Is
Prescription Didrex right for you?
by Sally LoBriglio
| We
have discussed lots of topics in the ConsumerHealthDigest.com
weight loss forum—diet, exercise, stress, anxiety, pms,
menopause, depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart
disease. But one topic that is sure to turn up week after
week is appetite suppression. So many people just cannot gain
control over their appetite, and we now know that more than
just will-power is required to fight the battle of the bulge
–and win. |

Unfortunately,
human beings have been hard-wired with large appetites for the
purpose of increasing the chance of survival in ancient times.
In times of scarcity, this trait was necessary for the survival
of our ancestors. However, in modern times, where most of us encounter
an excess of accessible, relatively inexpensive, calorically dense
foods, this trait causes considerably more harm than good.
Large
appetites, combined with the excess accessibility of inexpensive,
calorically dense foods, unfortunately for us, is a formula for
disaster. Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S.
and continues to grow in size and severity. And we know that obesity
leads to cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes, as
well as a number of other serious health conditions which can
have drastic implications. So what can we do on our end to silence
the call of our ravenous, often out of control appetites and finally
put an end to weight gain?
In light of the recent obesity epidemic, a number of products
have appeared on the market aimed at weight loss and appetite
suppression. These products include vitamin, mineral, and herbal
supplements, as well as prescription pharmaceutical medications
which can only be obtained under a doctor’s recommendation.
A
solution may now be available for you.
By using an appetite
suppressant, and finding ways to restore normal, balanced eating
habits, it may be possible to lose weight as well as the stress
of dieting through willpower alone, and get your life back on
track.
Prescription Drug Didrex
Benzphetamine hydrochloride, generic name for the appetite suppressant
Didrex. Didrex is indicated only for the short-term
(few weeks) management of obesity. Tolerance to the appetite suppressant
effects usually develops within a few weeks, at which time the
drug will become ineffective and use should be discontinued. Caution
should be used, as Didrex has been indicated in the development
of cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart, that diminishes the
heart's performance.
Didrex is related chemically and pharmacologically to the
amphetamines. The use of amphetamines and related drugs may be
associated with intense psychological dependence and severe social
dysfunction. Discontinued use may result in withdrawal-like symptoms
including extreme fatigue and depression. Side effects may also
include skin abnormalities, insomnia, irritability, hyperactivity,
personality changes, and psychosis.
Are
there alternatives?
Non-Prescription All Natural Appetite Suppressants
What makes a non-prescription appetite suppressant product so
appealing? Is it the all natural and non-physically addictive
properties? Prescription products pose the risk for too many potential
side effects and drug interactions.
The elite non-prescription products contain thermogenic ingredients
which support weight loss through not only one, but dual mechanisms:
1:
suppress the appetite
2: increase metabolic rate and the number of
calories burned
You might not need to resort to prescription strength drugs to
achieve your weight loss goals. All natural supplements can support
a safe and effective weight loss regimen. Natural supplements
give you an excellent alternative to prescription strength appetite
suppression drugs. These products have limited side effects, less
drug interactions, and are less expensive than alot of the prescription
strength appetite suppressants available on the market today.
Unlike prescription appetite suppressants, alternative therapies
can be used with a greater amount of safety and ease.
What is the best all natural appetite
suppressant on the market today?
We
reviewed over 50 different all natural appetite suppressants on
the market today. At the conclusion of our research, we found
Lipovarin™, manufactured by Sterling Grant Laboratories,
demonstrates overall safety
and effective weight loss results at a reasonable cost. That is
why we have rated it Consumer Health Digest's Best Buy!
