what are some of the side effects of weight loss drugs?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on which drugs you mean. In the case of what are called stimulants, such as Phentermine or adipex, the side-effects can be substantial and significant and may include jitteryness, insomnia, anxiety, agitation, depression and even psychosis and paranoia. One needs to carefully weight the risks and benefits of any treatment with the risks and benefits of not having the treatment.

Question 5

my son was prescribed straterra for inattentive add. is one of the side effects weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Less than others: Strattera (atomoxetine) can produce stomach upset which can decrease intake and result in weight loss, but this is different than the weight loss associated with stimulant medications which directly suppresses appetite.  Weight loss is MUCH less common than with other types of ADHD meds.

Question 6

Side effects: Unfortunately, no drug of any kind is free of side effects.  Even lifestyle change can have side effects (exercise causes muscle aches for example).

If free of heart disease, low dose Phentermine therapy has a growing amount of data for effective use with low side effects (stimulant effect, dry mouth, constipation) in the setting of calorie reduction.

Question 7

how does weight loss pills work and do they have long term side effects?

Accepted Answer

Short term: Weight loss pills, such as phentermine, can be used only for a short period of time, e.g. A few weeks. They decrease appetite and work well short term. However, they should only be used in conjunction with a good diet and exercise program. The drug HCG also can work to reduce appetite in a different fashion. It changes your metabolism and is very safe and effective when supervised by a doctor.

Question 8

do the weight loss pills work or do they have side effects how they work?

Accepted Answer

Work a little bit: Over-the-counter diet pills decrease one's appetite a bit (they are related to stimulants). A person's desire to eat can be much stronger that a diet pill's power to decrease his appetite, so he will likely continue to eat too many calories. Also, diet pills don't increase one's desire to exercise. If something as simple as a diet pill actually worked, we would not have so much obesity in America.

Question 9

Question 10

is oxyelite pro tablets for weight loss safe to use? what are its side effects?

Accepted Answer

Who knows: Since it's a proprietary blend of various herbs and supplements -- no one knows what's in it. One thing we do know, however, is that it won't help you lose weight, except in your wallet. Whether it's safe or not is a different matter. That only gets studied if people develop toxicity or die after using it. Save your money and your health. Eat less/exercise more to lose weight.
