Samantha-\n\nI rec'd a direct mail piece on Proxenol, and did some investigation...it appears that there are no side effects, other than reducing your wallet by $39.95, $20.95 or $19.95. There is a health forum discussion you can find via google, and several have tried this supplement, and it appears to be useless. - Todd

Well I can't find the site you were on but Orthosiphon is just an herb that company's are putting into there weight loss pills. If they are not giving you a lot of info on the product I would stay away from it. If you want a recommendation I did some research and I right now am taking lipo6 from nutrex. I have not been taking the recommended doses cause it strong stuff and I am trying to get use it to. I need to step up my work out but it seems to be working. Check out GNC.com and see what out there. You can get stuff there for like 40 buck and get it right away instead of waiting for shipping and paying for shipping

All these diet pills work but have dangerous side effects. Even the one that don't contain effidrane they still contain really strong ingredents that cause weight loss.  I know listening to someone tell you how bad something is for you doesn't make you not want to try it.  Especally if you heard the results that people get from them.  The truth is people do take these products everyday and have no side effects.  But at any time they can!  I use to take Xantrax I thought it was a miracle drug.  I would take it for 4-8 weeks and usually loss around 25lbs and still be able to eat what ever I wanted and not have to work out.  I took it off and on for about 2yrs until I had a reaction.  When I say reaction I mean I felt like I was dying.  I broke out in cold sweats,  started vomiting, couldn't stand up, racing heart, and elivated blood pressure.  I never understand how serious this medication could be.  If you look at the package it says it hasn't been evaluated by the FDA.  This means that they do not do proper testing on the products and there side effects before putting them on the market.  I quite taking the product and luckily so far I don't have any permint damage.  I could take years for such side effects to show up.  The major side effect is heart damage.  I knew someone that had a stroke taking this same product.  He finally can walk again but he is semi-parilized on the right side of his body.  I fill so bad everytime I see him because this could have been me.  I am so thankful I had the since to stop.

I was on Zyprexa also and they gave it to me along with the CELEXA.  The Zyprexa was to help me sleep because I just can't sleep more than a couple hours at a time.  HOWEVER! ZYPREXA has MANY MANY class action law-suits against it and this drug about to be pulled from circulation.  It causes way too many side effects.  I wouldn't take it anymore if I were you, but that's up to you.  Don't do anything without asking your doctor.  I received all kinds of papers in the mail about this nationwide lawsuit and even calls at home advising me to no longer take it.  It basically the first few times I used it, did it's job and knocked me out cold, I was on next to the smallest dose.  Then it got to where it didn't faze me.  I did however find it made me more angry.  Just my own experience with it.  Good Luck.

Sounds like anxiety perhaps some depression also , the drug paxil works for me and have had no problems since I began taking it along with zanax . It is prescribed for anxiety,depression and obsessive compulsive difficulties. There are other drugs available also. Get checked out you'll be glad you did . It could be from a chemical imbalance in your body and these drugs stimulate your body to produce more which then helps the problem. Good luck there are solutions so no need to continue putting up with it.

zaditen is not available in the us, but according to the manufacturer the drug is ketotifen.  apparently, these websites say it is used for asthma, but according to the FDA and Drug Facts and Comparisons, ketotifen is used to treat eye infections.  Be wary of medications manufactured or sold outside of the us, over 50% are conterfeit and other countries do not have the high standards of testing the the US does.  especially if it is your child who already has a pre-existing medical condition.\np.s.-if you ever have concerns, speak with your doctor or pharmacist, you can get a lot of bad advice on here.

I take Avonex.  The side effects were pretty bad for the first few times.  I started taking it last September, and I am getting ALOT better now with the side effects.  I take it about 2 hours before bed, on a day when i can sleep in really late.  I'm kinda tired and sore when I get up but after a few hours I am ok.  \n\nI hope you arent delaying treatment because you are worried about the side effects.  \n\nI havent had an exacerbation since I have started Avonex.  I know that isnt very long but my odds are a lot better if I stay on it.

i took it for like one or two days & had horrible side effects.  i got confused & forgot what i was doing in the middle of cooking dinner.  i also had horrible anxiety & restlessness.  i haven't heard any good feedback about it. i wouldn't recommend it.  however, everyone reacts differently to different meds.

I used  Zantec (prescription) for awhile, but the side affects were horrible.  Basically, you have to have the strong will and determination to do it.  You have to quit becuase you want to and not because someone else wants you to.\n\nSurround yourself with those that support you, not those that will let you / help you cave.  I quit drinking alcohol for about a month because I knew it would be a trigger for me.  It gets easier every day.\n\nCheck out www.quitnet.com.  \n\nGood luck!

Newspaper readers around the U.S. are again being bombarded in early 2006 by ad inserts in their Sunday papers touting "The New Skinny Pill," which closer reading reveals as the supplement Zyladex Plus.\n\nAccording to the ad, which features the misleading photo of what appears to be a prescription drug bottle, this amazing pill "is now available in the United States without a prescription" and will enable you to lose up to 15 pounds a week. The ad claims "clinical studies prove it." \n\nThe ad, however, provides absolutely no information about what is in this pill or how it works, and its manufacturer Medlab has no website where this information can be found. When you phone the number in the ad that you are urged to call 24 hours a day to order the product, and ask what the active ingredient in the pill is, the operator tells you "I actually do not have that information available."\n\nBut when this pill was being pushed several years ago, it was one of the many containing the combination of the amphetamine-like compound Ephedrine (since banned by the U.S. FDA) and caffeine.\n\nFurther research suggests that the active ingredient in the current formulation is bitter orange, a common substitute for ephedrine. Extracts from the peel of bitter orange contain the chemical synephrine, a substance similar to ephedrine, and it may contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolism. \n\nIt is unclear whether bitter orange acts similarly in raising heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure, but if it does, Zyladex Plus could be risky for people with arrhythmias and high blood pressure.\n\nWhile the ad misleadingly seeks to invoke the good name of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by saying Zyladex Plus has been "approved for release by a FDA REGISTERED laboratory," needless to say the product -- like virtually all supplements -- has NEVER been judged for effectiveness or safety by the FDA

The "weird side effects" part will exclude the supplement I took. GNC offered Xenadrine with ephedra some years back (before it was banned). The GNC store rep pretty much told me that it has no side effects and it is completely safe. He even showed me the testimonials from such celebs as Sylvester Stallone and said it was legitimate. (I should have known then and there that if Sly's stamp of quality is on a product, something must be wrong)\n\nWhile I did lose weight because it completely suppressed my appetite (to the point where in the first couple days I barely ate anything), but my heart beat almost twice as fast at rest and when I tried to exercise I was winded within 10 minutes. I wasn't really extremely overweight, just maybe 5-10 pounds over my normal weight. Plus I did exercise before I took the ephedra. Xenadrine later went on to claim that the reports of deaths from their supplement were erroneous because the people who had been taking ephedra were so overweight and out of shape that they would have had heart attacks anyway. I think that's complete nonsense. I could run several miles before taking that drug and I wasn't more that a few pounds over my normal weight. After taking it I could barely run half a mile before getting totally winded and flushed. The drug is dangerous, period.\n\nThe one thing I hope you can take away from this anecdote is that you should never take a supplement's testimonials at face value. For one, they have a conflict of interest: they must claim their product is both safe and effective or else they run out of business. Secondly, GNC and its store reps are often as much to blame as the companies, because they may gloss over evidence that shows that the supplement is not safe in order to make a sale. I have often wondered how GNC can claim it is about health and well-being when practically half of their products have no scientific evidence behind them. Frankly, a lot of the stuff GNC offers is borderline "speed" or anabolic steroids- albeit made in such a way to appear it is "natural" or "herbal". Cyanide is also natural.\n\nXenadrine now has a supplement that no longer contains ephedra (aka ma juang). But it still contains a lot of stimulants. Anna Nicole Smith lost a ton of weight because they basically drugged her up with stimulants (I mean seriously, you think she actually worked out to get that way?).\n\nCaffeine is a common ingredient in weight loss and energy supplements. Caffeine suppresses your appetite while also increasing your metabolism. I guess it's good, to a point. But the levels of caffeine in some of these supplements makes them equivalent to 5 or more cups of coffee. Try drinking that amount of coffee and see what results you get. You will get all jittery, nervous, and easily peeved.\n\nThese supplements will work initially since they suppress appetite. But you don't really want to take them in the long run. They won't change your lifestyle. If anything, they will make you more dependent on them. Once you go off the supplements, your metabolism will be so out of whack that you'll start to pack on the pounds again. Weight bearing exercise to build muscle mass and aerobic exercise, along with a reduction in caloric intake, are the only effective, long-term ways to lose weight. Supplements aren't for the long term, even if they do work initially.
