Hello Raine: This is how I have found too send you more information within this site.
There could be a possibility that by already mixing the pills, has caused you too over-react too your current situation, because that is what some diet pills do. They speed up a person's energy rate, kinda like "speed".
I would stop all medications pertaining too diet pills. Many find by flushing your body with pure water a great help, at least increase your water intake so you have 8-10 12oz. glasses of water per day, don't over-do passed 20. That would be too much.
Set back and regroup, take in several deep breaths and slowly let them out, up too 3 seperate times, put some soothing music on and be in quiet, start thinking about you.
Get out your paper, write down how much weight you actually want too loose. If it is 50 or more pounds that may sound like a lot, but remember you did not gain too the point you are now, over-night, so your mind, body and soul have too slowly prepare too readjust and loose the extra pounds gradually. Think of it as getting ready too give YOU for Xmas a really big and wonderful present, all for you, plus the great self esteem high you will get when you do this on your own.
But say you want too loose 50 pounds, Xmas is about 6 months away, so one would have too loose 8.3 pounds per month, or 2.1 pound per week(given a 4 week month). Then the weight does not seem so over-whelming and one can adjust too that small figure better, because just like a bank, saving in small amounts will end up eventually big, so goes with weight loss.
Then go out and buy a natural food weight loss calorie counting book, many come in very ecconomical paperback small books, some found in grocery stores, but you will get the approx. caloric value in many natural eating foods, including salads, breads, popcorn, pop, and other normal foods we ingest, even books for fast food resturants, then go too a weight loss area in your general hospital, and ask for help in finding out what you should weigh, and how many calories per day should you eat too reach that goal, and what you should eat too maintain that weight, also your blood pressure and heart rate can be obtained, then usually you can weigh in weekly by a Nurse without cost.
Please stop the pills, that is so important especially now, while you are mentally out of sorts, but with calm and constant planning you can readjust yourself and come back too a more relaxed state.
Please let me know how you are doing.
My Best too You,

I'm a dancer, I'm 5feet 8inches and I'm 130lbs...I don't feel that I need to lose weight. Due to abuse at work I can't stand the person I see when I look at the mirror. My boss is making me lose weight, he thinks at 130lbs i'm obese, and I need to be 110. I need this job. I work 3jobs and I'm a med student. I should know that mixing pills is like mixing Tylenol and alcohol. Alone tylenol isn't dangerous, its deadly when mixed with any amount of alcohol. It wasn't until I started getting sick that I though that I needed to check and get some back up information about not mixing diet pills. Thank you. I'm in a horrible position right now, I'm just letting my past mix with my present, and my goals mess with my mind and body. I don't eat as it is, diet pills aren't the answer. But thats the only way I can lose this weight. I'm scared to see a doctor. But with whats happening and I'm feeling....I need help. Serious help, I just need to find the courage to get it. I came this far, now I need to get some friends who will help push me. Thanks again. I'll keep you updated on everything goes, if you wish.
