This should be so simple, even you should be able to understand it. My
rights are the same as your rights. If I want the drugs, I should be able
to take them. If you want the drugs, you should be able to take them. What
could be more equal than that?
I know you think the sun  rises and sets up your ass, right next to your
head, but that is not the way it is. My desire is as imortant to me as
yours is you. Why should your rights be more imortant than mine?

I believe my cosmetic rights are far more important than your medical
ones. Tie. BTW, mine can be considered medical to as I was more than 20%
overweight with high bp.
I'm glad you have no power to impose your ideas on me.
I think I should have a right to take heroin or cancer meds, or any  drug
I want to, with the possible exception of anti-biotics. It's my body.

I was watching the local news the other night and only the tail-end of a
story about Phen-Fen. The mentioned that one major weight loss company
(Jenny Craig ??) was changing from P-F to Phen and Prozac. Did anyone
else hear this?  If so who is the company? Any problems with this combo?
Thanks....Mike

They said no other problems than taking both individually.  The amount

No way, my right to do what I want to with my body is as important as
yours. If my exercising my rights in no way directly messes with yours,
tough cookies if you don't like it.
BTW, I was about 30% overweight when I started on fen/phen. My bp, then
sky high, is now normal.
Your real battle should be with the stupid law makers who want to cut back
on your rights, not with people like me who want to see that everyone has
the right to do what they like with their own body.

Hi all!!
After a lot of discouragement when I first started taking Phen/Fen in June,
I am proud and EXTREMELY happy to report that I have lost 30 pounds.  In
the past two weeks alone I have dropped a dress size.  I still would like
to lose another 20 pounds, and am determined that I will!
I will say that I am not going to contribute ALL of my weight loss to
Phen/Fen. Actually, I'm now only taking Phen.  I have pushed myself hard.
I power walk every day during my lunch hour, watch what I eat and drink a
gallon of water a day.
My weight gain was from my pregnancy in March and it is my goal to wear
those size 8 jeans that are sitting in my dresser collecting dust.  I have
given myself until the end of the year to lose the next 20 punds!  Wish me
luck
Just wanted to share!
Julie H.

Who said he did?
And were there sufficient numbers studied to be able to today judge the
longer term results as well?
I doubt it, since I have no interest at all in the above, but refresh my
memory.
Once again, my point was that there have been tens of thousand of people
in controlled studies using phen/fen and not near that amount of data on
other combinations.
My opinions are just that and I don't pretend to have credentials.  My
participation in this group is for personal reasons.  I do indeed work for
a medical publishing company but we do not publish titles on this topic so
your comment is only nasty and irrelevant.  You on the other hand profess
to be an editor of a work on this topic.  So your use of terms like "didn't
do shit" leaves me thinking your public presentations are quite different
than ours.
