Question: What Are The Side Effects Of Hydroxycut?
I am interesting in loosing weight and have heard wonderful things about hydroxycut. I'm curious to know if there are any side effects like a racing heartbeat, mitral valve prolapse, kidney or liver damage. Does this supplement interact negatively with other medications and has it been approved by the FDA?
Answer #1
I took Hydroxycut for three weeks and I experienced some fairly serious side effects. My far-sighted vision became blurred after abut a week on Hydroxycut which was enough to convince me to stop taking it. The other side effect I experienced was a sudden outbreak of acne on my back and chest, which was another reason I decided to discontinue the product. A friend of mine experienced sleepless nights for 2-3 nights even after he discontinued the supplement. My sleep patterns went from a good 8 hrs of sleep to constant dreams which would wake me up throughout the night. My experience was not a good one with this product.
Answer #2
I have been taking hydroxycut for about a month now. I have not
experienced the acne problems or extreme restlessness like the other
reviewer. I have, however, gained some lean muscle while shedding
the excess weight. I am down to 6.5 percent body fat now, and I
believe that the hydroxycut, along with meal replacement drinks,
has treated me right. Any side effects including restlessness and
fast heart beat are due to the stimulant which is found in the product.
Lessen the dosage and it should subside.
Answer #3
I have been taking hydroxycut with a low fat diet and exercise. I have lost 15 pounds, and the only side effect I have had are a few pimples on my chest. I find this product to work, but I do not suggest taking the product while on other meds. You should ask your doctor.
Answer #4
I have been using hydroxycut on and off for about 2 years. I believe it works, but I am now getting nervous about the side effects. I now have a heart murmur and the acne I get when taking this is very noticeable. Not like normal acne, but water boils. I feel my heart racing and sometimes feel my muscles in my jaw are weak and numb. May stop and see if side effects stop.
Answer #5
I 've used the hydroxycut for 2 month's and I felt pretty good! I got to where I was exercising more, and even feeling better about myself. I could see the difference. My shorts wore loser. And since I was doing exercises, my legs were getting muscles and even family and friends had notice. But they also noticed that I was getting a lot of headaches. So I had to stop taking them. So far, it looks like that may be my side effect from the hydroxycut. I am going to wait to see if they will go away. But I haven't given up on exercising and I will try something else.
Answer #6
I've been taking Hydroxycut for one week and am impressed with it's performance. I'm doing the "Well 4 Life" weight loss program, but taking Hydroxycut on the sly to accelerate my fat loss.
There is a learning curve to using it. Don't take it 4-6 hours
before bedtime as it can hurt your ability to fall asleep unless
you do some sort of exertion first. It made me lightheaded the
first two days, but I attribute that to my low initial tolerance
of caffeine (I never drink coffee, sodas, etc.) and my prior knowledge
that allergy medicines do make me lightheaded. This has since
passed as my system acclimated. I am losing 5 lbs./week currently,
but that is with strict diet and lots of walking (not so much
weight training in my case). I'm only dropping 40 pounds, but
I believe the accelerated loss helps me mentally to stay on my
diet as I learn to eat better, which will allow me to maintain
my weight when I reach my goal without using Hydroxycut any longer.
