Does Slimquick work?

@Snow_White If you had read my post, you would have seen I am aware of that fact, and that I am counting calories. Why else would I be using this site? I didn't come here for the great conversation. My only reason was to use their tools to track my eating habits and weight loss. I thought it couldn't hurt to use the forums since I had a question.

I would like to restate to everyone else, I am not under the false impression it will drop the lbs for me. I already know there is no miracle for weight loss, that it only comes from hard work and self control. I'm not here because I don't know how to eat right. Unfortunately I didn't get here because I can't control myself or eat all the wrong things.

I didn't have an issue with buying healthy until later into my weight gain. I was vegetarian for 8 years, not a junk food vegetarian, a legitimate vegetarian who ate all the right stuff. I had a breakdown, causing one of the worst episodes I have ever had. I was put on drugs like Lamictal, Trazodone, Seroquel XR, and Risperdal(the worst of them all). I lost my cycle, a lot of my hair, developed acne and bad skin, hair in strange places, and worst of all my pant size pretty much doubled. Despite eating as well as I could when I could nothing I did stopped the weight gain, let alone reversed it. I counted every calorie when I could eat and when I wasn't incapable of movement I exercised as much as I could.

So as stated, diet and exercise is not an issue for me other than when I can afford it. I have more money than I did before, but I work service at McDonalds for 15 hours, sometimes less, a week at minimum wage. My troubles aren't a matter of dedication. If I can cut meat out of my diet for 8 years, I can cut my calories. What I am looking for is a little boost. I need a little more energy, a little less stress (which is already started since I moved from my previous situation), and a lot less pills to be taking. I can't swallow capsules. I have issues with horse pill styled vitamins, and swallowing too many little pills makes me sick too. I have an awful gag reflex, and a prone to ulcers (thank medications again).

I did not buy this bottle of slimquick, it was shared with me through my girlfriend's family. I have the Fat Burner one, blue label, and it says clinical strength. I like the look of what it contains, because I fully believe in the use of certain herbs and vitamins to aid in ailments. Its got everything I was looking to incorporate like Vitamin B's and Folic Acid. I already take some vitamins and made sure it doesn't overlap.

I didn't want weight loss advice, I wanted to hear other's experiences with this supplement. I already know everything I could possibly cram in my head about diet and exercise. I took the classes, I did all the research, and I already am obsessed with fitness. I just think a little bit of a boost would be helpful, since I have issues with deficiencies and depending on the day or episode I feel drained all the time.

Yes, I have checked with my doctor. They worry more about how weight loss pills would affect my bipolar rather than my heart. At the moment, nothing is hurting my heart worse than my weight. I can't get overly involved with cardio because its my aortic valve, and blood washes back into my left ventricle. As for the bipolar, they already messed up my treatment, a diet supplement won't hurt worse than those drugs did. They worry that some ingredients can increase mania or negate the ability of MAOIs but I have never taken and MAOI, and I suffer depression more than mania.

Now that all of that is established, if there is anyone who has taken this as instructed for at least the amount of time they mention, followed diet and exercise, and could tell me about their experience with it I would be grateful.

Thank you to those with honest advice, its appreciated.

(Btw, There is more in it than green tea and caffeine. I already looked at that and already had green tea supplements as well as tons of teas and black chai for a caffeine boost.)

@LexiMelo One of the first places I checked was Amazon. The problem with that is you get people who took it for a few days, a couple weeks at most and are butthurt that the pounds weren't just falling off. The other half are people propositioned to market. I see job ads all the time asking people to write positive reviews for various products. So any real reviews get lost in all the BS.
I wasn't asking about lethal injection, I was inquiring about essentially a multivitamin. When people state the obvious or give me warnings for things I already stated I was aware of it gets redundant and I get frustrated. I didn't want a lecture, I wanted to hear from people who have used it and what they experienced. When I go to buy an appliance or something I am not looking for someone to lecture me on things I already know, I just want to find out if other people liked it or not and if they have any comments. If someone who doesn't even own it is lecturing me rather than giving a review of their experience, it gets annoying.
Haven't tried it, then commentary isn't necessary. Have tried it and have an opinion, commentary welcome. Haven't tried this one but have another type to suggest, I'm open to info. How hard of a concept is that to grasp?

@MagicalLeople Tear you up in what way? Jitters? Or palpitations? I was worried about it too, so cut out coffee and am being cautious. I haven't had any issues with it yet thus far though. If I liked it I was going to look into the caffeine free one possibly, depending if it affected my heart rate or not. I haven't gone to work while taking it yet though, I had four days off in a row. Have you tried anything similar that didn't affect your heart?

@Raptorette69 What is Xyience? What was your experience with that? And thank you, I'd be glad to hear back on your experience. I feel the same, its meant to aid. Which is what I need, something to aid.

I lost my cycle, a lot of my hair, developed acne and bad skin, hair in strange places, and worst of all my pant size pretty much doubled. Despite eating as well as I could when I could nothing I did stopped the weight gain, let alone reversed it. I counted every calorie when I could eat and when I wasn't incapable of movement I exercised as much as I could.

Have they ruled out PCOS?

My doctor thought that and thyroid might be part of my problems, but I was tested for both with a lack of significant results. I know risperdal really screws up hormones and most of my issues started from that. I only recently regained my cycle. My hair and skin still suffer, but with care are improving. My doctors really don't know whats going on with me and tests indicate that other than what we already know I ought to be perfectly healthy and not having these issues with my weight since discontinuing the drug therapy they had me on. That, or my doctors are just clueless in general which wouldn't be the first time. While my hormone test or whatever came back with insignificant results, I previously underwent a lot of testing in high school because of suspected PCOS and Endometriosis. I was given a multitude of ultrasounds which confirm I have a lot more cysts that normal, and I've always been prone to cysts. So I don't know anymore whats going on with that. I can't go see a doctor regularly anymore though because I live outside the area my insurance covers, I moved in September.

If it were PCOS, would there be anything I can do about it?
If birth control is a suggestion, we already learned I can't do that. I was put on it in the past for Dysmenorrhea.

Almost heart failure. I start having trouble breathing, my heart flutters worse than usual, i bloat and retain water. Its not caffiene that bugs me-i drink a pot of coffee a day.

I wonder why that happens then, I thought it would be the caffeine that did it. How soon did you experience that? Did it take a while or happen within the first days? I just want to give A an idea of if something would happen what to look for and how long until we would know if we were in the clear or not. I know it sounds like I am playing with fire, but I just feel if I avoid things because something *might* happen, I would be missing out on a whole lot in life. At the moment, my heart is supposedly very healthy, It just has issues pumping blood. The valve doesn't open the way the normal ones do so the blood backs up. My main worry is if my heart starts racing or something. Stuff like that weakens my valve and that chamber. Its why I avoid too much cardio right now. Which seems the opposite of what one does with a heart issue since the point is to strengthen the heart, but until I get back back into the the mid hundreds it could be an issue.

While I have the opportunity to talk to someone with heart problems as well, would you mind telling me what kind of exercises work for you? I get the problem that if I am too active my breathing gets funny **they originally thought I had asthma** and my chest burns and my heart doesn't keep up, and beats hard. So I avoid treadmills and running since running triggers it most, and A says I can't shovel snow this winter cause that triggers it too. Bicycling hasn't been that bad, I love riding my bike but its winter so most of the outdoor activities I do are off limits. At the moment I have been doing usual things like lunges, squats, sit ups, crunches, and etc. I have been looking into less intense versions of things like plyometrics and that muscle confusion stuff. I used to do cardio kickboxing and tae bo. Some advice from someone with similar issues could really help me out.

I just started SlimQuick Razor this weekend, so I can't give any success reports.

However, I can say that I have had more energy in the last few days than I have in the last few months or years. I too must be careful with caffeine products, but because of my frequent migraine headaches and I have a love/hate relationship with caffeine as a result. So far, at least on the low dose, I haven't had any issues.

Next week when I amp up to 2 pills per dose will really tell the story for me - palpitations are pretty normal for me and my stress levels have been through the roof lately, have ulcer and sensitive stomach on top of that. I'll know for sure then if it's doing more harm than good, but for now it's just been the boost of not feeling tired and run down constantly that has been the most beneficial for me at this early stage.

Best wishes for your health in all of this - listen to your body first and foremost of course. I'd love to keep up with your experience and impressions of taking this if you'd not mind updating now and then.

I'd love to update about it. You should share your progress with me too . I have heard that people who need a slightly bigger kick when they plateau or are on the last bit add Razor instead of any of the regular ones, so I might try that later if my weight loss slows, of it sounds like it helps. I go up to 2 pills later this week on the regular and am doing a weigh in on friday to see if my weight has changed from last friday. My goal is 2 lbs difference. I read 2 lbs a week is a good goal and ideal though given my weight and everything its possible I could get that initial couple weeks of big loss before it slows to a regular pace.

I know exactly what you are saying. That boost makes a big difference for me. With everything going on I often just don't have the energy to exercise. I feel sluggish at work, even on my days off. Drinking tons of coffee to be awake and have an energy boost is just too much. I am trying to cut back on coffee because I want to drink more water. I kind of feel more relaxed on top of that if that makes sense. I have energy, and I am feeling relaxed. Sounds contradictory, but the relaxed is more of a mood thing and it affecting me physically. I get stressy. Even if it doesn't make much of a difference compared to just diet and exercise alone, I'm happy for that little kick lol.

Best of luck to you , and thanks
