NWR: Does anyone know anything about diet pills & tingly hands?

Back in college I was taking ephedra diet pills (before they removed it from the shelves) and I would have numbness, shaking, heart racing, etc. I would say discontinue use immediately and see if the feeling in your hands returns. If not, seek medical attention.

What are you taking?

I used hydroxcut less than a year ago and ended up in the hospital, so i wont sit here and give u a lecture LOL. Maybe your bodys finally getting used to them? Also i would google the name of your pills and side effects

@Pumpkin...these pills don't have ephedra..or caffeine...and I don't have shaking or heart racing...just the numbness and tingly feeling..but I agree...I am not gonna take any more of the pills..just wondering if anyone got the same thing from taking the pills. Thanks for sharing!

NO DIET PILLS!!!!!!! I'm going to smack you, woman!!!!

@Samantha...I don't remember the name, I'd have to check...but I didn't think they'd be that bad since the ingridients only list natural herbs. I just know it's a chinese herbal pill.

@Brian....I'm def. gonna visit my doctor if the symptoms don't go away after I stop the pills. I took the last dose this morning so if by tomorrow it doesn't go away, I'll make an appt.

@Jenn...sigh.

THose are the ones to watch out for sometimes, please just be careful and let us know how u feel tomorrow!

If diet pills truly worked, then everyone would take them!!! And I would be a skinny mini! The easy way out DOES NOT WORK! Ugh...I SO wished I lived closer to you because I would slap you silly. Are you on BC? This can affect weight loss.

LOL Jenn Hutch!!! Thats the only reason i hate BC, i swear if i went off of it i would drop 15lbs LOL

@jenn...I'm not on BC...and I know, I know!!! I'm usually totally against diet pills so I feel like a hypocrit but I have 4 weeks til my e-shoot, 5 weeks til my b-shoot and I've been stuck on this f'in plataeu..I even went off BC to see if I could get past it and nothin' so I guess you could say I was feelin' desparate. Plus, I have a sister who keeps pushing me to lose weight for my wedding and now that I think about it she's kinda stressing me out...she seems to be more concerned about my weight than I am!

"Natural herbs" can be just as dangerous as drugs--often more so, since there is no FDA regulation of them. It would be a really good idea to look at the bottle and figure out exactly what they are.

Diet pills are bad so I can only imagine that its side effects from whatever you're taking. I have tried just about all of them and in the summer of 2006 I was taking Hydroxycut and collapsed at my uncles and was unconscious for about 15 seconds before waking back up with chest pains. Just be careful.

If you want to lose weight, cut carbs. BUT, if you're comfortable with your weight (And I DEF think you're hot) then don't let it get to you! My mom keeps calling me a heifer, and not gonna lie, I know I've gained 30 lbs over the past 2 years, but it's whatever. LOL. I still please my man (2x yesterday...hehehe) so I don't care. I know the plateau is frustrating, but sometimes I think that if you're exercising and eating right, then your body is telling you that it's where it needs to be.

@Samantha-just blame it on the BC!

Mrs. Turner2B, are you taking Fruta Planta? Don't take them, they pushed my usual low pressure thru the roof!

@Amber..that's scary!!

@Jenn...she calls you a heifer. ouch! My sis doesn't call me names but she reminds me all the time of how in shape I used to be and how in shape I now am not. I know I'm not overweight...I bet all this stressing over my weight though is what's keeping me from losing. Although..I will say that I weighed in yesterday and finally lost 2lbs...so these pills did work...but..if they're putting my health at risk..obviously it's not worth it.

@Mabel...no, I'm pretty sure they're not fruta planta..it's not a spanish name. I'll find out what they are.

Hey, Mrs. Turner2B, if you're really desperate, try adding some ACV to your water every morning. It's no diet pill and no silver bullet, but I've heard it helps. Here's WebMD's take on it and here's a resource on how to do it:

If your eating healthy and exercising and not losing weight it might just be your body telling you it's happy and healthy where it is. you look beautiful in you avatar pic, so don't worry. your B shoot will came out beautifully! Remember FS love YOU not some skinny B! ch. And if you believe your beautiful you are.

PS. most men REALLY do find curvier women more attractive.

PPS back in the old days of girdles many people were scandalized by woman who did not wear their girdles because the "jiggle" was arousing to men.

My sister is on topomax for migraines and it is also a severe cause of weight loss... and she gets that feeling in her hands and feet... you could google the make up of topomax and the make up of the pills you are taking and compare find a common thread...

also have you tried something like atkins or south beach... it works a lot better healthier and faster... I was addicted to diet pills for a short time so I avoid them at all costs.

good luck!

Kathryn, your girdle comment just made my day!
