    Like most pills, taking them on an empty stomach ain't a fabulous idea. 'Diet pills' in general aren't a particularly great idea, but whatever.
    You might get a gut ache. Nothing major.

    if there amphetamine based diet pills or a similar type of thing (work by making u hungry and giving u loads of energy aswell) then i suppose that it would be the same as any amphetamine type substance. in my experience
    take on an empty stomach = belly ache
    take having eaten a bit a while before = ok
    take having eaten a full meal = gonna spew

    not sure if this is the case just a thort.

    btw if they are amphetamine based then i wouldnt really advise taking them over a long period of time cos they can cause future problems. and if there epherdrene then there great at the time but very adictive so watch it

    hope that helps ;)

    TheSite's lowdown on diet pills
    PLease take a read and get a better understanding of what you are doing to your body. Diet pills are rarely the best way to lose weight - but if you must use them, it should be under the watch of a GP.

    On paper amphetamine type drugs are perfect for slimming. They stop you feeling hungry, they give you more energy and because of the way they work (by stimulating the flight/fight response) they burn fat too.

    However, speak to ANYONE who has used amphetamines regularly for a long period and they will tell you the side effect profile is long and grim.

    They really are NOT the way to loose weight. When you put your trust into a pill it is very easy to forget that it is YOU and only you who can loose the weight.

    Healthy diet + exercise = much better solution.

    Simple really.
