I take Paxil also and Synthroid......the Paxil is for Anxiety and the Synthroid is for my underactive Thyroid. There have been some talk about Paxil and Adipex but nothing concrete. I only take 1/2 of the pill per day and it is doing wonders. I am 31 and when I went to my Dr. my blood pressure was 137/92 I think which isn't super super high but its definatly getting there. My colesteral was 215 which again is only 15 points high, but its getting there. All of the major things brought on by weight are starting for me. I was NOT diabetic nor boarderling YET but my Dr. said if the weight doesn't come off he can almost bet me I will be a type 2 Diabetic within 5 years.
So.....I think that the unknown or slight risks associated with Paxil/Adipex are worth it when you compare them to the risks I will have if I don't loose the weight. I have probably at least 130 pounds that I would like to get off.....but heck even 50 pounds right now would make a HUGE difference and with the Adipex I can actually see that the whole 130 is possible!
In the state of Mississippi a doctor is only allowed to give you a 2 month RX for Adipex because as you probably know it can be habit forming.....however, and I'm not telling anyone to do this or what to do, BUT you can order the Xenical, Phenterimine, Adipex, etc. online. I haven't done it because my doctor said once he had given me the 2 month supply he would have his associate give me another 2 months if the medicine seemed to be working for me....which it is!
In my opinion you just have to weigh the risks.....even though the Xenical doesn't have any large risks the simple truth is everyone that I know that has taken it just hasn't shown any progress.
Good Luck!!
