I've bought several OTC diet aids that have proven ineffective. It appears as though the main ingredient is caffiene. I drink Mountain Dew like I breathe air, so caffiene has no effect on me. I need an appetite suppresant that will work. I've done phentermine so long that it no longer has any effect. Help!! I've got to drop weight FAST. Any suggestions.

You can try a product like Xenadrine but I wouldn't recommend it. If you need to drop weight fast I would highly recommend looking into the Suzanne Somers diet program. It doesn't really feel like a diet because you get to eat a ton of food - fattening stuff too!

The basic tenets of the program are this:
* Only eat wheat based carbohydrates - no white based products
* Do not mix your carbohydrates with your proteins and fats
* Do not mix fruit with any of these food groups
* Do not ingest starches of any kind

You'd be surprised how quickly the inches come off with very little effort. One time I did this diet for 7 weeks and lost 17 pounds. This time I'm on my 5th week and I've lost 6 inches total. Of the 17 pounds I lost, I only gained back 8 - over a period of 3 years! It's a great diet and is very healthy for you.
