has anyone used Reductil for weight loss?

Postby rusty » Tue Mar 11, 2008 11:32 am

hi folks

I have tried excercise and diet control to lose weight but nothing seems to work for me. Now I am thinking to buy Reductil, Xenical or Acomplia but confused which one to try. There are so many websites with loads of information on Xenical, Acomplia and Reductil but I want a first hand experience. So if someone has used Acomplia, Xenical or Reductil for weight loss, please let me know what were the results.

thanx
rusty

Hi there I am currently taking Reductil (sibutramine), I am taking them under medical supervision and I would not suggest anyone take them without this. I get weight and blood pressure checks every 2 weeks. So far taking these along with a 1000cal a day diet has been very successful; I have lost 32 lbs or around 14 kgs in 4 weeks. I do experience side effects from the medication (dry mouth & dizziness) but nothing that would make me stop taking them.

I hope this helps.

Helloooo :) , My name is Barbara and im a 87kg ....5'-5" woman of 54yrs!!
I was slim my whole life (never less than a size 10 or more than a size 12 ) untill i tried to stop smoking, aged 42
with each attempt i put on weight and gradually went up in dress sizes till i was a size twenty :shock:

Now a proud nonsmoker and a size 16 ive tried to get back to my beloved size 12 but justcant :cry:


Since then nothing seems to shift the weight and a recent joyous discovery of zelda (wii) means im on my buns much more than usuall, couple that with smoking cesation and i was a little concerned about where my weight could end up.... :roll:

So i decided its now or never and i told my doctor that i want to lose some weight, primarily for health reasons so i can run around after my firstborn grandson in a few months, but also to improve my copd, fybromyalgia and arthritis.

He recomended reductil (10MG) combined with pulmanary rehab (monitored exercises 2 times weekly for 8 weeks) and i just started with both of them yesterday..... as yet no obvious side effects.

MY SHORT TERM GOALS

I will try to eat more healthily and exercise more frequently
I will excersise with another fatty to aid success
I will help others by posting calory counted recipes

I will update here after my 4 week weigh in.......B

I am currently using 10mg of reductil - in 8 weeks (with regular exercise like walking the dogs & my full time job). I have lost a total of 38lb. However, this is no miracle drug, you still need the determination to want to suceed - and there will still be tough days.

I have changed my diet & eating habits completely - I also see a dietician monthly.

Hi!

Im new to the forums and starting my new "life" and new diet tomorrow after booking a holiday for december. Im replying to your post because i have had both xenical and reductil and found the side effects to xenical horrific, whereas i got on really well with reductil. Im off back to the doctors on wednesday to start my weight loss regime and this time its a change for life.

hello! i am just wondering why do you want to buy them online? and particularly girls just to know..Reductil has been banned! so are you not taking this into consideration, are you not afraid?

thanx
