Have a look at Mysimba
May give a boost if you can tolerate the side affects and can afford it ?

No one should use them without medical advice, can be damaging.

66babe · 27/07/2021 06:37

Well as you can't obtain them without a consultation and private prescription then that is a non comment
You don't pick them up in Primark

I suggested having a look at them , some people have great success with them

@66babe - my post was after yours but in response to the op.

Weight loss pills are a bad idea imo.

You can buy an OTC version of oriistat, which is likely to be safe.

Taking antidepressants such as Mysimba should definitely be under proper medical supervision only (and I wouldn't recommend an online form as a substitute for consulting your GP - close supervision is advisded because of the risk of suicide/ideation)

Ah I see @lannistunut - my apologies then
Yes I do actually agree with you
I have tried absolutely every single trick in the book and none of them work
Ditch the crap
Keep moving
Eat well
Wish I could actually do it though 🤣

@SexTrainGlue Mysimba is not available from a GP
It's a private prescription provided by a Dr , you may complete a form initially but you are still medically assessed and accepted or declined depending on your BMI / current Med conditions/ medications / mental health state

I had to stop taking it as it interacted negatively with medication I'm already on and cannot stop taking. But some people really love it. If you are looking to get your next batch I can offer mine for a reduced price.
