Fastin

This Phentermine diet pill claims to boost metabolism and suppress appetite.


BACKGROUND

In December of 1998, the pharmaceutical giant, SmithKline Beecham withdrew Fastin from the market because of side effects associated with this weight loss supplement. Today, it is back on the market, as it tries to help those who are obese lose weight. Phenylethylamine, or Phentermine, is the main ingredient in Fastin. This chemical is a powerful stimulant that boosts metabolism, suppresses appetite and raises heart rate.

Fastin should only be used by people who are extremely overweight or obese and have not been able to lose weight with just diet and exercise. Fastin should only be taken under the supervision of your doctor. It should also be taken in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and a consistent exercise plan that has been laid out for you by your medical doctor or registered dietitian.

Fastin contains stimulants that may cause side effects like increased heart rate, shakiness or heart palpitations.

PRO
  • Fastin may help to kick off a weight loss program
  • May help to reduce weight when used in combination with a low calorie diet and exercise plan
CON
  • Fastin was pulled off the market in 1998
  • Not a long-term solution to weight loss
  • Can induce many dangerous side effects
  • Should not be taken by certain individuals who have current health conditions
  • Should not be used for longer than a few weeks
  • Can result in dependence
  • Automatically enrolled in the auto-shipment program after registering for free trial
INGREDIENTS

Fastin contains Phenylethylamine HCL, R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine. methylphenylethylamine tartrate , methylsynephrine HCL , N-Methyl-phenylethylamine HCL, Synephrine HCL, Theobromine Anhydrous, Yohimbine HCL and caffeine.

ADMINISTRATION

Given the powerful effects of Fastin, it should only be taken according to the directions of your medical doctor.

Fastin is typically taken once a day 1 hour before breakfast or as directed by your doctor. Since it contains stimulants, you should not take it before going to sleep. Also, Fastin should only be used for a few weeks since it has the ability to result in dependence.

DIET and NUTRITION

While taking Fastin, you will also be following a reduced-calorie diet comprised of 1,200 – 1,500 calories a day and a consistent exercise program that is laid out by your health practitioner. You should avoid alcohol, caffeine and any other stimulants.

CONCLUSION

Fastin is a stimulant that works in a similar way as amphetamine. In addition to being an appetite suppressant it is also a mood-elevator. Fastin should only be used by people who are obese and under the supervision of their medical doctor.

It is not recommended for use by individuals at risk for diabetes, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, a malfunctioning thyroid, hardening of the arteries, or heart disease or if certain medications are being taken.

That fastin from GNC is not the real thing. It is designed to give u sorta of the same feel but its not the same thing... The real fastin cannot be given without a Rx. One major difference between the two are that the real one can only be taken in the morning an hour before u eat or else it will keep u up all night. The GNC version u take twice daily... Another difference is that the real Fastin contains Phentermine. GNCs version contains Phenylethylamine HCL and Caffeine posted Jun 19th, 2009 2:52 am

Fasten IS available at GNC. I have only been on it for a few days, but it is the closest I have come to finding something that gave me the same energy and appetite suppression as ephedra stackers. I am 5 ft. tall and 135 lbs. and I am here to say, only take one in the morning, not 2 because 2 is too much. It hits your system almost immediately. Good stuff, hope it helps me lose some of this extra weight. posted Mar 2nd, 2009 9:56 am

You know you can buy FASTIN at GNC. Someone mentioned a prescription but you don't have to have one. What I don't like about FASTIN is the 100mg of caffeine. It gives me headaches. Has anyone experienced this and have any advice for dealing with the headaches? posted Jan 2nd, 2009 10:22 am

I loved this diet pill, out of all the ones I have tried over the years this and adipex are the best. I completely agree with Layla it is great and it is a little costly as $70 a bottle but well worth it. posted Dec 4th, 2008 2:13 pm

I have tried this pill. When i first started taking the pill its effects were really strong. Its an appetite suppressant and my appetite the first few days was almost nonexistent. After that the effects get noticeably weaker but it still works. I found myself getting fuller after eating less. Also during the first few days i had so much more energy. My doctor warned me that it may raise my blood pressure and cause insomnia (you will have insomnia if you take it too late in the day) but i had none of that. I took one pill every morning and usually felt hungry enough to eat something six hours later. My biggest complaints about this pill is that the effectiveness wears off the more you use it and that it is a short term pill. My doctor said i could use it for two months and then wait one month before i could get another prescription because its effectiveness would completely disappear with regular use. What i love about it the most is that my appetite and hunger are reduced and it has replaced my need for coffee in the morning. I sleep about 5 hours a night but when i take this pill my yawning and sleepiness are eliminated.



This pill may not be appropriate for everyone. My doctor was surprised at how i saw little to none side effects. You should speak with your doctor to see if it's right for you. posted Nov 23rd, 2008 12:58 am
