Anyone using weight lose supplemment, if so - side effects?

Out of desperation I bought Metab-o-FX as a supplement. I've been getting horrible headaches, but WOW does it give me energy.

You are normally suppose to take 3 pills a day, I only take 2 because I was worried about the headaches but the plus side effects are much better (in regards to energy)

I'm just wondering if anyone else has tried this product before? Or any advice for other supplements good for FEMALES?

I know supplements don't have a drastic affect on weight lose, but i exercise consitently and constantly watch my calories.

I also tried zantrax 3. It made me feel very anxious and caused nausea. I tried it for a few weeks, crazy me, thinking I would adjust to the pills, but the side effects continued. Also, I didn't notice the rate of my weighloss increasing at all. I think they're a hoax and a dangerous one at that. I wont be trying anymore diet pills. I'm done with that.

A long time ago I tried phentermine. I would NOT recommend it. It has a speedy kind of effect to it. It made my emotions all over the place. I'd get angry easily, weepy and generally unstable. I felt anxious and irritable. Additionally it burnt out my adrenal glands and it took me about 9 months of working closely with a doctor to restore them. Be very careful about going the drug route. It's not worth it to drop ten pounds and lose your health

I tried metlabolife back a few years ago. raised my heart rate. stopped soon after.

tried a corti-slim variant for a feww weeks. no noticeable side effects, but no noticeable extra weight loss.

Wow, to the poster who took phentermine. I also took that for a while, I didn't have any side effects and did see some weight loss. I stopped and lost more and when I tried to take them again they did make me speedy and emotionally all over the place. I learned that because I had lost weight I was taking a dose too high for me. At my weight I should have taken a lower dose. I also learned that you can't take phentermine over a long period of time and your doctor should have known that. Its not for long term weight loss its basicly a kick start to get your metabolism going.

dexatrim

a doctor told me it was just legal speed. he pretty much said I was a junky coming down (I was weening myself off).

side note - I've lost 30lbs w/out taking any medication, just by making small changes, and setting small goals.
