The magical weight loss pill of the past turned out to be a killer. Yep, I was one of the patients who long ago (seems like) took Fen-Phen.
(Fen-phen was an anti-obesity medication which consisted of two drugs: fenfluramine and phentermine. Fenfluramine, and later, a related drug, dexfenfluramine, was marketed by American Home Products, now known as Wyeth, but were shown to cause potentially fatal pulmonary hypertension and heart valve problems, which eventually led to their withdrawal and legal damages of over $13 billion. - Note from Wikipedia)
This combination of drugs in one pill certainly had incredibly horrible effects on some of the patients. As for me, I can't imagine an easier way to lose weight and feel great about the process. It was a magical weight loss pill experience. Obviously, it was just too good to be true. It certainly worked too well to be all OK. So, my search for a weight loss pill that works and is safe continues.
