BTW heads up to anyone here thinking about taking meds like this for weight management or to avoid diabetes, the way I have come to understand it is they basically cause diabetes as a part of their function, you'll be bound to it after that point and given the backorder issues these meds have as well as how they can be dangerous to just quit them I'd personally avoid them. You need to be tapered off and you are likely to return to levels you had previously or worse. Now I am not clinically trained but I work with medicine, with other people that are, and this is what I gathered in regards to these meds.
Basically, stick to phentermine and etc.
