Minor Side Effects

There is no escaping the fact that diet pills have side effects. Since this is the case, you must be prepared to accept the side effects. It’s the only way that you will reach your goals of weight loss. It does help, going into the game, to know what kind of side effects you may be facing. Here is a survey of the most common side effect—mostly minor and annoying.

• Nervousness. This is a psychosomatic response, induced by the drugs. It’s hard to fight this side effect merely by saying, “don’t worry about it.” However, if you have knowledge about what you’re doing, and confidence that it is the right move, this side effect will be minimized.
• Restlessness. Like nervousness, this is psychosomatic response, but is not debilitating or dangerous. If you feel restless, take a brisk walk, exercise, or do something different for a few minutes.
• Insomnia. Facing the prospect of sleeplessness is not fun at all. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix for insomnia. Making sure that you are exercising during the day helps by tiring your body out. Doing what it takes to relax before bedtime is another way to ward off the effects of insomnia.
• Dry mouth. It may not sound like a very bad side effect (and compared to some, it’s not). However, dry mouth can be a very uncomfortable and distracting condition. In addition to keeping a glass of water close by, you may want to consider inexpensive moisturizing mouthwashes, available at most pharmacies.
• Headaches. There’s nothing like a headache to put a damper on your day. Fight off headaches with good ol’ Tylenol, Advil or aspirin product.
• Fatigue or hyperactivity. These two conditions are at opposite ends of the spectrum, but they are both possible side effects of diet pills. Again, while not dangerous or life threatening, they are annoying, and little can be done about them.

If you face any of these side effects, don’t be too surprised or worried. They affect a majority of individuals who use diet pills. Accept the discomfort, and be encouraged by the weight that you are losing.
