Diet pills

Whats up. Have any of you guys ever taken any of the non-ephedra based diet pills? If so, have they made you manic? Oh, and do they mix bad with mood-stabilizers and anti-depressants?? Just wondering. Thanks.

Re: Diet pills

ohhhhhhhh yea, im pretty much a genius...and there isn't even a hint of sarcasm in any of that . These diet pills, i thought would be ok because of the lack of ephedra. It is kinda weird how they are though. It's like a ton of caffeine, like a big rush...i guess hypomania-esque. Then suddenly in the late afternoon, i get super ****y. Then, a little later, i get sad. The right before bed, i go back to normal. Anyway, i wish this bipolar stuff wasnt an issue, because these pills are really helping me, and i have been having some crazy body image problems lately and i need these pills to help me. wow. yea, im not that bright i guess. Hasn't anybody else felt like this? Like they knew something was bad for them, but they still wanted to do it, like, over and over???

Re: Diet pills

I don't take diet pills, but I always drink coffee and I'm so hooked on cigarettes. even though I know these things are extremely bad for me. I smoke almost 2 pks a day and I think the cigs cause my ativan not to work so well. Also I love coffee and when I drink it in the afternoon it keeps me up all night. Sometimes I feel that these things are very counterproductive with my meds, and the bi-polar issue. Also cigs are about the worst habit, anyone could have. When it comes to anything that could speed up my metabolism, like those diet supplements without ephedra, I'm afraid I'd get manic and I won't even use antidepressents. But cigerattes and coffee, go figure.
