| banjossgirl - you should NOT be taking Citalopram and Reductil together. This can be quite dangerous and your Doctor should be struck off for allowing it. Please stop immediately and see another Doctor. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I have stopped taking reductil as i was suffering from really bad panic attacks. Ive been off them newarly 2 weeks and i have noticed such a differance. Whn i was on reductil i was eating healthy and loads of energy eat a regular times and no cravings. now that im off them my cravings have come back 10 fold, im constantly hungry so snacking and eating things that are really bad for you and the energy i had has all gone. This is what i had feared would happen when i stopped taken these. I will really need to work hard on my will power as i didnt need it when i was on these. I hope when you guys stop talking these you dont go this way. I was on reductil for 2 months | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks Jessicabults that's really nice of you to respond. Yes I will put the scales away because I'm becoming addicted to weighing myself. I will try walking too. I have so many niggly aches and pains - probably due to my weight - so I keep putting it off. You'll hear me celebrating from across the miles when I do actually lose the weight! Hehe. Thanks again. |

| hi banjossgirl dont lose heart ive herd that sometimes it can take up to a month for it to start working properly, i spose its different for averyone, have you tried excercising i started to walk a few afternoons a week and i found that it helped me to kick start my body. also dont weigh yourself all the time (i should take my own advice) i know its hard because your eager to know if its working and it can be exciting waiting for the result, but beleive me its a much better feeling when you leave it a week or two between weigh ins and it helps to keep you on track mentally knowing that you have a weigh in coming up. as a suggestion what i try and do is pick a day same time and in the same clothes and weigh my self once a week. keep to it and keep ypur spirits high remeber your doing it to feel good about yourself so try not to bring yourself down, keep us posted on how your going. good luck. |

| Hi there, I've been on Reductil for 6 days now and haven't lost any weight! I'm on 10mg and am not over eating at all. In fact I know that I'm eating less. I weigh 13 stone so my doctor has said I'm 2.5 stone overweight although I know myself that I could do with losing 3.5 stone. (Sorry I can't convert to kilos.) I'm also on 10mg a day Citalopram a mild anti depressent for anxiety. I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I'm going to keep taking them but I've come on here because you all seem so friendly and supportive. I might be due my period too but I never know when!! Chelle |

| Hi all, I've been using Reductil 15 for five days now and suprisingly i have lost 5 kilos without any excersise! I am 163cm tall and started at 90 kilos but after losing the 5k i am now 85 kilos. I am soooooooo happy with the results so far, i know it will probably slow down by next week so thats why i plan to excersise this time. My doctor told me that people usually lose maybe 3 to 4 kilos a month but i guess everybody is different. I am only 29 years old and have POCS and Glaucoma. I was going blind and the doctor told me it was caused by my weight gain and in order for the Glaucoma to go i must lose a lot of weight. My goal is to be 55 to 58 kilos. I have had little side effects which include loss of appetite i dont feel hunger or cravings whatsoever, i dont get much sleep because i find it hard to fall asleep and i have a lot more energy. I try to force myself to eat maybe two, three times a day having mostly fruit and vegies and a small portion of meat. I have read a lot of your messages, it's great to see that we can help motivate each other. I'll keep you all updated on my progress :) |

| hey i started on the 10 ml and for the first 2 weeks it was great and i lost about 3.5 kilos but after that nothing, i have stepped up to the 15 ml and its been working alot better, ive lost 1kg so far and have been on it ofr 5 days, ive found that if i have a good breaky like cereal and toast im not hungry till about 2ocloak and then i jsut have a shake and maybe some fruit and that usually does me till dinner, maybe u should try that on the 10ml and see how it goes, also my doctor told me that sometimes up to a week before you are due for ur period you can gain alot of fluid and not alot can happen so keep, that in mind also. i think that the 10ml didnt work for me because my body is used to taking so many tablets i suffer from cronic migranes and find it hard to find medication to work as i take alot of tablets to try and ease my headaches,, i dont know if this applies to u but in my experiance i think this could also contribute. hope any of this can help |

| Im trying to loose weight to fit into my wedding dress. Ive got 4 months to do it in. Ideally id like to loose 20kg but if i could at least loose 10kg i would be over the moon. ive been on 10mg reductil for 10 days now. I have had the feeling of being fuller longer, but thats about it. I still find that i am craving fatty oilly foods and dont have alot of self control when it comes to snacking. Can anyonegive me any tips on how to make this more effective. At the moment im feeling a little anoyed that a 2month perscription cost me $160 AUD and im not seeing any results, especially after reading about other peoples success stories. I feel asthough i might want to step it up to the 15mg, but dont want to throw the money already spent on them down the drain and at the same time continue to take something that i feel may not still be working. can anyone give me any advice on this ? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| John, not sure where you live but alot of doctors presribe it in Redcliffe. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi, I have been in Reductil for 2 months and lost 15kgs. Big girl was 132kgs. Dr gave me a go ahead ( he is abit against tablets). I have been big all my life and just wanted something to help me STOP EATING FOR THE SAKE OF IT. I am on the 10mgs and went to see a lap band surgeon prior to this and I realised I dont want this operation. That was the turning point. These tablets have worked for me. Have been having about 1600 calories a day. good luck | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi guys, On 10mg Reductil at the moment. Been on it for 7 days so far. It's giving me hot flushes (I go red easier than usual). Will this subside after a short while or will I have to deal with it throughout the treatment? Any help would be great! Thanks. |

| Hi I have been on Reductil for 6 weeks. 10 first month and lost 2.5kg and now 15 and have lost another couple of kgs, down to 75kg. So far very slow but definately reduces hunger although I still do get hunger and when I do I'm starving really quickly. Also havent found them to be an energy booster although I can now get though the day without needing a afternoon nap. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| and on top of that I am also noticing the first signs of aging, so you can imagine how bad I feel about myself, I just feel that I have lost my looks, my body and my youth in just a couple of years. To compensate for how I feel I spend hundreds of pounds on stupid things like DVDs, CDs, books, graphic novels, clothes and shoes, make-up, hair-cuts, etc. a couple months ago I spent a couple hundred on herbal slimming aids but none of them worked. I've even tried being on SlimFast for a full 2 weeks with no other food, which killed me, but had no result whatsoever. I think there is something wrong with me, I haven't had a period in over a year as the result of 2 injections, last one several months ago, I don't feel like a women anymore, I hate going out, I don't take my kids anywhere as a result of this, I don't spend much time in the mirror because I get angry with my appearance. A few years ago I could not eat for a few days and I'd loose pounds! now I can't seem to shift any of this repulsive fat that surrounds the real me, or is the real me gone? have I been eaten away? I desperately want reductil as I feel it is the only thing that will control my eating habits. I know you can buy ALLI in stores now but I don't think I eat enough fat for it to work, ( I don't eat sweets or chocolates etc) and the side effects would make me feel worse. the only thing that has worked is when I stopped putting 3 sugars in my tea, (which i used to drink 6 times a day) I lost 3 pounds, but I can't lose anymore, I can't stand water, in fact a full glass makes me sick for hours, I don't like juice either unless its pure, the problem is I spend all my money on stuff to make me feel happier in the house, (as I don't like to go out) so don't often have the money for healthier foods. I can't wear my nice clothes and shoes out as if I go out I will see pretty slim girls and get angry and upset because I feel I used to look as good if not better than them and now look at me! please help me. |

| Hi there, I weigh 70kg and am only 5"3 and I have pleaded with the doctors to give me reductil because I feel I over-eat, but they won't give me it, they keep harping on at me about excersize, when I've been paying £50 a month to go to a gym for the past 6 months, but I find it hard to go regular and then work out as well as raising kids and trying to study, in fact I never have any energy! I've found drinking lucozade helps me a little when working out, but I've lost all motivation after seeing no results. I eat pasta, rice, potatoes, cus cus, chips, mackeral, tuna and chicken with fried peppers, mushrooms, onions and tomatoes and that's pretty much it. that's all I eat, all the time, but in very large portions, I've tried smaller but always crave more after. I hate veg unless it is fried in olive oil with soya sauce and then mixed with a chosen meat. for snacks I eat brown toast, bagels, sushi, crumpets, noodles and pasta n sauce. sometimes I eat oven food for dinner such as kievs and chips with maceroni or reveoli. that's about everything I eat. I don't eat cereal, for breakfast I eat porridge or spam and eggs with waffles. 2 years ago I was 10 stone, (before that had been 9 but went up to 10 in a year) I was ok at 10 stone, it suited my bodyshape, although I had a bit of flab on my belly it was nothing major and I was still a size 10-12, if I'd lost a few pounds I would have been a good size 10. however I started to put on weight and went up another few pounds, then I went on DEPO PROVERA- the contraceptive injection and within a few months was 11 stone! this has made me very unhappy, this is the weight I was with my first child 6 years ago at full term pregnancy! I feel hideous, I can't come to terms with how I look, I used to like looking in the mirror, I was pretty, got alot of attention and had a nice figure. because of that I find it even harder to accept that I am now a beast, no-one looks twice at me, my face is fat, the skin on it has gone a bit ruddy ... |
