This stuff is a bunch of bunk, the company has been fined by the FDA for false advertisement...Don't bother. The only ones that Relacore helps is the company that sells it.

hey there, \ni am a pharma rep.  I havent sold that particular drug but it is a good one.  I have taken it before.  It is great for ulcers and bad acid reflux or heart burn.  it is a strong drug, but little to no serious side effects that you should worry about.  talk to your doctor if you are worried.  \n\noh, and here in canada it is the most expensive drug in its class.  There are just effective.... and cheeper drugs avail.\n\nhope that helps

Rikki - I wouldn't touch it!\n\nDoctors are wrong about this one. Depo provera is not safe!\n\nUnbeknownst to many women on birth control, Depo-Provera has been on the radar for the FDA and other research-based health organizations for several years. Last year, the FDA ordered the maker of Depo-Provera to revise the packaging and promotional materials to contain the new "black box" warning which states, "Use of Depo-Provera Contraceptive Injection may cause you to lose calcium stored in your bones. The longer you use Depo-Provera Contraceptive Injection the more calcium you are likely to lose. Depo-Provera Contraceptive Injection contains a powerful variant of the hormone progestosterone which is released through a hypodermic shot given every few months. \n\nSeveral studies have indicated that this hormone can increase the loss of bone density in women of all ages, including teen and young adult women who are in critical stages of natural bone growth. Osteoporosis and the loss of bone density typically effect women later in life making them susceptible to fractures throughout the skeletal system. Health care professionals advise those taking Depo-Provera to discuss a bone density test with their physician and advise using Depo-Provera for no more than 2 years or using a birth control alternative.\n\nHere is one young lady's experience:\n50lb weight gain (half off most of it now years later) \nExtreme Excitability, Nervousness (first two years terrible) \nPanic Attacks, Paranoia (first two years) \nShortness of Breath (horrible first two years - still with me today) \nGreat loss of libido (first two years, getting better every year) \nPainful intercourse (for about two years) \nSevere lack of lubrication (at least 2 yrs., getting better) \nLowered immune system (still suffering but not as severe) \nLoss of hair (the first year with shot, then subsided) \nNow (current) unwanted hair on breasts, toes, face \nViolent headaches (coming from pain at base of skull) \nExtremely sore, stiff, crippled muscles all over body (still today but MUCH better than 97,98,99) \nBlurry vision - trouble getting my eyes to focus on objects \nDizziness (still today - but MUCH improved) \nInability to bend over (feel like I will pass out) \nSevere neck and shoulder pain (still today) \nJaw pain.. facial pain (like TMJ symptoms) 5+ years \nBreast Tenderness & Pains - Fibrocystic breasts (still today) \nHeart palpitations - irregular heart beat (still today) \nChronic sinus and yeast infections (still today) \nConcentration and memory problems (still today) \nAcne - not (teenager type acne - large boil/cyst like acne) \nSuicidal thoughts because daily debilitating pain was too much

News to me  that ephedra is on the market.  I'd be leary of taking it.  I typed in ephedra in Yahoo search and came up with followng sites, but nothing about it being back on the market.  Maybe it was the alkaloids that made it harmful.

Phentermine can be dangerous as hell! Talk to a doctor (a good one for christ sake) before you get yourself into that.  Good Luck!  Ciao!\n-C

I take Reliv. I have to get it from a private distributor, her name is Kiera Newbury. You can contact her at 623-486-4617 or newburypatch@hotmail.com for information on it. \n\nThe product basiclly gives a balanced nutrition to the body which we need especially because of all the nutrition in our modern day foods are being depleted. This product has worked great for me, you might want to try it, especialy as it has a 100% money back gaurantee.

I was on this for 3 months (couldn't make it the 6 months) and had numerous problems.  Some people have little to no issues while others experience a lot.  Below is what happened to me.\n\n1. Continous migraine-like headaches.\n2. Dry heaves after eating anything.  It was very diffult to keep food down.  I lost 16 lbs in 3 months.\n3. This one's obvious - hot flashes and night sweats.\n4. Anxiety.  I felt like I needed to crawl out of my skin sometimes.\n5. Heart palpitations.\n6. I would get a fluttering that started near my heart and then expanded out just a few seconds before a hot flash.  It was really weird.\n7. Memory loss and difficulty concentrating.\n\nThese were the main issues I had.\n\nI was on this for endometriosis.  It stopped my periods but there was still some pain.  The side effects were so bad though that my doctor put me on hormones which caused the period to start back up!!!  Anyway, based on my experience I wouldn't recommend this as a first drug of choice.  There may be better options.\n\nThe other GnRH agonists similar to Lupron are Zolodex and Synarel.  Synarel is a nasal spray and Zolodex is a subcutaneous implant.  My doctor said that Zolodex is painful and he didn't recommend it.  Synarel may be a good option because if there are lots of problems you can stop taking it.  You can't squeeze out the injection if you have problems.\n\nGood luck.

I was takeing it before for depression and anxiety and i found it really did work (espeically for my anxiety). Don't throw them away like some people suggest, those are just the ignorant ones that thinks it's a sin to give your body a little medical help, when there is absolutely nothing wrong with medication. Sorry about that, but you need to listen to whatever your doc said. Other than not changing your dosage w/out your docs permission and taken your meds at a constant time (like right before dinner every day so you don't forget a dose) and not taking them on an empty stomach (unless told to by your doc) there ain't to much. Don't mess with the dosage, don't skip days if possible, and don't stop taking them because you start to feel better, some ppl stop when they feel better and then they just go downhill. Just listen to your doc, he/she is a professional and knows what's best for you.

We have asked my doctor for it several times and his explanation of why we don't want it convinces us it is dangerous.\n\nI did get some free samples from another doctor and took one pill but my heart acted up so bad from it I threw them out. That is bad stuff.

I do know that you probably shouldn't take it.  It's not worth all of the side effects--including death.  It's also called acid, sheet, liquid, dose, blotter... you'll probably have the best luck with erowid for information if you're doing a report or something.  Please be very aware of what I have already told you if you are considering taking the drug.  A dose can kill.

I have been taking Relacore for about a week now and my craving for sweets is gone and I no longer eat for no reason or obsess about food, my mood is so much better now and my libido has come back and I have lost 3 lbs thus far this is a diet pill I will stick with. So yes Relacore has helped me.

This has never been studied.\n\nThe good news is that is is probably safe, the bad news is, the reason this is probably so is relacore is CRAP.\n\nWorthless marketing junk. If it worked as it said it would interact with insulin, because it does not work any better than any of the other ephedra wanna-bes it would not be a problem.\n\nEVERY physician will tell you DON'T take the risk. but the real answer is DON'T waste your money , the risk is low becuase the product is worthless and potentially dangerous.\n\nGo ask your doctor about BYETTA.\nA new injectable medicine (non-insulin) called an "incretin"\n\nThe avg pat loses 4 to 6 pounds in the first 1 month and I have seen up to 60 pounds at two years (this is above the avg weight loss)\ninsulin doses go down, and need to be adjusted. there is a high nausea rate, but only 3% of patients stop for this reason.\n\nIt works for weight loss. \n\nIf your doctor is an internist or family pratice they may not be familiar with this med, in that case go see an endocrinologist. It is a safe, brilliant new way for insulin dependant diabetics to get better control of diabetes while losing weight.\n\nTry BYETTA under physician supervision. Please don't try relacore.\nConsider less late night TV too - the infomercials will kill you faster than the diabetes ever could!\nGood luck!

Relacore 'claims' to reduce cortisol levels by helping you relax and balancing out your blood sugar.   A balanced or stable blood sugar is supposed to keep your body from storing carbohydrates as fat when insulin levels are high.  Relacore also contains vitamins (C, Calcium, Chromium, and L-theanine) that 'claim' to help you relax and not store fat.\n\nThis is why they say in the ads on TV that, "Stress Causes Fat" or something of that nature.  \n\nDo yourself a favor and read all you can about the ingredients in diet pills - you may be allergic to some of them (they contain many).\n\nYou can discuss diet pills here ->  http://www.diet-pill-review.com/forum

Don't do it.  I took the welbutrin for 1 week, I started hearing voices, I couldn't sleep, I had horrible stomach pains, vomiting and I only stopped smoking because my stomach hurt so bad.  Try cold-turkey it works the best.  If you do wind up taking the welbutrin stop taking it if you experience any side effects, it is a bad drug for some people.\n\nI don't want to scare you, but I think I should've asked before I took it-- so here, I found this post on line:\n\nI took Welbutrin for 12 days. I started having severe kidney pain with blood in my urine. After a few days I had severe/Exruciating pain in my whole body, Back, side, chest, Arms, It felt like every organ in my body was going to explode. I Also had some very disturbing sensations running through my whole body. Heart palpitations, shortness of breath. I can't begin to tell you how much pain and anxiety i was experiencing. I went to numerous different Emergency rooms and doctors in a 3 week period, and every one of them couldn't find anything wrong with me. Actually I believe they all thought I was crazy. They run all sorts of blood tests and xrays and found nothing. Finally a doc said it is possible that it was a toxic effect from the Welbutrin. I know that it has something to do with Welbutrin, I'm not sure what it was doing to me, but It almost killed me. Today, almost 5 weeks after stopping the drug, I am still not well. I still have pain in my back and arms and some weird and VERY disturbing sensations that come and go (I believe it is nerve damage) and suffer from constant dizziness and fatigue. I will see a neurologist in 2 weeks. I hope this is something that can be treated. If not my life is totally ruined! I have never been sick in my life, and have always been very active. Now I can't even work around my house without getting totally exhausted. PLEASE be careful taking this drug! It has altered my life in a way that you could never imagine! I wanted to quit smoking so bad that I ignored the side effects I experienced the very first time I took it. I will live to regret that for the rest of my life.

I took it 10 years ago.  It was a godsend for me.  Just stay out of the sun...really...as in you'll burn!  Also, your lips will become very dry.  I recomend a product called DCT (Daily Care Therapy) made by Blistex.  I comes in a jar, rather than a tube.  A pharmacist suggested this to me b/c merely applying "stick" lip balm tore my lips up.  You will also need a blood test every month to check your liver enzymes (Accutane is pretty tough on the old liver).  You can't drink alcohol, or take Vitamin A supplements while on Accutane therapy.  Of course, if you are a woman, you MUST take every precaution not to be, or become pregnant before and during your course of treatment.  Follow all of these, and I think you will be ok.  I have many friends who have taken it as well. None have had nay problems to my knowledge.  It's something you must weigh the risks vs. benefits.  It is truly a miracle drug.  I tried everyting; minocycline, tetracycline, erythromycin (orally and topically), salicylic acid, and every OTC benzoyl peroxide product in existence; all with minimal results. Within 6 weeks on Accutane, I had NOT ONE pimple.  Good luck!
