I haven't taken a Diet Pill in 5 days
I don't want them anymore and I broke that nasty habit. I was taking them for 6 weeks and sleeping 2 hours each night.

I treated one of my friends like garbage and I didn't mean to and I will make it up to the person.

5. LOL
You know it honey! I am so damn sleeping now that I can't hold my head up and I have two weeks filled with finals and I have to make my in-completes up.

I love my Chefs because they have been there and I am honest with them.

One is an old Hippie and he is COOL MAN at least that what he calls himself but he is.

Phenamentrazine? I don't have the bottle any more because I don't want the number to the pharmacy which was out of state.

2. I am glad Corarose
Congratulations on breaking that habbit.

PS.. the stimulant aspect is bad for your heart. I'll bet your heart rate has slowed down quite a bit.

3. I have the opposite of Diabetes
You get hypoglycemia when you have stomach stapling and I was freaking out from taking the damn things.

I was mixing them with my pain killers and they were messing me up so bad that I slept about two hours per night.

What's funny about it I still have A's in cooking and I actually invented my own essence and my Teachers/Chefs love it.

Thanks!

6. I am back to drinking 8 cups of coffee per day
Thanks!

I hurt a good friends feelings and I pushed his buttons and I was a B*TCH.

He knows who he is and I am so sorry for doing it.

9. Thanks
I was hooked on them for 10 years. I was a fat kid and my Mom took me to the Doctor and he put me on them at 16 years old.

11. good for you
Some diet pills have a scary effect on my personality, and I don't even know why I ever took them. I didn't even have the excuse of trying to lose weight. :-(

12. I lost one friend from DU because of it
I have to move on and try to put it behind me. They do change your personality and you don't realize it until its too late.

I wouldn't have gotten the pills If I had gone to the Doctor because you have to be at least 30 pounds overweight.

13. cora, when I quit smoking
I went into coffee overdrive for over a year - it finally levelled off to where I wasn't drinking coffee all day long.
