Q: But WHY can't I use diet pills?
A: The only kind of diet pill that "works" (though temporarily) contains amphetamines or amphetamine derivatives, which can cause arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms), tachycardia (rapid heart rate), raised blood pressure, strokes, and heart failure. While risking these dire outcomes, patients also suffer from severe jitteryness and inability to sleep. |
