Phentermene is a stimulant diet pill that requires a prescription from your doctor.  As with most drugs, there are side effects that could happen if that drug is taken.  There is an alternate however that says it does not have any side effects and it is available as an over-the-counter diet pill.  This is called Phentermine.  Notice the difference in the spelling as it is almost exact.  You can order Phentermine by following this link.  This pill is said to do the same thing as the prescription drug and has Phenylethylamine as the ingredient.  This is called the “Love Drug” because it is felt to stimulate the central nervous system and encourage feelings of well-being and euphoria.  I think I’m going to be looking for that the next time I visit my local superstore.

Unless you have been living in cave, chances are you already know what Alli is – the first FDA approved, over-the-counter diet drug. In US, anyone can purchase Alli without MD’s prescription. According to the manufacturer, it’s recommended that you take the standard prescription dose of 120mg, 3 times daily before meals. Firstly, Alli cannot shed off your already stored body fat. Its function is to block fat from your diet.  The situation may lead to alli side effects including wet gas, leaking and diarrhea. The manufacturer even advised that you wear dark pants, and bring a change of clothes to work. In addition, if you block fats from your body, you are also effectively blocking some essential nutrients that come with fat. These essential nutrients, including vitamin D, are critical to your overall health!

Do you have Medicare?  Do you understand it?  While working in a hospital doing regular insurance billing I was asked to switch over to handling Medicare.  I didn’t care to.  But even then I had to deal with Medicare and I have to admit that I never did understand it.  Now I am at the beginning of getting my Medicare, not because I am old enough, but because I qualify for it because of a disability.  My spouse is about to go on disability through his job but will also apply for regular disability, and although I could stay on his health insurance, don’t see much sense in paying for Medicare and health insurance through his work.  The problem is that I have to look for a prescription plan through Medicare and then the fact that even then my medicines will not all be covered.

Medicare has what they like to call a ‘coverage gap’, where they won’t pay for medicines, although the beneficiary (Medicare recipient) pays for the premiums.  Anyway, once you AND your prescription insurance plan have reached the total payments of a bit over $2,000.00; they won’t pay again until the total cost of medications reach just over $4,500.   Hm, does this sound good?  Makes me wonder what all the people on Medicare are doing to be able to afford that gap.  Do they just give up taking their medicine for the rest of the year?  It’s true that you can get ‘extra help’ but that isn’t for everyone and those who are eligible have a really low income.  The extra help is just for the prescription plan premiums, not help in being able to afford medicine during the coverage gap.

I recall my Mother telling me that one of her prescriptions, the top antibiotic, cost $500 and she telling my sister not to buy it.  She was in her coverage gap period and she was not about to pay that much for one prescription.  I’ve got to find out how much my medicines cost for one year and see how long I’ll have to go off of my medicine.  Although, being bipolar doesn’t mean not taking medications will kill me, it might drive my family insane instead.
