I took them for about a month or so and saw no difference in my weight. I did, however, notice they made my heart hurt, made my skin itch, gave me headaches, and I feel that they have affected my digestive system altogether. I get pains I never used to get in my intestines, and my skin itches even now...and I stopped taking the pills about 6 months ago. I advise against them, and Im not againgst much...

BTW: I have tried several other diety pills (Hydroxycut, Xenadrin, Trimspa, to name a couple) and have never experienced such negetive side affects.

A friend of mine at work took them for energy, and she almost had a heart attack. Her blood pressure was like 160/104 and she was having chest pains. Her doctor told her never to take them again, and to throw them away. She was scared. They are almost like ephedra, in the way that they cause jitters, tremors, heart palpatations, high blood pressure, etc. If your blood pressure runs any higher than normal usually, I wouldn't take them. It's not worth the risk.

Just wanted to let you know my experience with it. . . .Not fun. I was only taking 1 pill twice a day which is less than the recommended dosage, but it made me shaky, nervous and nauseaus (sp). I tried Stacker-2 and had the same problem--VERY shaky and jittery. The only thing I've found that actually curbs my appetite and gives me a little ambition/energy (but not too much) is Xtreme Lean by Nature's Bounty. Even with those I only take 1/2 the dosage (1 pill instead of 2. twice a day) but I feel great. I even got back on the excercise bike again. I don't get jittery and stuff, but I don't want to take naps all the time either. It's just a nice happy medium I guess.

I am down about 13 lbs so far. 135 and still trying. has anyone heard about a leek soup for a cleansing/lose water weight thing? It was in a magazine in the waiting rm at the dr's office. Take 2 lbs leeks, cover w/water...simmer for 20-30 min. Drink the broth 1 cup every 2 hrs, when hungry-eat 1/2 c of the leeks. It said to do that for 2 days, then have a regular/light dinner on the second night. Has anyone tried that?

Sounds like you were allergic to something in the bottle or you took to many pills.

Anyway for the money there are much better options than zantrex.
