i've got some which i'm starting today. It should take a few days for them to start working, so hang in there!

hiya, they do work i used them a couple of years ago for a few days but had to stop on advice from my GP as i had high blood pressure,they take a couple of days to kick in but they really suppressed my appetite.

SpinningEm · 21/03/2009 21:19

ok where can i get some from?

fanjolina · 21/03/2009 21:39

Can you use them whilst pregnant?

sophieandbelly · 01/05/2009 21:39

u wont be able to take any app. supresent wen preg fanjolina, as they work with the receptors in ur brain, not good at all for the baby!

Just started last Thursday and on 10's, no side effects so far and seem to have lost 2lbs. I don't know how they work but because I am on them I have conciously being looking at portion control and they seem to be keeping the hunger pangs at bay. I have to go to the nurse in a couple of weeks and then back to the doctor 2 weeks after that.
But so far so good.
