Yep, I tried it, It's evil crap!

? Evil crap... how?

I'm a tad bias, I think i copped the majority of the side effects.

3-4 hours of broken sleep a night, if i was lucky.
Moodiness, crying at the drop of a hat, just general weirdness and was just not myself.
Struggled to drive a car because of the constant haze i was in.

Long story short, it would have destroyed my marriage had i stayed on it.

This was my experience as well. I also had heart palpitations multiple times a day every single day. It was not comfortable at all, but it raised no red flags to my doctor (who was kind of an idiot, in hindsight - she also scolded me for eating an egg and cheese biscuit for breakfast one morning in my food log. I'm so glad I am more educated on nutrition and calories and am able to fit things like that in my diet from time to time and it's not a big deal).

She failed to wean me off properly and I dealt with a deep depression with really bad mood swings and binges for months afterwards. During that time I put the weight back on that I lost on the pills (about 26 lbs) and I swore I'd never put myself through that again.

Needless to say it isn't something that I'd recommend.

Coffee, coffee, coffee!! You don't need that junk!

Yes indeedy. I only started drinking coffee this year, I've been a tea-a-holic my whole life, and a cup of coffee or two definitely gives me a nice pick me up and helps me get over the afternoon munchies.

I know! It's cheap and delicious:)

I really wish that coffee didn't leave me nauseated. I can't even handle coffee flavored foods.

I definitely get the light/spinny headed nauseous feeling if i make them too strong and have 2 in a row. I'm a complete lightweight when it comes to..... everything!! I'm a 3 drink drunk

I can't even get to three drinks anymore :laugh:

I can't actually drink coffee, even the smell is nauseating to me. Last time I had a sip, I felt ill for three hours.

Huge bummer!

It really is. I hear so many good things about it. And there are days when the caffeine in tea just isn't enough.

Oddly enough my aversion to coffee (I had it as bad as you to the point where I would get physically ill drinking half a cup - useful when I wanted a sick day from work ) vanished after they removed my gallbladder. In its stead, I now can't deal with alcohol. It all tastes like badly corked red wine...

The doctor is still scratching his head about that one...

Interesting. I would be much more sad over not being able to come alcohol.

*shrugs* I can live with it. I was drinking too much anyways. Although I do sometimes miss having a good glass of red wine with dinner.

Yes, I'm taking and all the side effects are there. Unfortunately I took it not really for the weight loss but because I needed the temporary energy. The doctor said once a day for 30 days. But I take it once or twice a week just for the energy boost. However I did take it for a week straight and I noticed the dry mouth etc... it has helped me lose 40 pounds in 2 months but, I'm very inconsistent with the douse by the end of the first month I still had more than half the bottle. So I think the weight lose is mostly your own personal decision not the drug. But meh that's just me. I know after this next doctors appointment I'm never taking it again since I rarely used it for weight loss, my new habit came from my friend pushing me.
