Common Questions and Answers about Medicines that lose weight

Avatar n tn I know that the b12 with lipotropics are most likely safe to take with your meds because they are simply b-vitamins and an amino acid mixture. They're safe enough for a nursing mother who's wanting to lose weight to use... so pretty safe! As for Alli.... if you don't mind a brown oily leakage from your bottom (the common complaint about the stuff)... then I guess it's ok to use. Personally, I opt for the b12 lipotropics LOL.
725066 tn?1231057739 It is generally used for type II diabetes, but maybe you have some insulin resistance or pre-diabetes, which could also make it difficult, if not impossible, to lose weight. That may be why you were prescribed that. It is also used to treat PCOS - do you know if you have that? Is that why your cycle is irregular? Did you have other thyroid tests done (Free T-4, Free T-3, etc)? I'm sure there will be others who can tell you more about the other meds.
Avatar f tn Help !! I need to know what can be done to lose weight is there a product that works ??? Has anyone had results with anything??
Avatar f tn t know it was necessary to create a pregnancy, I thought it was an offshoot of pregnancy (I was told it is produced by the placenta). Some people take it in order to lose weight, but that would be a weird thing to do to someone trying to get pregnant (or support an early pregnancy). How much does the hCG cost? Do you get an itemized list?
Avatar m tn So, if you have a bit of a complex medical history in that you are on different medications because you have diagnosis of one type or another, it would be really important to talk to your doctor first before doing something rather drastic like a fasting water diet. That's not probably the healthiest way to lose weight. Three days of that is a hunger strike. :>) Any weight loss from that would not last. There are better ways to handle trying to lose weight and we can discuss that.
Avatar n tn If you take the right steps such as healthy, proportionate diet/meals and exercise, you should have no problem losing the weight. You could probably at least maintain the weight you're at if not lose some weight now if you started making these changes as they should be lifestyle changes rather than fad diets. Good luck!
1 alligator For anyone who can't stick with a diet book, try The Flex Diet, by Dr James Beckerman. Dr Beckerman is a cardiologist, here on MedHelp and his book consists of simple, small, common sense changes that we can make to help lose weight. I've made a few of them; now it's time to go back and read the book again, so I can make more.
Avatar f tn t lose any weight neither gained any.. I have been having weight of 45kgs from the start of this year...
Avatar m tn I was really concerned also but my dr. told me that I was a little over weight when I got pregnant so the weight loss is nothing to stress over unless I get to an unhealthy weight. I do not have a thyroid problem but with the eating and being sick I can relate o and the only thing I wanted to eat was ice cream and pudding when I could eat. I pray she feels relief soon mine has just came in the last week just make sure she is drinking plenty of water!
Avatar f tn i have been on luvox for 1 year and its a very good medicine with minimum side effects ,so please give it a try and regarding weight gain i think it is the dullness caused by these medicines that we gain weight , which we can counter by exercises.
Avatar f tn He suggested we move on to other treatment and medication. I opted to lose weight and try again. Anyone have my same experience and succeed or am I wasting time?
Avatar f tn I've been on methadone for 3 years and decided to try and lose a little weight. Only want to lose like 25 lbs. Started taking phentermine a week ago. Docter tested my thyoid level it was low so now I'm taking levothyroxine. First couple days were fine but when I added the thyroid medicine I started getting headaches and just not feeling right. Should I continue all three medicines? I really want to lose the weight! What should I do?
539156 tn?1281818356 m not a joiner, so this was a huge deal for me), and joined a gym. Lots of people have the desire to lose weight, but as you say...its not until you make the DECISION to get your life and act together that it will happen for you. I had to do it for me, and no one else. I still have a tough time motivating myself to go to the gym, even though I really do enjoy it. Its just...easier to sit on my butt at the house, I suppose. But I do it. Come on! Make that decision.
Avatar f tn you can try the Optifast program. It is used by people who are getting surgery and need to lose weight before surgery. My mum lost 15kg in 3 weeks and I lost 10kg in 3 weeks. If you can commit to it, it should work.
Avatar f tn I'm no doctor, just a man who has read way too many articles on fitness and tested a few out. What I've found the best way to lose weight is to find your maintenance level (you can find a rough calculator online) that will tell you about how many calories you burn in an avg day. Subtract around 250 calories and you've found your ideal calorie amount! Keep in mind you should take exercise into account as well. You should be shooting around -2 lbs a week.
Avatar f tn We usually see inability to lose weight in thyroid patients, when the level of their thyroid hormones is inadequate. Do you have recent labs that you can post for us, so we can assess your testing/treatment? Please be sure to include reference ranges, as these vary lab to lab and must come from your own report.
535882 tn?1396576685 can say a 10 pound weight lose . really upset your numbers? change them that much?
Avatar f tn You might try atkins to lose that in a week.
Avatar f tn Following the rights diet and exercising daily could make you lose weight. Instead, starving is not the solution to lose weight. So, make sure you stay patience, eat healthy, exercise daily, and avoid eating junk food. This is my advise, buddy.
Avatar f tn I am young i shouldnt be ashamed to take pictures, and put on swimsuits. But as most of us know it is really hard to lose weight. I have tried almost everything!! I am already borderline diabetic so i am afraid if i take the medicine the doctor prescribes i will become diabetic. Help me please at this point i will try anything!!!
Avatar f tn I was concerned with my weight gain while pregnant because I had severe morning sickness the whole time, and was unable to gain weight. My midwife helped me to manage my diet so that I felt more confident.
Avatar f tn If you go on a diet you will risk putting the weight back on but losing weight fast is not the reason people gain weight back. That comes from lack of discipline and motivation. I lost well over 100 pounds in less than six months and have now kept the weight off for over 8 years. If you want to have a healthy nutrition plan you will need to change your habits..... Permanently.
Avatar m tn I am doing my exercise and dieting from last two months but not losing weight.. Before that never happened that I exercised and not lost weight. Why its not happening now? Am I too old to lose weight? Please somebody help me . I am very depressed.I have been using Euthyrox 75 from the last 10 years.
