It is important to understand that these two drugs
are not miracle workers and the fat will not just melt away; any drug that says
so is a scam and is not good for your body at all. You must put work in to receive results. Yes, if these drugs work they will help
individuals lose weight, but I would not depend on a pill to help me lose
weight if I were you. What happens when
you stop your pills? This means you are
no longer having your serotonin levels increased or appetite
suppressant/feelings of fullness. Once
you start the pills, it seems unlikely that you will be able to maintain your
results once you are no longer taking them.
Do you want to take a weight loss pill for the rest of your life?
Also take into account the potential side effects
that will be involved. In the past, many
prescription diet pills have been associated with dangerous side effects,
particularly heart problems. Belviq will
more than likely be scheduled as a controlled substance because if serotonin is
levels are too high, it could trigger effects of hallucinogens and addictive
drugs of abuse. Also, if your serotonin
levels are too high, it can lead to “Serotonin
Syndrome”. Qsymia has potentially serious side effects
such as: elevated heart rate, teratogenicity,
suicidality risk, cognitive
dysfunction, metabolic
acidosis and low serum bicarbonate. Both drugs have their fair share of side effects,
in time everyone will see what other dangers are present with these drugs.
Consider all factors when looking into these
programs. Yes, they are both FDA
approved, but are you really wanting to go down the path of pills? Obesity is a growing problem in the United
States and it seems to be getting worse.
You do have people who care about your wellbeing; find a group that will
walk with you through your weight loss journey.
