Sleepless Nights Perfect Match

This topic has been long over due but I guess it's better late than never. Countless efforts in finding the right vitamins for my little boy has become too tiring for we never saw the results of the supposedly "health benefits" as each of them claims to possess. My son has always been awake at night and sleeps during the day for many months now since he was three. I tried many ways to keep him awake the whole day and put him to bed at night but most of the time didn't worked. I felt hopeless and tired, I'm too tired of staying awake at night to keep him company. He don't just play the whole night but he often eats at dawn! It makes me go crazy! My little boy is as hyper as ever! and so is hard to feed...

I even brought him to a new pedia to get a different strategy on how to make him eat and sleep and this is what he gave me: Appebon to be taken for 2 months. On the first few weeks it kept him busy eating all the time but, still never sleeps at night (but he usually take 1-3 hrs nap) and I noticed his eating habits drops again after several weeks. Then, I went back to his pedia and was given a different vitamins - Mosegor Vita Syrup! again to be taken for 2 months. So I went to the drug store to buy a bottle of the said vitamins and got shocked when I saw its price! a whooping Php716 for a bottle of 120ml. My goodness gracious this has to work!

I have seen a slight change since we shifted to Mosegor Vita Syrup. He now eats (but still has to play the run around) , noticed weight increase, he now sleeps at night (sometimes) but we are still working on it and hopefully we can correct his sleeping patterns before he go to school in June.

Well, I guess I have found a perfect match for those sleepless nights! =D

Sibutramine REDUCTIL® (does it work?)

The demand for weight loss products has increased significantly over the past years. Many brands of slimming pills have sprawled the market in many forms and different packages. For some, finding the best weight loss products can be daunting. I myself have tried different kinds of weight loss products when I was still in college after being on a yo-yo diet for sometime.

Some weight loss products worked for me and some did not. I started taking weight loss pills with high hopes of becoming slimmer than ever. I shed roughly 10-20 pounds and I was at my thinnest at 107 lbs. (and i'm 5'0" flat) But, my weight would go back as I stopped taking slimming pills. And now that I'm a mother to two lovely kids, I gained sooOO much weight from pregnancy and postpartum.

I just gave birth to my youngest last April of this year but, to my surprise my tummy still look like I'm five months pregnant. I was advised by a friend to try Sibutramine REDUCTIL®, a doctor prescribe medicine to treat obesity, as this have worked for her. Sibutramine is being manufactured by Abbott Laboratories under the brand names Reductil, Meridia and Sibutrex.

Reductil is manufactured and distributed locally and is used as part of weight management program for patients with ailmentary obesity. Also for those who have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of > 30 kg/m2 and to those who have obesity-related risk factors such as hypertention,Type II diabetes or dyslipidemia(a disruption in the amount of lipids in the blood).

How does Reductil work?

As I was looking at the box, it says: "Serotonin and Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitor (SNRI)" and "Anti-Obesity". So, what does it mean? SNRI are a class of antidepressant drugs used in the treatment of major depression and other mood disorders. (you can check wikipedia for more medical explanations) It work by inhibiting the reuptake of neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine and results to loss of appetite, weight and sleep. There may be also dryness of mouth(that's why you need to increase your fluid intake), dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, headache, nausea/vomiting, sexual dysfunction and urinary retention.

Reductil comes in 10mg and 15mg capsules and each box contains 14 capsules. The recommended starting dose is 10mg orally once daily in the morning swallowed whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food. If you want to try it you can get these for only php 90 for each capsule at any Watsons or Mercury drug stores nationwide but some would require a prescription before you can buy.

I still have yet to try it but, maybe nextweek. =D
