Losing weight through prescription medication?

WAN · #1 03-02-2009, 09:10 PM

Hi..

Is there any meds that one can take that will speed up the metabolism/help burn off the calories faster?

I don't want to take appetite suppressants (though I have them) because I love to eat. I just want to be able to lose weight without exercising at all while eating a lot..

Thanks.

Well, there are already medical conditions where people lose weight despite eating a lot, diabetes, hyper-thyroidism..etc. I dont see why the medical community can't just come up with a drug that simulates one of those diseases...they'd make a ton of money.

As far as prescriptions go, adderall/ritalin/concerta will make you drop weight real quick.

Anima Mundi · #7 03-03-2009, 01:18 AM

This is just a stupid topic.

minor69ner · #8 03-03-2009, 08:03 AM

Topamax.

THIS.

Quite being fat and lazy, show a little initiative, will power, and discipline to be fit. There's this thing i've heard about before, a long time ago...

determination?

Fat poster successful at being fat. &lazy

Oh yea: and if you don't eat all the fucking time, the foods you love will be EVEN BETTER! Moderation is you're friend.

Get a prescription of willpower

JREwing · #11 03-04-2009, 03:26 PM

In the long run they don't work forever, but consider the ECA stack, or if Ephedrine is hard to get, Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed, check label though) is a weaker substitute that's OTC. Increase dose by 3x for Sudafed though.

Paul Reveres Horse · #12 03-04-2009, 08:39 PM

What you're asking for isn't really feasible... just exercise. Or eat more frequently during the day but in smaller portions if you're that opposed to exercising.

JREwing · #13 03-04-2009, 08:57 PM

Wait, if she eats what she says she wants and exercises enough to keep the weight off, wouldn't she wind up with obscene muscles?

Irukanji · #14 03-05-2009, 04:24 AM

Fluid Tablets.

Or Caffeine.

Problem solved. You will "lose" weight, guaranteed. Drink nothing for 3 days.

reggie_love · #15 03-05-2009, 04:32 AM

You could try sawing off a leg. That oughtta let you drop some pounds really quick.

EllisD · #16 03-05-2009, 02:31 PM

take 20 shits a day, without wiping.

and theres always Green Tea pills, supposed to boost metabolism and give energy.

Thought Riot · #17 03-05-2009, 02:49 PM

how about you just lesser the amount of calories you eat and cut simple sugars from your diet? Or excercise?

And yes, just take amphetamines. Just don't watch Requiem for a Dream. Might turn you off of your retarded little idea. Goddamnit, we're getting pathetic. People don't want to do any work for what they want anymore. They just want someone else to have a magic fix ready for them.

Come to think about it, pretend to have cancer and get chemo.

Getting fit and being thin are two different aspirations, and people who want one may not want the other. In this day and age, it is very possible to have one without the other.

You stole that from ATHF

There are a lot advertised on TV - things like lipozene and the like. If you do decide to go this route, please, PLEASE google what you're getting yourself into. I had a friend die because of some weight loss pills he was taking. The pills happened to have something else in them that was lethal in large or prolonged doses...

Either way, there are tons of links on google disputing the effectiveness/contents of these drugs.

The ADD drugs are temporary. But the Topamax seemed to last longer.

I read the part about dieting aid, but this is a cellular metabolic poison. still sounds scary.

The best diet is one to just eat more or less calories to gain or loose wait. After trying Topamax for migraines, I had to try to gain back some weight. It was the most effective drug as it killed my already low appetite for food.

Struwwelpeter · #25 03-14-2009, 03:36 PM

It's not even calories that make you fat, they play a role, but it's mostly carbs.

Whatever. The idea is to eat smaller meals and quit being a fat pig with portion size.

Struwwelpeter · #27 03-14-2009, 03:53 PM

Why do people even give a fuck if they're fat? Even the skinny looking people I see are skinny fat, they look slim but they have a considerable amount of bodyfat once you get closer to them. If everyone is such a god damned fat ass, who the fuck cares, shut your god damned asses up.

Same here. Topamax totally fucked up my memory though and made my breath/body smell at random times.

Proots · #31 03-15-2009, 01:32 PM

Is it really so hard to simply watch what you eat/exercise a little bit?

Seriously, now.

Determination?! Self control?! I don't know if you have noticed, but most people don't have much of either.

I had to stop it after a couple months because it was making me feel like I had electricity in my head, other than that it was an awesome drug.

I read that it is bad for people with very high stress levels, so maybe that is what caused some of the side effects.

Probably. The first few weeks I felt like I was high after I took it.

Amphetamines.

Suppressed appetite, causes weight loss, etc, etc.

Will probably cause changes in your behavior (That you'll notice).

k8e · #36 03-17-2009, 10:36 AM

phentermine.

And hopefully the amphetamines will get you free lodgings and a new best friend called Bubba the well hung black man...

Irukanji · #38 03-18-2009, 04:34 PM

Pure AP in your shoes. Your GUARANTEED(unless your a shit chemist) to lose weight, fast. It, um....helps suck the fat from you(yes...that'll work eheheheh)
