I need to drop some weight, and think that I might need a helping hand
I have read about people here and elswhere combining an MAOI with amphetamine without any major issues, can anybody see a big issue combining nardil with say phentermine 30mg/day for 4 weeks?

I think it is selective for the hypothalamus in the brain. It stimulates the release of epinephrine from the adrenals. There is debate as to how much risk is involved with the use of epinephrine during MAOI treatment. I wouldn't know what to suggest.

I've been doing high protein, moderate carb and low fat for 3 days now, 1400cal/day, and its been suprisingly easy, I havent felt uncomfortabley hungry, so I think that I might be able to do this without diet pills - probably better that way

I want to shed about 20kg, so got a way to go, but given my size (6'4 and stocky build) and sex (male) I think I can probably shed 2kg a week without going too drastic.

Isn't that a bit ambitious? Let me know how you do with that. I am starting to shift my eating habits to approximate your dietary strategy. I would be happy to lose 1 kg per week.
It has been my observation that you hit a "wall" after losing the first 2 - 3 kilograms where the body resists further weight loss. Once you are able to break through it, the weight comes off more quickly.
Good luck.

I can usually drop weight quite easily when I set my mind to it - I lost a heap of weight 3 years ago, but gained a chunk of it back during the last 9 months when I was especially anxious and depressed - chocolate became my constant companion.
Anyway, that's all in the past. I don't ever expect to be thin, but Ill atleast be less fat hahaha
