Talk to your doctor about the pill. They'll tell you everything you need to know, and they'll have advice you can trust (don't trust everything you read on the internet).\n\nThe pill can cause some weight gain, but that's mostly water retention.

I've been on it for a long time and have few side effects.  I am always very tired, but I've been that way my whole life, so didn't contribute it to the patch.  But I do notice excess weight in my tummy area that I can't get rid of, even though I work out four times a week and the muscles under the fat are hard as a rock.  I think that it may have fewer side effects than some forms of birth control, but like them all, it has some, and they are evil.  I'm making my man get a vasectomy because I'm so tired of dealing with it.  I'm sure we all are.

There is no 'magic pill' that works and isn't bad for you.\nIf there were, there wouldn't be any rich people that are fat.

On their own, not likely.  As an ingredient in other pills such as Xenadrine, somewhat.  But even then, weight loss pills are most effective because they give you a little more energy and most importantly, encourage you to exercise, not because they burn more fat.

PLEASE do not use this form of birth control!  It is very dangerous and being taken off the market.  Everyone I know who has used it has gained between 30 and 60 pounds.\n\nThe pros are that it's easy - you only have to get it done once every 3 months.  The cons are too numerous to list.  There are so many options out there.  Please look at the others!

I was on this pill for 1 year.  I had problems the 1st 3 months with spotting, & almost switched when it stopped. I had horrible mood swings & gained weight(it came off with exercise though) The mood swings were the worst though. Then in March I started bleeding again so I got switchd to Ortho Novum which is awesome (except for a few headaches). The thing is, every woman is different so pills affect everyone differently. You just have to try them until you find the right one.  And you are going to have some symptoms with any kind of pill.  There is a good website called www.askapatient.com that you can enter in any drug & read reviews from people that have taken it.

Be thankful for small mercies.  Seriously, are you on the pill?  Maybe you just think you have enough body fat?  Consult a Dr. if it persists.

Who says that?  Maybe somebody who didn't want you to have sex told you that you would get fat if you did.  That's kinda funny actually, it totally would have worked with me.  \n\nSome birth control pills, etc. cause weight gain due to the hormones they contain.  \n\nSex itself is great exercise and really helps you burn calories.  It won't make you fat!

i have had lots of experience with diet pills and still like to experiment with different and new ones that come out, no they don't work in the long run, they do work great when you are taking them, but i find they can become addictive, once you see yourself loosing the weight you become addicted to loosing more, then once you realize you are at an unhealthy weight, coming off them can become a problem, i found myself eating everything in sight because my appetite resumed soon after and all the weight i had lost, came back, you are still young, there are plenty of other healthy ways of loosing weight, try walking for an hour each day, i have started that myself and found that i have lost way more weight and feel so much healthier then when taking pills, please only use them as a last resort, or for the last 5 pounds, not as a solution

I'm on phentermine right now.\nI was on it a few years ago and lost 58 lbs in 4 months but I didn't diet or exercise while losing or afterward, and gained it back.  After 3-6 months the pills stop working and you become addicted. Stop taking them when they stop working!  My friend has been on it for several years and is severely addicted.  She can't function if she doesn't take it daily.  \nThe pros: I lost 18 lbs this month as opposed to 7 last month (everything else the same).\nThe cons: hot flashes, thirsty, can't fall asleep, can't stay asleep, dry eyes.\nThis is a PRESCRIPTION drug.  Your doctor has to check you out before prescribing it--unlike those over the counter and sold on TV non-FDA approved pills which don't work adn that's why they don't care who busy them.\nI get so angry at people who scoff at prescription diet pills.  They obviously aren't overweight and have no idea what it's like to have a screwed up metabolism.  The pills are meant as a jumping-off  point.  You lose a little weight, feel better about yourself, learn how to eat less and move more, and then go on doing it after you stop taking the pills.  I didn't do it right last time and that's MY fault--not my doctor's or the drug's fault.

I recommend diet and exercise.  If there were a diet pill that actually worked, there would only be one on the market, and nobody would be fat.

Unfortunately there is no pill that burns fat.  The only way to burn fat is to do something cardiovascular that will burn the fat the natural way.  Our bodies aren't made to be able to take a pill and burn it off!  Bummer huh! Taking walks at a brisk pace, or using a dvd at home,(alot of good ones online now) or joining a gym is your best bet.  Sorry, wish there was something like this, that industry is making billions on something that doesn't work.

What ever you may believe, weight loss pills are a myth. They will not work. Penis enlargement pills are a myth, they will not work. By taking them, the only thing you get out of it is you being suckered in by advertising and a wallet with a lot less bills in them. But take it as you will.

Diet pills are terrible for you and your body. They eat away at your liver worse than alcohol. They can give you heart palpitations and high blood pressure. The only thing diet pills succeed in doing is raping you of hard earned money.

Any birth control I have ever been on has made me gain weight, but our bodies all react differently.

You wouldn't EVER advise that someone used the contraceptive pill to enlarge their breasts!!! And if someone advised that to you, they don't know what they're talking about - the increase in breast size is marginal, and only occurs in some women. Usually it would be due to fluid retention in response to the oestrogen content of the pill, in which case they may be slightly larger, but they're also incredibly tender.
