My gp prescribed me weight loss pills years ago when they were being trialled in this country . They were called reductil . I had 2.5 stone to lose and they worked amazingly . They reduce your appetite . I dropped from 12 stone to 10 stone in 3 months and felt so so healthy . They have now been banned because can cause high blood pressure . All the research shows that the risk is in severely obese people and not much risk in persons with just a couple stone to lose . I lost the weight with pills and changed my lifestyle and I stayed 10 stone till I got pregnant with my 3 red baby (after 3 years of keeping weight off ) and then had the shortest pregnancy because of crippling spd that meant I could only walk using crutches . I gained 4 stone and have sonde had another baby and I am now 13st 4oz at 5ft 7 so again I'd like to lose couple stone . I have zero will power and I keep thinking of reductil and how well they worked ( they were also licensed as an anti depressant ) but the only place I can buy them is internet . I know it's daft but it would only be 3 months and then if he back to my preferred weight . I am rubbish at diets and have tried slim wod but don't really like the recipes and have about 3 meals I like and eat all the time so get bored . Iv tried low carb etc etc I just have no willpower and those pills made it so so easy and I literally took one pill a day and hardly felt hungry and after few bites I was full . They also made me feel so happy (antidepressant quality worked ) . I know il probably get called lazy and stupid for wanting to buy them . AIBU ? I have researched the health risks and it seems it's more risky if you are morbidly obese ?
