Hi,\nI tried the rapidslim sx and also had similar problems.  I've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).\n\nI bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)

Hi Laflavafave.  I am a retired Chiropractor.  I would suggest a chiropractic evaluation.  Specifically, ask the doctor to evaluate your neck for an anteriorally fixed rotational cervical subluxation.  Sounds complicated, but it could be the problem.\n\nTriggerpoints in various muscles of the neck, shoulders, upper back and chest, can be involved as you noted about the SCM.  What makes you think the SCM is in play?  Does massaging the tenderpoints (triggerpoints) in it reproduce some or all of your symptoms? Or is it because anatomy books suggest the SCMs are involved in swallowing?  Note: if their is a problem with the SCM, upper cervical/occipital subluxations should be corrected. 2nd note: also check the digastric muscle and internal pterygoid muscle.\n\nAnother thought, have the Chiropractor check you for a hiatal hernia.  That can affect swallowing and cause back and shoulder area pains.\n\nSomething is definitely causing your problem, so keep searching for help until you find the cause.\n\nGood luck!

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.

If you are talking about creatine....read the excerpt below then the link for the whole article...SafetyReturn to top \n\nThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not strictly regulate herbs and supplements. There is no guarantee of strength, purity or safety of products, and effects may vary. You should always read product labels. If you have a medical condition, or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements, you should speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new therapy. Consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience side effects. \n\nAllergies \nCreatine has been associated with asthmatic symptoms. People should avoid creatine if they have a known allergy to this supplement. \n\nSide Effects and Warnings \nThere is limited systematic study of the safety, pharmacology, or toxicology of creatine. Individuals using creatine, including athletes, should be monitored by a healthcare professional. Users are advised to inform their physician or other healthcare professional. \n\nSome individuals may experience gastrointestinal symptoms, including loss of appetite, stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or nausea. \n\nCreatine may cause muscle cramps or muscle breakdown, leading to muscle tears or discomfort. Weight gain and increased body mass may occur. Heat intolerance, fever, dehydration, reduced blood volume, or electrolyte imbalances (and resulting seizures) may occur. \n\nThere is less concern today than there used to be about possible kidney damage from creatine, although there are reports of kidney damage, such as interstitial nephritis. Patients with kidney disease should avoid use of this supplement. Similarly, liver function may be altered, and caution is advised in those with underlying liver disease. \n\nIn theory, creatine may alter the activities of insulin. Caution is advised in patients with diabetes or hypoglycemia, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Serum glucose levels may need to be monitored by a healthcare professional, and medication adjustments may be necessary. \n\nChronic administration of a large quantity of creatine is reported to increase the production of formaldehyde, which may potentially cause serious unwanted side-effects. \n\nBased on a case report, creatinine may increase the risk of compartment syndrome of the lower leg, a condition characterized by pain in the lower leg associated with inflammation and ischemia (diminished blood flow), which is a potential surgical emergency. \n\nPregnancy and Breastfeeding \nCreatine cannot be recommended during pregnancy or breast-feeding due to a lack of scientific information. \n\nPasteurized cow's milk appears to contain higher levels of creatine than human milk. The clinical significance of this is not clear. \n\n\nInteractionsReturn to top \n\nMost herbs and supplements have not been thoroughly tested for interactions with other herbs, supplements, drugs, or foods.

The drug you mention is very controversial. It is called clenbuterol and it is used to treat asthma in hourses. Don't take it. \n\nThe drug has apparently caused in some people rapid heartbeat, twitching eyes, out of control nerves, etc. It can stiffen the heart muscle causing major problems to the cardiac function.\n\nMost important to remember:\n\n1) The drug is not manufactured for human consumption.\n\n2) It can create "irreversable" effects to your heart.\n\nMost professional sporting associations, including the Olympics, ban the drug - and with good reason. Why would you want to take something so dangerous?\n\nIf you want to lose weight, look at other proven methods to so that are natural and won't cause you a lot of harm. One of the biggest natural ways to lose weight is to drink a lot more water. See my third source for details.

Hi Lucky,\n\nI just started taking it today. I am approx 145 pounds at 5'3. When I first took the two pills with breakfast I was feeling kind of fearful because the pills made me loose feeling in my skin. Plus I read some article that chromium could be bad for you. Nevertheless, I still want to experiment. The pills won't take your hunger away completely I think, but it helps you have more control. I must say I had an explosion of energy and had to go work out on my treadmill till I burned 350 calories to get the pill out of my system. I think because I am such a small girl at age 33, I just need to perhaps take less pills. So, I am going to reduce the amount to just one a day. Because I think they are way too strong for me. I just simply could not concentrate after taking them, all I wanted to do was get rid of the strange feeling that overcame me. It sort of felt like I drank 2 cups of coffee and could not sit still, to me that was a bit scary but, I am going to get through it, losing 20 pounds means a lot to me. The directions state you should lose a few pounds after the first week and then, they should start falling off a lot after the first week. Did you lose any weight at all? I will let everyone know my results after my first 10 days. ...then 20 days...and then 30 days to see if this stuff really works...I will eat right, not overly so, and I will exercise to burn atleast 200 calories a day. Let me know how it goes, and if anyone is experiencing the same emotions as I when taking this pill.

Ok im actually  a doctor... people should pay me for this info, but anyway...you may experience any combination of the following:\n      · slow, weak breathing; \n      · seizures; \n      · cold, clammy skin; \n      · severe weakness or dizziness; \n      · unconsciousness; \n      · yellowing of the skin or eyes; or \n      · unusual fatigue, bleeding, or bruising. \n      · constipation; \n      · dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, or decreased appetite; \n      · dizziness, tiredness, or lightheadedness; \n      · muscle twitches; \n      · sweating; \n      · itching; \n      · decreased urination; or \n      · decreased sex drive. \n\n•  Hydrocodone is habit forming.

Well the reason you didn't find anything is because the word is rhabdomyolsis. Not labdo. It's an expedited degeneration of the muscle tissue. Statin drugs like Lipitor in a small population are known to have this side effect although I've yet to witness it for myself.

I have had Fibro since I was 16 and am now almost 36. I have the same diagnosises as you including Myofascial Pain Syndrome and others. Actually, MPS should be a given. In my experience pain medications do not work. I have also tried biofeedback, steroid shots, trigger point injections, nerve blocks, accupuncture, foot braces, wrist braces, carpal tunnel release surguries, and so much more. All just torture and I felt like a guinea pig.\nMy best advise is make sure to get plenty of sleep, take a multiple vitamin, keep active in at least low impact sports, and consider Magnesium and Malic Acid supplements (consult the doctor or a nutritionist to have your Magnesuim level checked- it is a simpe mouth swab and not painful), meditation does help some in keeping the pain back if you can seperate your mind from the pain, and try to take 2-3 warm Epson Salt baths a week (Epson salt contains Magnesium and soaking in a warm tub of it helps to get the mineral into the body. Magnesium aids the muscles in using oxygen and when the level is low which is typical in Fibro it can cause are cramps, spasms, and pain.) \nAlso, Fibromyalgia is a neurotransmitter disorder certain foods can trigger similiar symptoms to Fibro. Try eliminating Monsodium Glutamate from your diet. I did and some of my symptoms (chronic headaches and nausea) went away. It is in everything from Doritos to chicken soup. A few key finding's of an FDA study found MSG to cause a "burning sensation in the back of the neck, forearms and chest". Otherwise, learn your limits and pace yourself.\nGood luck!

Personally, I have had Fibro since I was 16 and am now almost 36. I have seen more doctors over the years than I can count from Neurologists to Rhuematologists to Chiropractors to Psychiatrists to Pain Specialists. In my experience pain medications do not work. A muscle relaxant is much more helpful. I have also tried biofeedback, steroid shots, trigger point injections, two sleep studies, nerve blocks, accupuncture, foot braces, wrist braces, carpal tunnel release surguries, and so much more. All just torture and I felt like a guinea pig.\n\nMy best advise is to take a good muscle relaxant (I take Zanaflex), make sure to get plenty of sleep, take a multiple vitamin, remember you are what you eat, keep active in at least low impact sports, and consider Magnesium and Malic Acid supplements (consult the doctor or a nutritionist to have your Magnesuim level checked- it is a simpe mouth swab and not painful), meditation does help some in keeping the pain back if you can seperate your mind from the pain, and try to take 2-3 warm Epson Salt baths a week (Epson salt contains Magnesium and soaking in a warm tub of it helps to get the mineral into the body.

A few key finding's of an FDA study found MSG to cause a "burning sensation in the back of the neck, forearms and chest". Otherwise, learn your limits and pace yourself.\nThere, unfortunately is no current cure.\n\n\nA study explains why we feel so much pain...\n\nFibromyalgia pain, isn't all in patients' heads new brain study finds. \nJune 7, 2002 \nfMRI scans give first objective measure of mysterious ailment, provide road map for future study\n\nANN ARBOR, MI - A new brain-scan study confirms scientifically what fibromyalgia patients have been telling a skeptical medical community for years: They're really in pain.\n\nIn fact, the study finds, people with fibromyalgia say they feel severe pain, and have measurable pain signals in their brains, from a gentle finger squeeze that barely feels unpleasant to people without the disease. The squeeze's force must be doubled to cause healthy people to feel the same level of pain - and their pain signals show up in different brain areas.\n\nThe results, published in the May issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism, the journal of the American College of Rheumatology, may offer the proof of fibromyalgia's physical roots that many doubtful physicians have sought. It may also open doors for further research on the still-unknown causes of the disease, which affects more than 2 percent of Americans, mainly women.\n\nLead authors Richard Gracely, Ph.D., and Daniel Clauw, M.D., did the study at Georgetown University Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health, but are now continuing the work at the University of Michigan Health System. In an editorial in the same issue, Clauw and U-M rheumatologist Leslie Crofford, M.D., stress the importance of fibromyalgia research and care.\n\nTo correlate subjective pain sensation with objective views of brain signals, the researchers used a super-fast form of MRI brain imaging, called functional MRI or fMRI, on 16 fibromyalgia patients and 16 people without the disease. As a result, they say, the study offers the first objective method for corroborating what fibromyalgia patients report they feel, and what's going on in their brains at the precise moment they feel it. And, it gives researchers a road map of the areas of the brain that are most - and least - active when patients feel pain.\n\n"The fMRI technology gave us a unique opportunity to look at

hi the only true tablet that has effect you are looking for is ephedrine, this is not good idea though there is the fact it makes you loose weight but if serious you should do exercise and consume less carbos not take these or any tablet as even if work you will be left with loose skin, with exercise and diet you can gradualy recover quick fixes are bad, if diet and exercise dont work ( and you are sticking to it) it may just be your metabolisim slowing and not much you can do or may be underlying medical probleme, lifes too short and taking effedrine or any type of amphetamine i dont recomend but do work

It is not a common side effect, though it is considered a rare one. I would call your doctor, as water retention is a rare side effect of this medication

I took it but did not get that reaction at all.  Instead, I felt a little weird in the head and kinda shaky.  I stopped taking them because after a few days, it started upsetting my stomach and causing me to have painful BM.  (IF anything, I had more energy).\n\nEveryone reacts differently to medications.  Report your symptoms to your doctor (make sure the doctor gets the info and not the nurse).  You can also go on Medline and type Mobic and it should give you the side effects.  It is a very good anti-inflammatory but does not work for everyone.
