| Hi all, Ive decided not to take the tablets anymore,yes I'm very disapointed. But I couldnt handle the side effects. My son said to me this morning that the past week Ive been so mean to him. The slightest repetitive sounds would set me off, even the tv, or stereo being to loud. The computer in in the same room as the playstation, I couldnt even handle that. So i didnt take it today, I do feel better, no tingles. Bit spacy still. i just got back from the health food shop and bought some nautral suppressants. I wish everyone good luck in there weight loss journey, Cheers |

| hi, just thought i'd share this! ive been on reductil now for 6 weeks...it should be longer but at 5 and a bit weeks i stopped taking my tablet because i was sick and i didnt want to waste them when i was laying around too sick to do anything..but anyway..i started taking them again 3 days ago(10 mgs) and i feel like they are working better for me now then they did when i took them for the first ever time....my appitite has almost gone..im not getting dry mouth nearly as bad and i just feel better! so if you feel like the reductil is losing effect on you a bit maybe you could stop taking it for a few days then start again! it might be different for others but for me its worked great!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi wallea00, I know just trying to be positive. Thurs is my day so we'll see. Hope to get 2 more months script and hopefully I'll be back to a healthy size | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Hillbilly, I havent lost any weight this week. But I'm not dwelling on it. Hopefully the scales will show a bigger loss next week. Atleast during the week just gone I did a little more exercise than normal. Lilly |

| Hi Adamkelley, 1 stone in 3 weeks is fantastic. You must be feeling so good. Lilly |

| Hi All, I changed from 10mg to 15mg a week ago. And to be honest I didn't notice any difference. I am still feeling hungry, and have not lost any wieght this week. But in saying that I am due for my P over the weekend and it is typical for me to retain fluid the week prior and the week of my P. So this could be the reason. Can anyone recommend anything for fluid retention. My ankles are aching like crazy due to the fluid. |

| hey there A, what does your doctor think about you still feeling hungry? and i personally would go on the 15mg after this batch ur finishes... I felt that way on my third week(15mg), especially on my days off, but then something happened and , i dont know it comes and goes, but it appears my body is getting use to the amount of cals im giving Today i start month number 2-15mg and have lost now 13kilos, a kilo more than i did since the last time i updated the board...hope this new month i lose just as much, i work out everyday at work so this helps me shed those kilos i guess.. good luck! If the wind will not serve, then take the oars. ps: where you from?, i see a time difference, i am assuming ur from Australia, im from sydney and am just about to get ready for another day at work(gym) lol |

| Hi all im current on 10mg of reds and have lost one stone in three weeks, I have asked my doctor to give me the 15mg as I feeling very hungry most of the time now, has anyone changed from the 10mg to the 15mg and how they found them, wonder if the side effect come back, any information you can give me will be great. Thanks A |

| Hi monstermunch Welcome to the board That isnt a professional thing for a doctor to say to you, he has not right denying you the tabs I am a private patient and pay €85 a month for my reds but I dont have a problem with any public or private getting them, that is a lot of bull if you ask me, next time ask him why? is it not your right to lose weight as well as the private paitents.... Anyway you only have just under one kilo to go in a week and I no that you can do it.. your doctor doesnt sound very nice at all, I would change your doctor... Good luck.. |

| I am on day 21 of taking Reductil 15mg. I'm sad to say that the side effects of feeling quite hyper have now worn off, as I quite enjoyed them. I have managed to lose 9lbs since I started the reds (6lb first week, 0 second week, 3lb third week). I have increased my excercise a little, as I already do quite a bit in my kickboxing classes twice a week. I have to go back to see my GP next week to get another prescription, but I am a bit worried he won't prescribe again as he wasn't too keen on me having them in the first place (his quote "we usually only prescribe them for our private paitents"), and he said he expects me to have lost 5kg while using them. |

| Hi Hillbilly chick38 Well its hard and im surprise that i have lost that amount myself but I wasnt eating a lot, now I have increased the amount that im eating so it will slow down , but im also n a throid tablet as i have an underactive throid so that was slowly increase my weight over the years so I think the two tablets together is working... I have also been excerising a lot as well and drinking lots of water.. 7 pounds is a lot to lose as well i went about five days with losing anything and got a bit disheartned as well but in day 7 the scales was down.. maybe few thiings stopping you losing weight, are you havent enough no.2's I wasnt for a while and had to take some extra fibre for it, also drinks lots of water are you excerising a lot? if you are you could be losing inches ( I found that too ) if your not excerising try and do some or incease it a bit, once you get all your eggs lined up in the basket it will start to work... I no that I wont lose that amound again in three weeks so im aiming for 7lbs a month for November and December, that will be two stone and i will be happy to keep that off.. dont give up.. your on the road to your ideal weight..

| Hi all just in relation to the side effects, im still haven a fas heart beat and sweats every now and then, but I think that is worth it i have been o them since the 1st October and have lost a stone in weight which is 6.37kilos.. Find that im a bit short at time times but im only going to be taken them for three months |

| the head tingles and the dizziness does subside over a week or two. I found that is was worse if my sugar levels were low.. try sucking on a small sweet eat something light. After 3 motnhs on 10mg my temper is still very short and I get alot angrier over smaller things. Not a big deal and the weight loss is worth it. Panic Attacks- In regards to the attacks, reductil can increase your heart rate. Were you having panic attacks before or are you perhaps a little nervous about taking Reductil. I know I was. Once your on it for a while and the sifde effects basically dissapear then you realise its nothing, in fact I barely feel any effects at all... but teh weight is still dropping so I wont stop taking it just yet. If side effects are really worrying you then definately see your doc. Its better to be safe then sorry :) |

| hi donnahiggins. Ive been feeling the same as you. Spaced out, very moody ( kids cant do anything right) My head is all tingly at times. This is day 5or6 for me, I too wonder if the side effects will go away. I will give it till next week I think. I cant continue to feel this way. Isnt there anyone else that has felt this way.I havent got on the scales yet, but feel less bloated. I also find caffeine effects my tingles in the head. I probably sound like a wierdo. I'm a bit worried to. Someone throw us a lifeline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! |

| Hi Kimberley im 101kg and 180cm. The doc gave me a script for one month of 10mg and 2 repeats for the 15mg i got a bit frustrated today so i started the 15mg. so im hoping that will help. i have been on a diet for about 3 months now excercising for the same amount of time to and have only lost about 4kgs. i have never found it so hard to loose weight as i have this time. i do drink alot of water (i have to the tablets give me very dry mouth). thanks so much for thoughts it helps :). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tanya- I was is the exact position you are. Whats your height and weight. I am on 1500 cal a day.. but barely making that. I excercise 3-5 times a week. Ive only ever been on 10mg and its now been 3 months. I started at 86kg (173cm) and today I reached 74kg! It definately works, you just have to be very patient. remember how long it took you to put on this weight.. it cant come off overnight. A kilo a week (as boring as it sounds) is perfect weightloss. My body has done through two plateaus so far but I have to keep pushing through. Once your body gets used to the idea that its losing weight it becomes easier. A little tip- the days I drink more water are the days I lose more weight. Your body wont hold onto fluid if its getting enough. Also, make sure your doing number twos regulary (gross I know) but it definately effects your weight. Be patient and dont give up. Its definately going to happen so just get excited and think about that end result!! |

| Hi:) Have you tried going on 15mg? Is sounds as though it works slightly different on each person? I have been on 10mg for 2 weeks and have lost 3kg, for the first few days I didnt feel like eating at all, then i felt normal again (hungry all the time). I have been eating bad, but I have noticed I feel fuller quicker then before. I am going to ask Dr if I can go on 15mg it might make a difference? Has anyone noticed that 15mg works alot better then 10mg? |

| Hi donnahiggins, as i wrote earlier and a few others did too i think those feelings get a bit better. Did not have panic attacks but can still feel a little lightheaded and giddy sometimes, like you need a sugar hit or something. I'm on day 17 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi I am new to posting but I just wanted some advice if anyone can help me. I have been taking reductil for 6 days and during this time I have had a number of dizzy spells, panic attacks and I feel so spaced out all the time. Basically I feel like I'm high (but trust me it's not pleasant) I just wondered if anyone else has experienced these side effects and to see if they do fade away as I am now a bit worried :-( | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
