I am 27 years old, 5'3 and my regular weight is 120 (with muscle) I overall eat healthy, and exercise. After medication I rapidly gained 15 + pounds. SO I decided (weeks ago) to stop taking the meds for personal reasons and buy over the counter diet pills. I bought the pills last week but only took it once because I got sick. I understand the "negative" side effects but I NEED to get rid of the extra tummy weight so I'm going to try taking them soon. In the meantime, I just started my first spinning class tonight with my sister. It was definitely a work out! I decided that I NEED to go back on meds because without them I'm way too unstable so I'm going to talk to my psychiatrist and see what options are out there.....
