Ups and Downs, Aug 25, 2011
|
reviewer: Chris from Toronto
|
| I may be overly sensitive to the caffeine since not drinking coffee for the last 2 years, but for me NRG is good for the first few hours but then I always have a crash where I\'m really frustrated, very aggro and irritable for hours more, and I can only assume it\'s a reaction to some of these ingredients. And I\'m talking about taking just ONE in the morning before exercise. Anyone else find the same thing? |

Scary Side Effects, Jun 04, 2009
|
reviewer: Naomi Osorio Walizer from Norcross GA
|
| I am having some scary side effects since I took Xenadrine energy eight hour this morning. The recommended dosage for me was four pills. that is what I took. My face is very itchy,
I cannot concentrate very well at all. Feel really dizzy right now like I am going to pass out. I took this pill around 10:00am and it now 5:22pm. I would never recommend. |

Pretraining tune ups, Oct 15, 2008

reviewer: Anonymous from Vancouver
|
| I am not one much for diet pills, but have had some succes in the past with a loss of 55 pounds. I have 2 heavy training schedules a year and like to tone up during those time. I am currently 6'4" 100 KG and 39 years old. I have just started and here is my schedule. 2 tablets on non-workout days and 4 on workout days. I do martial arts 3 to 4 times a week at a min 2 hours a class. I also do p90x ab ripper exercises 3 days a week. I also take a multivitamine as recommended by many diet pills. I am taking 2 GNC Mega Men sports a day. My dietary is no carbs after 7 PM and no food after 8. I eat mostly vegetables. My weight loss is not manditory, but lean muscle is at this point. Will let you know how it turns out. |

reviewer: Tired of Morrooons not using common sense from Los Angeles
|
| This is a great energy booster tablet system. I don't write these reviews however i thought I should put in my 2 cents. First and foremost no pill will ever help you loose weight if you continue to consume more calories than you burn off. Second, any kind of pill weather good or bad will always be over used. The majority of people who complain about this pill is because they usually "over do it" if you drink 3 cups of coffee a day relax with the coffee and take 1 pill if you take theses pills then you shouldnt be drinking coffee in the first place! I love the taste of coffee in the morning also which is why I take my 1 pill at lunch time and not like they recommend 2 pills in the morning which shouldn't be taken unless you are someone who is constantly in need of energy and in desperate need of energy. And last please don't take more than 2 pills a day, i used to take 2 a day around 3pm and found myself exhausted, and why? Because I was working out! So don't take 2 pills and plan to run a mile because you will tire out after the first lap. Use common sense and use only 1 pill and 2 when you really need that energy or loose that weight (by sweat) by end of the week. |

Read before you take, Jul 24, 2008
|
reviewer: Kary from Los Angeles CA USA
|
| I started taking these in high school a few years ago and they definitely gave me an energy boost. It did make me a little shaky/jittery but it didn't bother me very much. I didn't lose any lbs but it did cut out some noticeable fat and made me look thinner. I went off of them after some harassment from friends and started birth control a few months later. Stopped that, then tried NRG again after gaining a few pounds from the OC's and had a MAJOR anxiety attack. I took the recommended dose for someone trying to lose 10 lbs or less. I think it might have been the birth control that changed my anxiety or depression. I wish I could try them again because I liked what they did but now i feel like I have heart or lung problems. i often get sharp pains in my chest and I dont know if its from the diet pills or me being a hypochondriac. Be VERY VERY careful when using these. They could mess you up for life. Really consider other options before taking any kind of diet pill. Also, after you stop taking the pills you will most likely gain any lost weight back. |

it works but, Jul 16, 2008
|
reviewer: Dave from Canada
|
| I must say, t works but you have to do something on your own like exercicing and dieting, it'll go faster. I read the reviews and some were complainning about chest pains etc. I'm already a coffee addict, so no pains for me but I noticed a nice boost of energy throughout the day since I take the pills at around noon ( I still need the taste of coffee in the morning). |

How to make it works, Nov 23, 2007
|
reviewer: Amazon from Anytown, AT 55555
|
Xenadrine nrg is a stimulant just like ephedrine or amphetamine because it contains a significant amount of caffeine. However, it is a mild form of stimulant. When using any kind of stimulants, please consume vitamin b complex, at least 1000mg calcium and 500mg magnesium 3 hours prior to consume the stimulant. This is to avoid jittery, nervousness and heart palpitation due to overstimulating nervous system and adrenal gland cause by the stimulant. 1 hour after consume any type of stimulant, please consume at least 1000mg vitamin c and multi vitamin to detox the body from free radicals. Use this formula and xenadrine nrg before a high intensity exercise....you can get the natural high, energy boost and burning that stubborn fat. Enjoy!

Lower the dose and have a coffee, Oct 09, 2007
|
reviewer: Michael from Sydney
|
| I've gone through a few diet supplements, so I figured that the full recommended dose would be good for me. However, popping 3 tabs was tripping me out with nausea and feeling shakey, so went down to one tab with a cup of coffee which seems go give me a nice stable energy level... |

Almost killed me, Aug 16, 2007
|
reviewer: Joe from Alaska
|
| Used it for 5 months, worked out and lost a lot of weight (gave energy to build muscle too), but developed almost a dependancy. That turned into horrible insomnia (not just trouble sleeping, NO SLEEP, for days, and trust me that MESSES you up ) ended up in the hospital, no appetite, paranoid, chest pain, couldn't concentrate, delusional, couldn't control emotions, thought I was losing my mind, VERY VERY VERY scary experience. This happened in the Caribbean, and the doctors gave me such an extreme dose of narcotics (for my nerves and to help me sleep) it almost poisoned me to death. Doctors couldn't figure out the problem, neither could I, lots of tests, went home to Canada, I stopped using xenadrine by this time, suffered from some kind of withdrawal, more insomnia. Whole ordeal lasted a few months. The Lord gave me the strength to get through it, and I did, I'm totally fine now. But I thought I had lost my mind or had some tropical parasite, I realize now it was those "harmless" diet pills. Maybe I wasn't following the directions or taking too many,regardless, they messed me up for a while. |

Made me sick!, May 16, 2007
|
reviewer: Female User from USA
|
I thought I'd try NRG since I experienced great results with EFX with no side effects.
Within hours of consuming the first NRG pill I felt nauseous and disoriented. The next day I took the pill again with similar results.
I threw away the pills and returned to EFX. I guess my experience just shows that individuals respond differently to supplements. |

just drink coffee, Apr 24, 2007
|
reviewer: The truth from San Diego, CA USA
|
| I tried Xenadrine NRG for 2 months. I really stuck to my diet and there was no difference between being on it or not on it other than the fact that it gave me energy in the morning when I took it and throughout the day. I would suggest trying something else because it did not help me to loose the weight. I then went on the HMR diet plan and lost about 1lb every 2 days. So far I have been on it for not even a week and I have already lost 5 lbs. This is something to try, just order them online and pick them up at the nearest store to you. The chocolate shakes are really good and so are the penut butter bars and the chicken soup. I have about 550 calories a day and I feel great! Its a low caloric intake but vitamins come with the packets and you can opt for a higher calorie option as well if needed. |

Not very effective..., Apr 21, 2007
|
reviewer: Walt from Baltimore, Maryland
|
| I tried Xenadrine NRG with poor results. I am a healthy male 6'1" and 230 lbs. My goal was to lose around 25 lbs. Xenadrine NRG is loaded with caffeine, which does provide an energy boost. However, I noticed my appetite INCREASED instead of decreasing. I found myself snacking all day long and well into the night. Needless to say, I didn't lose any weight after finishing the bottle and I won't be buying any more. |

post pregnancy single mother, Apr 18, 2007
|
reviewer: CHRISTIN from ALABAMA USA
|
| I gained 60 lbs during my pregnancy and I tried very hard to lose weight after I gave birth to my daugter. I started taking Xenadrine NRG 8-hour because I remembered taking it in high school and it did not give my any negative side effects. I love the 8-hour. I did not lose any weight but I did maintain a very productive, positive, and energetic state throughout the whole day. I was able to participate in interacting with my family instead of watching tv all day/night. I always felt like going and doing stuff, going to the park, walking the block, etc. As far as weight loss I did not lose but I enjoyed the high energy levels. I recently stopped taking it and I am trying Ripped Fuel ephedra free. |

reviewer: Wendy from Alabama
|
I started using this product about a week ago and have noticed somewhat of a difference. I have not lost any weight but also have not exercised and haven't really changed my diet.
I have noticed that I have more energy and am not starving but I still think about food alot. |

This product is GREAT but not for everyone, Mar 07, 2007
|
reviewer: LaImagen from Texas
|
I really like this product. It has given me results that I personally like (toned arms/abs). If taken correctly (and before your work out) it gives you that extra energy boost. The downside is that it will make you "crash" when the effects go away.
Also, in my case, when I decide to have light workouts (walk in the park with the kids) instead of moderate/intense workouts at the gym my heart rate goes crazy and honestly a bit scary.
Possibly it's just me. Just pay attention to your body and know your limits.

Where is the toilet???, Mar 03, 2007
|
reviewer: Loo-Runner from Hatta
|
Ok, started this yesterday and chose to take only one tablet in case of bad reactions. It was ok, I felt slightly 'floaty' and much less appetite.
This morning I took 1 tablet again and have had urgent bowel movements through the day (hmmm...lets say watery, without getting gross).
I want to continue, I really do. I feel my appetite has been reduced, and I was hoping to go up to 2 or 3 tablets. Anyone with suggestions, please advise. |
