Hello! I just wanted to know if anyone ever heard of abusing diet pills? I hear of starving yourself and making yourself puke and I actually got over laxative abuse when I found out I was pregnant in 2005. I have to say from experience that eating disorders are no fun! yes it is a quick fix but at the end I was no more happy with my self weighing 30lbs less with the laxitives. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone is or heard of someone taking to many diet pills and what the long and short term side effects are. I am not talking about taking the average 6 a day I'm talking about 6-12+ a day. Thanks for any info.

well, as I understand it, abuse of diet pills (which I think are bad anyway) can basically lead to all kinds of complications such as dizziness, nerves, palpitations, chest pains, raised blood pressure and heart rate and addiction. Diet pills are a strong drug!
