Does anyone have experience with hunger suppressing tablets, pescribed by Dr?

Question:

I've heard some positive things and want to go tonight and get some. My Dr said he was concerned that when I stopped taking them, I'd gain back my weight and them some. Why would I have to stop taking them I wonder?I think it'll also help me to distinguish emotional, physcological eating from real hunger, as if I feel full and still eat, I know it's psycological..if that makes sense!?

I want a couple of months to shrink my stomach and reeducate myself with regards to portions and obesessive compulsive eating. I think these tabs may help. If after a 2 mth course I reduce my intake by half, surely it will continue to help if I am controlling myself adequately?

Answers:
I have had friedns try them with alot of luck and friends who hated them. I think it depends on the kind and the person. After awhile one of my friends, her body got used to them and they no longer helped. Another friend quit hers b/cause she felt like she was on speed and could feel her heart racing. I have tried some over the counter ones and they hurt my stomach so much there was no way i would eat anything, thats not a pleasant way to lose weight. i would like to try so doc prescribed ones but my sis is a heart doc and she tells me no that they can affect your heart and liver to much and wont let me...so i am listening to her and have been doing portion control on my own and telling myself i am full and adding lots of water to my stomach instead of food..and yes i am a stress and emotions eater.anything that effects my heart and blood pressure worries me.pills worry me more than a few extra pounds.

No don't do that sort of thing to my body
