Have you ever taken diet pills while on medication for being bipolar?

Question

My doctor told me it was not a good mix probably. Another doctor said to try it. I am talking about prescription Adapex--not sure how to spell it. Have you taken that or any other type of diet pill while on your meds? I take Abilify, Clonopin and Lamictal.

Answer 1

Not a good idea. You never know just how the diet pills will interact with the three medications you're already taking. Find some other way of losing weight - something that's safer and that will better for your general health.

Answer 2

No. But it's not a good idea because the stimulants in the diet drug can cause you to have a manic episode among other things. You should always talk your doctor about over the counter medications.
