i ordered these diet pills from the rd magazine b/c i wanted to slim down (duh). lol, ok, so i KNO im not fat, but im more that i want to be, so i was takign them for a while, but the problem was i was playing field hockey during that time for my school, so when i ran, i would get these sharp pains in my chest. could that b a side effect of the pills? they are called EPH200 or something. i cant remember b/c my mom was in my roomand she found them! see, i was at school and when i came back she was in my room, and i hid the pills on this little basket thing hanging off the back of my door, and they werent there anymore. i hope she doesnt talk to me abt it, but if she does, what should i tell her?

You are probably to young to be taking diet pills...IT amazing what kinda stuff you can order off the internet...And if you are getting chest pains you should immediately stop taking the pills before you hurt yourself..

You should NOT be taking these pills, you don't even know what they're called!! If you want to lose weight try eating less or exercise more.

Diet pills are not the way to loose weight and keep it off. The only way I know of is cut what you eat in half and excorsize. It is the onlt way to get it off safely. Drink Lots and lots of water. She may took them to be tested to see what they are before she talks to you about it. Pills are never the way to loose weight, for one thing, if you happen to find a (cough cough) diet pill that works, the minute you stop , you gain it all back and lots more.

I think you should tell your mom the truth about the diet pills. That you wanted to lose a few pounds. And tell her, that your not going to ever use diet pills again. Because they are bad for you. And their making you sick.
But serious people have had heart failure from taking them. You just experienced a warning signal from your body. To stop abusing it. Well good luck!

Definitely bad for your health- they can affect your heart in major ways. Talk to your school nurse if you are afraid to talk to your mom. Ephedra is a stimulant- like Cocaine, but not illegal (yet). Definitely talk to your momma asap. Don't be scared!

Cymbaline
you need to be honest about the pills
and if she doesnt ask you about them
you should ask her to make an appointment for you to see the doctor.

you have no idea what it is that you have been taking and that is very risky. there is an old saying, if you play with fire you will get burned.

be smart from this point on. no more mail ordering drugs of any kind. talk to health professionals about losing weight.

i have a feeling you must already be a physically fit girl if you are on the field hockey team... you have no reason to take diet pills.

Don't take diet pills, most of them are just a form of speed and can cause heart problems among other things. Besides, you are only 14, that could mess you up for life. If you feel the need to slim down, join a sport or something. Also, your body type is going to change several times throughout your life, especially at the age you are now. If your not fat, then get over yourself and quit focusing on trivial stuff.

Stop taking those pills immediately. They are not good for anyone to take, especially a teenager that is still growing. The diet pill, muscle vitamin markets is very unregulated (Much less than the drug industry) and bears little responsibility for side effects. You should NEVER take ANYTHING like that unless a doctor tells you to do so.
Stop taking the pills and keep participating in sports and eat right. That's the way to lose weight.

You are too young to be using diet pills to lose weight. If you are having chest pains you NEED to tell your parents now. Those pills are not usually tested by the FDA and have caused heart problems in adults, they can be even worse for children. There is no easy way to lose weight, good diet and exercise are the ONLY ways to get into better shape. Do not use any other diet pills, they are not meant for children.

You should tell your Mom. Diet pills should only be taken when prescribed by a physician. Did you see the news where several "diet pills" are being taken off the market? I am not a thin person (sure would love to be), but a pill is NOT the answer. Talk with your Mom and let her know about the chest pains - it could definitely be a side affect. Never take any pills without knowing what it does, what is is for and what the side affects are. Good Luck!

tell her the truth, silly!

those pills are rotten! don't buy them again, okay? you're lucky you just got a few sharp pains in your chest. it could have been a lot worse.

btw, how in the world did you get those? you need to be 18!

Don't be afraid to talk to your mom about it, you should be looking forward to talking to her not dreading it. Keep in mind that your mom loves you and even if she gets angry it's more out of fear for your health. Sweetie you are 14, what are you thinking? Don't take that crap it's so bad for you. At your age you're probably too concerned with your looks when you shouldn't be. If you want to lose weight, this is the perfect opportunity to talk to your mom about it. Maybe this will motivate her to cook healthier meals for the family.

Sweetheart, you are too young to take diet pills. You already stated that you dont need. The people who diet pills are intended for are the seriously obese. They are also formulated for the imune systems of people who are over 18 year of age. So your use of them can harm your bodies really quickly in the short term and permanently in your liver and kidneys-- which you definitely need for the rest of your life-- or to have a rest of a life.

Please do not continue to use pills. It's an unnecessary way to achieve something I know you can do in a healthy way. Also, if you start using extreme methods to fix your problems at such a young age, what will stop you from getting into more extreme solutions to the many problems adults have too.

Honestly, the test of whether you are mature enough to use these things is about you being open about using them. You don't need the pills if you have to hide them. You shouldn't lie to your mother about your using them. If she tries to take them away from you its because she wants the best for your mental and physical health in the ways I just told you about. Listen to her and talk about your weight concern.

Tim
why are you taking pills at 14? I'd kick your *** if you were my kid. I dont know if a daily asskicking takes off weight, but it's better than pumping yourself full of drugs that cause myriad health problems. Whats wrong with eating better, or just getting some exercise? I know thats a dirty word for todays youth, but it wont kill you

Don't do stupid stuff like that. Apologize, and ask your mom to take you to the doctor to make sure you aren't in trouble medically.

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No



FrazzledMom
They probably has mass caffiene in them and you got too much. That's why when your heart started pumping, it was working overtime. "Eph"...is that Ephedra? People died from that!

That's dangerous. Diet pills do not work, anyway. Just excercise and eat healthy!

Tell your mom not to cook so much fatty foods because you want to get in shape. She will have no problem with that. Ask her what else you can do and let her be the one to help you. She will be glad to help you.
