I don't remember my mouth going numb. Maybe it wasn't a big enough dose?

Did everyone read or care to read this in the original post. I may have tasted an Ayds years ago but recall it being a big selling product.

I did. I haven't seen it since the early 1980's personally.

I've read all over and can't find anything that says they're still sold. Wiki says it was withdrawn from the market but doesn't say when.

It was big in 60's and 70's or earlier but perhaps when the aids epidemic hit the world and also when the phen phen came out it disappeared. I worked in a school for some time and remember a teacher taking it but don't recall what she said about it, didn't care much so didn't hear anything.

Yep, my mom and I both had them back in the 60s...LOL we ate them like candy too! No big surprise, but they didn't do anything for appetite suppressant...just made you feel like you were doing something good for yourself instead of eating candy! LOL

I remember my mom used them back in the '60s. They looked like candy but must have tasted bad because six kids left them alone.

I remember trying them in the 70's but didn't like the taste. I never used Fen-phen but I have friends my age who still dream of the stuff. They say they never looked or felt better!
