I'm addicted to diet pills!.....?

Question

i have been taking stacker 3 for a few months now, I was really impressed wityh how they worked! I lost weight, and have energy. But, as my work and school load got heavier, and i started to get dpressesd, i would take more of the pills, more often. like, taking more then one a day.
I have come to the realization that I have a problem. I braethe the pills, i take them automatically, before the effects where out. This way, I dont have to worry bout the timing, and I'm always on cloud 9. These pills are mow consuming my life. I can't sleep, my decisions are irrational. But all i want is the pill. I can't live without them. however, i'm a manager, a college student, and single mom. These pills help releve the stress...and keepo me energized.
so, i have a prob. I admit to needing help. i have serious mood swings. What is the best way to get off the pills? I CAN"t go cold turkey, and can;'t do it alone. Would a rehab clinic help with this kind of addiction? What do i do?Plz help!

Answer 1

I know what you're going through. Don' stop cold turkey. Pay attention to how many you take a day, and slowly reduce the amount over about 3 weeks or so...and if you feel the need to take another pill, have some coffee (still caffiene, but at least you won't be getting the other stuff). If you want stimulants after that, stick to something mild like coffee...and take your vitamins! This stuff will leech your vitamins outta you!

Good luck with it all! :)

Answer 2

Being addicted to Stacker 3 is almost the same as being addicted to Speed.

Flush them, and do not take any diet pills.
"All diet pills are a form of Speed !!"

Exercise alot. Especially Cardio. And eat healthy, and in Moderation.
You'll lose weight and will have energy.

If you can't stop on your own, Do go to a drug rehab. clinic asap. Honestly, an addiction to diet pills is just as bad as an addiction to recreational drugs, except diet pills are not illegal - yet !

Answer 3

you depend on those pills like you would need friends for acceptance. When things get out of control you take those pills because inside you you think they are the only true friends and the ones who understand. Thats being dependent of the pills. You are harming yourself. Find other ways to manage that stress those moments (when you take the pills) bring to you by using other things like chewing gum or with a bean bag or stress ball something that isnt that harmful to yourself.

Answer 4

i would definately not go cold turkey....i truly know nothing about those pills or the side effects or what happens when you go off of them......if you have a physical addiction (which it sounds like you do) you need to be weaned off the pills under the care of a physician to do it safely....you might ask your family doctor for hellp with a referal to a rehab, or he may be able to help you himself.....you also need to learn other ways of coping with the stress in your life without drugs...you might learn new coping skills at rehab or with a therapist.....perhaps you can postpone finishing your schooling for a bit to lighten the load as you go thru all these changes....good luck!!

Answer 5

You can safely and without any severe withdrawal go cold turkey on stackers.

Just quit...talk to a psychiatrist (MD), some times there can be some rebound hypertension (high blood pressure) that can unsue so you may want to be supervised every few days or so during the first week.

Good luck...stay strong you can do it!

Answer 6

yes rehab clinic will help. Good luck...i also was addicted to those but strong enough to come off of them on my own.

Answer 7

try getting extremly drunk if you have the time. then the next day you wont want anything in your stomach including the pills. or replace the pills with energy drinks - redbull etc...

Answer 8

Answer 9
