Hi ,
Slimex is Sibutramine , an Oral anorexient, you don't feel hungry.
Effect will be the same no matter what dose you take.
At this young age of 22 yrs , I feel you are burdening your heart & getting exposed to risks of the side effects. Use during pregnancy is also contraindicated.It does not affect your chances of pregnancy.
Maintaining the low weight is even tougher.
Why don't you try the tougher but more healthier & reliable route- of good controlled diet, low calories no junk foods/ chocolates , NO FASTING, along with regular exercises/ swimming / aerobics.
Hope I could clear your query
