Nana~ 4 Posted July 31, 2006 Has anyone tried this stuff any of it? Are we allowed to take it post banding? I've read people asking about diet pills and such. I'm wanting to take it for the energy. If you've tried it and like it what of the products did you try? Hated it? what did you try? Never tried stacker 2? What do you recommend? I'm on a quest! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poodles 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Have heard that it is just caffene that gives you the boost. Have some teenagers that have been on this and it makes them shake really bad. Also hear it raises blood pressure. I use B Complex for energy. That should help if that is all you are looking for. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tricia K. 0 Posted August 1, 2006 I recommend against it due to the possible side-effects to your heart. After talking to my doctor about it several years ago, I tossed the rest of the bottle I had with me in the trash - - right there in her office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ariel 1 Posted August 1, 2006 Nana none of those diet pills work if they did we would not have to have the lap band. If you need an energy boost try something made for energy as it will most likely work better and cost less. Good luck on your quest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathi 0 Posted August 1, 2006 Well, I have a different opinion with over the counter diet pills (I did the prescription ones too).... I took MANY for appetite control / energy and I really liked to boost they gave me. I am normally a pretty hyper active person, so it just enhanced what I was already doing and helped with the hunger issues to some extent. I STRONGLY suggest to you that you monitor your blood pressure religiously while taking any uppers. I did, and never had an elevated one that is why my Dr never had issues prescribing me the "good" stuff. BTW... I took the Stacker 2 & 3.... They helped with energy only, but the best over the counter one I found is one that I bought online called "Thermadrol".... I would take it now, but I could never get one through my band. I don't even want to try it! Maybe I should empty the capsule into a Protein Shake and give it a whirl??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bettina 0 Posted August 1, 2006 People have died from the effect Stacker 2 has done to them, don't even think about it!! I am certified in Sports Nutrition and thought I knew it all, even researched it.....what I didn't know was...Proprietary Blend!!! Proprietary blend...is the ingredients and how they are blended...what they dont' tell you is that you may get a pill with 3 mils of caffeine and the next one might have 11 mils of caffeine.......I learned this the hard way (passing out driving on the Parkway in the rain).............I took diet pills many times in the past, but knowing what I know now, it totally is not worth it!!! Please don't take them...I want you to live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
