermine for weight loss, how should they be taken to avoid counter-action, and safety reasons. i seem to be having sleeplessness issues the last couple of nights...

Accepted Answer

Never a good place: These are 2 habit forming drugs, never safe when used together and indefinitely. The trick will be stay on the lowest dose of Phentermine for a very limited amount of time as it can cause worsening anxiety and sleep issues. Never a good idea to take it in the second part of the day.

Accepted Answer

Acute Anxiety: I am so sorry to hear this.This is one of the most traumatic events in life as you are finding out.  I know from similar experience.  You need someone to talk to, a close friend a coworker, preferable someone who has gone through this.  You need, although you don't want to, a therapist.  Eat whatever you can, and I mean anything right now, shakes, burgers, anything that you can. Good luck to you!!

Xanax (alprazolam): At high dose it can stimulate appetite.

Accepted Answer
