Diet Pills & Energy

Since my last post, I’ve upped my diet pill regime just a tiny bit. Basically, if I followed the dosage directions, I am allowed to take up to 6 pills per day (2 at a time). However, I started at a half pill only twice a day, which is a fraction of the dosage.

I’m very sensitive to stimulants (well, except coffee, since I drink it every day, unless I go over 3 cups). Anyway, I’ve now upped my diet pill dosage to 3/4 of a pill in the morning with 3/4 cup of coffee, then 1/2 pill in the afternoon. The ones I take don’t have caffeine in them, so I decided it was OK to mix them after all.

I have to say this is working OK so far. Today was the first day that I upped my regime, and to be honest, I got the same type of frenetic, almost unstable energy that I got while I was deep in ketosis on the Kimkins diet. It’s really hard to explain - I feel like I have a ton of energy, but my brain is working overtime. I think of a million things I have to do, then start each task one after another before finishing one of them. The energy is incredible and I have to admit I love it.

Does that make sense? Probably not. But I’m enjoying the extra energy and appetite suppression. I’m not taking quite enough of the diet pill to completely suppress my appetite. However, it’s definitely making me eat less. I can only take several bites of a meal before feeling like I don’t want any more.

So I make sure what I DO eat is healthy. Plus I’m still taking vitamins.

We shall see what the results will be… I don’t think I’ll be increasing my diet pill dosage again anytime soon. “Frenetic energy” is one thing. “Wired” is another… I can’t stand the feeling of my brain being super-wired. Not too long ago, I accidentally mixed too much caffeine with green tea capsules. Well, it wasn’t pretty… I was driving along the highway and almost had an anxiety attack. Actually, I think I did have one. I felt like my brain was about to fly off without my body. And NOT in a good way.
