Have you heard of diet pills?

Is it possible to lose weight by taking a pill?

Would you (or have you) tried it?

Do you think they are dangerous?
 
Yes to all of the questions.
 
Dexamyl ...... was a brand name combination drug composed of sodium amobarbital (previously called amylbarbitone and its brand name Amytal) and dextroamphetamine sulfate (Dexedrine) within the same pill. It was widely abused, and is no longer manufactured.

Oh yes, it worked really well, maybe too well. The doctors were handing it out like Halloween candy. You could work, work, work & be like an energizer bunny 'round the clock without eating or sleeping. I imagine that it took a toll on one's heart & nerve function; and it was really hard to 'kick'.

:shock: Sounds like speed or meth to me. I suppose its a good thing they discontinued it.

Yes, I think it was considered an amphetamine; with the advent of the popularity of METH-amphetamine, I've thought there must not much difference.

amphetamine synonyms =
pep pill
speed

Just very tired, couldn't get much done. After a while I guess it finally wore off. And I didn't exactly quit, I just couldn't get any more; this was all 'legal', doctors' prescriptions.
'Crackdown' ( :LOL: ) wave on the doctors started.
 
I think diet pills are risky. They're not good for your heart or your kidneys.
