Consumer Review: I Stopped Taking Hydroxycut When I Developed A Severe Rash On My Neck And Eyelids.
The first 2 days on hydroxycut I didn't sleep, even at 2 tablets. I had the jitters, sweating, loss of appetite. After 2 months on the stuff I got up to 8 tablets per day. I felt OK and could get used to the sweating and jitters. I've been lifting weights for 23 years and this was a chance for me to get ripped to shreds. I did lose additional fat and I was pleased with the results--until now.
I have developed this severe rash on the side of my neck and eyelids. It looks like a 3rd degree burn--red and purple in color, skin bubbling and flaking and pealing off. I've been to my doctor twice and tried all kinds of lotions. He really didn't know what was causing it. It wasn't getting better. My eyelids are just about bleeding and I can't rub my eyes. So now I'm off to a skin specialist for treatment.
The stuff works, but I guess it's not for me. I don't know how much more damage I could have done to my insides, but if I didn't get the rash I would be still taking them (good thing for the rash, after reading all these posts I'd probably would have killed myself). GNC can't even keep it on the shelves. I hope a lot more people who are on the stuff also read these posts. This is serious stuff.
