Ok...here goes....I know that I don't want to be on those pills anymore....I don't have any desire or urge to get out and do anything either....its been over 2 weeks......so,if I don't want them WHY do I still crave them.....I still think about how things were before and I it's hard to get past that "energy surge" if ya know what I mean....I have seen where other people are like this to for awhile...blah..blah...blah....blah...why is that?

Oh yeah!....also what do you all think about diet supplements...ephedra free of course...3 years ago I went to a weight loss dr. and I took these lil blue and white pills 3x a day and lost 70 pounds! But what I really remember is that I had TONS of energy! It's kinda expensive but they sell all kinds of stuff at wally world like x...or meta......ya know....what do you think????

That's what I've been doing taking one a day, I don't know if it is the safest thing, shouldn't take it w/anything else. But I know that's the hardest part, it's like I came this far now what?? You still don't feel like doing anything and if you just took some pills... Try to hang in there it's almost over!!! Try the diet pills to give you that boost. I know you shouldn't substitute one for the other but are diets addicting?? Hang in there!!!

I take a one day multi-vita......but i don't know if diet pills are addictive...I didn't get addicted before and I took them for a year everyday...I may have been tired for a few days when I stopped but I don't even remember that! The other diet pills i got from a weight dr. these I got a wally world...but I am soooo scared of getting addicted to anything else! I don't take benzo/s just prozac and a mult-vita......excedrin as needed. I took prozac before to. Anyone know about this????

Hey okie! it's Take2. I took those same blue and white pills for about 3 months - even after i lost more than enough weight. it's been a while, but i know i kept taking them because I was used to the burst of energy. Have you tried an of the energy drinks? my son takes some kind of natural energy pills he gets from a health store for football (he's almost 18), and they work pretty good and not addicting. I would try that before any prescription diet pills. you are doing WONDERFUL

I'm out of soma and don't have any w/d symptoms. For the first time last night no restless legs, but still an upset stomach..I think from the lorcets. Like you though, NO energy AT ALL!! I don't even want people in my house it's sooo messy! I thought about those pills too, but I'm scared I'll just be finding one pill to replace others - not good. But this "blah" feeling does suck!
