» cindy24 - Re: please if you love yourself don't take hydroxycut

In response to message posted by cookie65:

HI, my name is Carmen De Souza(24 yrs old) and I wanted to give you my opinion on this delicate matter of consuming a dietary supplement as Hydroxycut.
I started taking hydroxycut last year for about a month and that is hydroxycut ephedra free ( you did not specify wheather you took ephedra free hydroxycut or not, if you took the one with ephedra I had a bad experience with it too, and I'll never dare taking it again, anyway...).
I lost a lot of weight combining my comsumption of Hydroxycut (ephedra free) with an exercise routine, then unfortunately I had a car accident where I broke my knee and part of my leg, and regained some pounds that for me being a dedicated athlete were definetly a nightmare.
This past week after almost 3 months of surgery to me knee I am again able to exercise, and I started taking it again. I get heart palpitations once in while and that is because of the eccess caffeine in your system and the best to do is drink a lot of water to try to wash it out of your body. Also never take two pills at the same time if it is your first time taking it, always take one and see how your body reacts to it, it would be very unusual to have a reaction from a single pill. Every week you add another pill, because it is a shock to your body; Hydroxycut not only contains the thermogenous ingredients for which it became famous, it also contains multiple vitamins and minerals if u take multiple hydroxycuts it deffinetly make the difference, even if just two. Also each pill contains as much caffeine as two cups of coffy.
It is imperative that the day you take hydroxycut you don't consume any drinks that contain caffeine like tea, soda, or some fruit juices, and also foods high in sugar, because that would increase the jitters.
I personally plan on stopping hydroxycut as soon as another month goes by but my experience with it has been neutral.
I'm sorry that you had a negative experince with it, but for the future always know that when you are ingesting something, as with even prescribed medication follow the dosage to the letter. I personally had an allergic reaction and ended up in the hospital from taking Viox ( pain killer) for my period cramps and guess what? I was supposed to take one and I took two.
Again these supplements aren't for everyone, at the end the healthiest way to loose weight and keep it off is exercise and a healthy diet.
good luck!!smile
carmen

Your a user of ephedrine just admit it like everyone else. Stop making excuses you know you use it. I use it of course thats how i made myself very dirty in dirty dancing. If you dont believe me ask jennifer grey.

» regretful4ever - Don't make my mistake!!!!!

I consider myself lucky to be alive, and lucky I wasn't mentally retarded after overdosing on "yellowjackets", a diet pill whose main ingredient is ephedrine. After taking the the pill, I was 16 yrs old at the time and at my school's homecoming dance, I felt almost nothing until about 3 hours later after riding around in my friend's car for a while. All of sudden I started to feel tired... and just wanted to lay down. When i got back to my friend's and layed down on the floor, I tried my best to sleep. This definitely wasn't going to happen. I started to feel really nauseous,extremely agitated, and wanted to vomit to get whatever was in me out. I remember getting up and going to my friends bathroom in a cold sweat(I looked and felt ghostly ill in his mirror) and tried to force my self to vomit, nothing came out so i atleast took a couple hand fulls of water then laid back down. For the next 8 HOURS I laid there on the floor, wide awake, rubbing my leg with my foot because i was so wired. It kinda felt like my brain was slowly being fried, and i was having phsycotic thoughts over and over again and just basically going insane, tweaking out and doing compulsive behavior for about 8 hours straight. It's very hard to explain. It felt like I was going to die, or atleast have permanent brain damage.

Even until now i blame that experience for altering my brain, making it hard for me to concentrate in school, affecting my grades. For months after, I felt like a recoverying meth addict and even had trouble sitting still.
I'm still consulting my doctor to see if there could be any long term affects. The pill I took looked like it was atleast 4 or 5 yellow jackets crushed up then put into a larger pill capsule. It's almost impossible to tell how many mg's of ephedrine was there since i wasn't the one who made it. If the person who made this pill had any respect for human life especially those other than his own, he would have never of sold this shit to anybody, now i wish i could offer him the same pill and see how good he feels 3 hours later.
In closing, ephedrine based pills are probably ok if you do the recomendeded dosage, but never take too much (or get tricked into taking to much) unless you want to feel like i did.

» charlesgetbig - I have been looking for a forum about Ephedrine based diet pills

for the past couple days now. I don't want to jump right in and make enemies, but i think Matt is right, a lot of people are freaking morons, one guy said her over dosed on yellow jackets etc.

Look alcohol is probably one of the worst drug you can use, but i am pretty sure most of you in here drink every weekend, to socialize, some over do it and hurt themselves, some drink responsibly.

Thus, shouldn't you use Ephedrine based products responsibly? Abuse anything and you can hurt yourself, anything, even drinking too much water, can weaken your kidneys. Do, you get the picture here folks.

I just started taking Universal Ripped Fast 2 (ephedrine based), the recommended dosage is 2 capsules, 2 times per day, preferably before meals. I am starting out with 1 capsules, 3 times per day. If i see that my body don't like it, then i quit.

Man, i swear to God people in America has absolutely no common sense.

I see commercials for legal drugs on T.V. that helps people to sleep at night, but when they name out all the possible side effects that can take place, i am sometimes left with my mouth open. You will get a good nights sleep at the cost of maybe not being able to have sex with your wife, bleeding from you anus, hair fall out, weakened immune system, can't heal fast if injured etc.

The problem with America, is that people expect something to work for everyone and if it doesn't, it is not good. I can work out for 1 month without any drugs etc. and stack 15 pounds of pure muscle, my cousin works out twice as hard as me take supplements of all sort and he only stacked about 5 pounds. I am built that way and he is built that way, we have differenty type bodies. Some people can drink a 1/5 of Jim Beam and still stand still, some people drink 2 beers and fall on thier face.

» charlesgetbig - No offence Regretfull, but you are a complete moron

before i even started body building and now cutting phase, i did tons of research (all the info. is on the web for FREE bro), find out everything i needed to no, so i can do things properly. And even before i buy a product, i go on the net research it and find out if it is worht buying, or if will have any health risk.

Jesus, dude, you are going to school, act like it.
