[katy05]

hello everyone, this is my first time on this website, I just got my ephedrasil hardcore today, I took my first two pills, and instead of feeling "euphoric" I yelled at my mom for reading over my shoulder, and I feel mad at the world! I also ordered Orovo X-treme but then read terrible things about it. so considering that it was $200.00 for one bottle, I think I may return it. I'm not sure. Has anyone else tried it? I lost 30 lbs 9 years ago on phentermine, but since then have put it all back on, I started running at the time, but since then have broken a vertebrate in my lower back so running is now out of the question. I have also just made an appointment with a doctor whom prescribes Tenuate. Has anyone tried this Tenuate? I'm hoping she also prescribes Phentermine, because of the great results I had with it in the past. Well I feel good belonging to this group. Hope I can help & be helped.

There are so many products on the market to lose weight, I can't even keep track. Dang girl !! $200for a bottle. Cheaper going to the Dr.'s and just getting something FDA approved to lose weight. Yeah, I'd send those babies back and get my money back too.jmo

Tenuate, (I think they work similiar as phen or in the same class of drugs) Susan the other Mod will come by and correct me or somebody if I'm wrong.lol

I've never tried it and haven't heard much of it but, I still read Adipex is the strongest and best and someone else said that they would only try tenuate only if the Adipex did not work for them anymore,you know you eventually build up a tolerance to Adipex.

Also they said Tenuate is 3 pills a day compared to one pill a day of the Adipex. So the tenuate would probably cost more I wold think since bottles are sold with 30 pills in it at a time usually and you would have to get three botttles a month compared to one bottle of Adipex.

Sorry Rambling and kinda guessing here anyways. Find out the price difference deffinitely and if you don't get Adipex try the tenuate for a month but ask your Dr. if it does not work well for you the first month can you switch to Adipex or phentermine.

Either way we would love for you to report your experience on this board so as to help other's make the same descision your trying to make. Let us know what happens. ttyl c.c.

What is the most important information I should know about Tenuate?
• Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Tenuate may cause dizziness, blurred vision, or restlessness, and it may hide the symptoms of extreme tiredness. If you experience these effects, avoid hazardous activities.
• Tenuate is habit forming. You can become physically and psychologically dependent on this medication, and withdrawal effects may occur if you stop taking it suddenly after several weeks of continuous use. Talk to your doctor about stopping this medication gradually.
• Do not crush, chew, or open any "once-daily" Tenuate tablets or capsules. Swallow them whole.




What is Tenuate?
• Tenuate is a sympathomimetic amine, which is similar to an amphetamine. It is also known as an "anorectic" or an "anorexigenic" drug. Tenuate stimulates the central nervous system (nerves and brain), which increases your heart rate and blood pressure and decreases your appetite.
• Tenuate is used as a short-term supplement to diet and exercise in the treatment of obesity.

· have heart disease or high blood pressure;

• Do not crush, chew or open any "once-daily" (long-acting or sustained-release) diethylpropion tablets or capsules. Swallow them whole.
• Never take more of this medication than is prescribed for you. Too much Tenuate could be very dangerous to your health.
• Store Tenuate at room temperature away from moisture and heat.




What happens if I miss a dose?
• Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose or if it is already evening, skip the missed dose and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. A dose taken too late in the day will cause insomnia. Do not take a double dose of this medication.

Oh your welcome, girly !!! Sounds like a plan. Definitely do the journal thing because ,I'm sure other's would like to see how tenuate, worked for you. I come across a posting here and there asking about it but, haven't really come across any members trying it before. Just make sure you tell what your taking on the first page of your journal if you decide to make one.

Have a great night. ttyl c.c.
