I have aserious question that I'm dying to ask. I desperately want to lose a significant amount of weight and I've tried everything. I have been diagnosed with Poly Cyctic Ovarian Syndrome and this makes it very difficult to lose weight unless I am medicated to treat the symptoms(one being unexplained weight gain). I am currently taking Metformin, an insulin pill that combats the symptoms, and Phentomine, to surpress any apetite. Those along with a five day/two hour workout plan didn't really do anything. At that time I was also down to two meals a day, no food in between. Now, I haven't really had the energy to excersize (still on those meds) and I'm eating only one meal a day (no food in between, except for milk and possibly orange jiuce with calcium). I know that it is said to lose weight, you actually should eat a lot of the right things, but when I did that, I still gained weight. At this point I am starting to lose weight on my, less eating, less excersize deal. However, all around exercise would speed up my results and allround make me healthier. I suppose my questions are; what else should I do, and is it safe to take other diet pills?? Such as Dexatrim?? I want something to help burn the food and raise my motabolism. Thanks for all your help! Cheers!

I've used Dexatrim in the past and have been very happy with the results. While on it, I found I was less hungry and could eat a lot more than regular and still lose weight on a regular basis. I'm not sure how it would counteract with other medicines, however, and you can't have any caffiene while on it. Hope this helps!!!

I tried dexatrim and it worked (but i wasn't really eating and I was VERY VERY active at the time). The thing I am worried about mostly is that I heard it wasn't good for you b/c it could cause serious heart problems. Was this an issue??

Honestly, I couldn't tell you. My heart's been abnormal with constant palpatations for the past couple years, and so I'm not the best person to ask. I did notice an increased heart rate while using the pills, but given my medical history, I can't fully associate one with the other.

i've heard some good results from Desatrim too ... haven't been on it myself, but it's definatly on my list

As far as the Dexatrim, the increased heart rate may have been caused or helped by it, as it is labeled as a side effect, I think......hmmmm, I haven't really look anything up on Desatrim, I'll check it out, and ask my doctor of course if it's right for me:-). Thanks!

I would not take dexatrim with phentermine, it basically causes you to lose water weight and phentermine can dehydrate you as it is. I don't think it is safe, but if you ask your pharmacist they can tell you for sure.
