  • I personally didn't want to take Xenical, because of the horrible effects it has on your GI system! I take meridia and love it!! My blood pressure has dropped dramatically and I lost 17 lbs last month alone!! Of course I eat good and exercise hard almost daily! Good Luck

  • What is this medication you speak of? Is it perscription?
  • It is Meridia, and its kind of controversial two people that I know who tried to get on it after I did, their doctor wouldnt prescribe it. But it works for me and I have no ill side effects from it! Quite the contrary actually I feel wonderful! It is a prescription but most insurance doesnt cover it, mine luckily does. Without insurance its about 95 bucks a month, I only pay 20 which is my med copay.
    Just remember, that a pill isn't going to lose the weight for you, you have to commit to eating healthy, and lots of hard hard exercise! A pill may work in the short term but if you don't work at it then its worthless, you have to change your bad habits, thats assuming you have some, and exercise!
    Good Luck

    Morning!

    I stumbled into this site and decided to join. This is my first time on and have been wondering around in the forum. Has anyone tried cortaslim and if so was your experience positive?

    I have alot of weight in my stomache area. I tend to believe some of the information I have read about stress contributing to this.

    Thanks L.

    Hi! And welcome!

    I have been using CortiSlim for a month now, along with following a weight loss program and doing daily exercise (walking). I believe that the CortiSlim helps take the edge off my evening carbohydrate craving, which has always been hard for me to get past. Also, my blood pressure, which is usually 112/75, is now around 106/65. I don't believe the weight loss program is responsible for this change because I've only been on the weight program for a month. The walking might be helping, though.

    I can't tell you how much I've lost because I'm not supposed to weigh for six weeks. But I know I'm down.

    I believe the CortiSlim is a positive part of my program, but I can't prove it. Please read a lot before you decide to try it because it does cost some money (3 months for $100--with the 3 for 2 deal).

    Good luck!
  • I believe that whatever works for you is the best thing you should do for yourself. I am just glad we are all here conquering the "war against fat"!

    Congrats to all the losers! And congrats to everyone for being here trying to make a difference!

    I have to say I have been using cortislim for about three weeks now. I have always worked out four or five days a week and eat healthy but I am getting married in September and the stress has hit me hard! Cortislim calms me down and supresses my appetite. I have NO side effects, I can't say enough about this program. I also have not weighed myself because it gets me down but I can say that for the first time in a year my stomach is down. It's quite weird because I keep thinking it's impossible to have a flat stomach and yet I do.
    I think it's wonderful and only paid $40 for my bottle at the vitamin store in the mall.
    Just remember though this may not work for you, and it's not a diet miracle, you cant eat anything you want. Moderation is key!
