Best answer:

Answer by lynnguys
You should only be taking fertility drugs under the guidance of a physician. The only implications that I know of are the side effects and the high incidence of multiple births. I would think that any misuse of fertility drugs could dangerous (just look at the warning label on most birth control pills!). I have a friend that had triplets after only one cycle of Clomid. Be wise and see your doctor!

Did These Diet Pills Have Speed (Amphetamines) in Them?

Question by Rose off Titanic: Did these diet pills have speed (amphetamines) in them?
I recently took some diet pills I brought from a herbal chinese specialist store, I took them for 3 days and they worked but I got extreme anxiety, thoughts on suicide, sickness and my bottom teeth have been aching. I’ve stopped taking them and feel better now but was there speed in them?

Best answer:

Answer by Mathieu
No, at least not legally. In The United States amphetamines are federally controlled schedule II drugs indicating they have a legitimate and established medical use but also have a high potential for abuse, addiction, dependence, and diversion. Possession, distribution, buying, selling, or improperly using schedule II drugs is highly illegal.
