- Satisfactory 4/26/2007 I started taking Zantrex-3 four days ago. I haven't noticed any side effects. I take 2 in the morning and 2 at lunch time and drink plenty of water with them. I hope I lose weight. I am going to try to take 2 extra at dinner time and see what happens. Tracy Gibraltar |

- Satisfactory 4/25/2007 Today was my first day on Zantrex-3. I started with only one pill for the day (lunch). I also drank a lot of water with the pill and throughout the day. I did notice, however, the jitters that people wrote about (only for 10 minutes max, but then again, I'm not much of a coffee or soda drinker). I plan to take two pills total tomorrow (1 lunch, 1 dinner). I'm looking forward to my future results. I recommend like the others to start off with a low dosage. Anonymous Long Beach, CA USA |

- Very Good4/6/2007 I am 44 years old, 6'3" and started out at 227 lbs. Today I am 207. I've been taking Zantrex-3 for three weeks now. I don't take the recommended dosage though. I start work at 6:00 AM, take two capsules and drink two big glasses of water. Then at around 6:30 I drink a SlimFast shake. The energy is awesome! I used to be tired in the morning, but now I have lots of energy. Around noon I eat an energy bar, that's it. I do a lot of walking on my job, so that gives me exercise. I drink lots of water too. Then, at around 5:30pm, I take two more pills (total of 4 per day), that gets me ready for dinner. My appetite (which used to be HUGE) has dwindled to that of my 14 year old daughter! It is really amazing. I've lost 20 lbs! I do feel a bit anxious sometimes. I think my temper is shorter. I also got a staph infection on a skin fold of my thumb nail. The doctor said my imune system may be weakened. Anonymous Coconut Creek, FL USA |

- Fair3/30/2007 Zantrex-3 was my first diet pill ever, and I hated it. I tried it for a week, but stopped. Because it made me feel like I had overdose on caffeine - allowing me to become jittery and shaky all the time. Plus I could not sleep late at night. Though, I have lost around 2 pounds over the past month, I doubt that it is from this product. Jat San Jose, CA USA |

- Very Good 3/29/2007 A few weeks back, I took 2 Zantrex-3 pills prior to a meal (because that is the recommended dosage) and my skin started burning from the Niacin... this lasted about 10 minutes and then it was over. I now take one pill twice daily... sometimes before meals and sometimes after a meal. It seems to have the same effect on me as Ephedra based diet pills. Melanie Madison, WI USA |

- Not My Favorite 3/28/2007 Zantrex-3 was one of the worst diet pills I have ever tried. I heard great things about it, so I decided to give it a go. The side effects were horrible. I was always shaking and my heart beat was extremely fast. I felt nauseous about 30 minutes after I took each pill, and got sick every time I ate. I started off with just taking one pill instead of the recommended 2 pills so my body could adjust. It did not help at all. I could only handle trying it for 2 weeks and decided it was not worth putting my body through that. Anonymous Medford, OR USA |

- Very Good 3/15/2007 I had started to use Zantrez back in February. I had to stop because I got scared on the 2nd day I used it. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. I was very dissapointed because I have never really had any reactions when taking any type of supplement. I started again this past Monday, only this time I started taking one pill only 15 minutes before lunch. I've been feeling great! Today, i thought " Why not take it in the AM and see what happens?" I guess I didnt have much of a good breakfast meal, because I started to feel real sick around lunch time. I experienced flu like symptoms and diarrhea. I had to leave work and come home to sleep. I plan to keep on one pill a day like I started on monday. I havent seen any change yet in scale but I feel lighter and I'm not hungry at all. I do crave some foods, but its not like I'll eat it if I had it infront of me. It's a real weird feeling. I plan to finish this bottle and see how it goes. Once the bottle is done, I might go into something else... depending on the outcome! A.G Miami, FL USA |

- Satisfactory 3/14/2007 It's my third day with Zantrex-3 and the first 2 days I took 2 pills before every meal and I must say that I thought I was gonna die. I got very dizzy and my heart rate went up and I almost couldn't stand on my feet. Today I started with one pill and I feel a lot better. So I recommend that you should start with one pill and see how your body reacts to Zantrex. Anonymous Sweden |

- I Love It3/11/2007 I have taken Zantrex-3 for almost a year now, and lost over 70 lbs in the first six months. I was 242 when I started taking them and was not into exercising, so I started to walk for a mile or two for the first two weeks and each day weighed myself and I couldn't believe how quickly the weight was coming off. The feelings you get from taking it the first time seem overwhelming, as with any pills, but subside, and subside even quicker if performing some kind of exercise. Anyway, I am now at 163 lbs, am still exercising, full of energy, and still taking Zantrex, although more for the energy, because I actually have definition and tone to my body (something, I never had, nor ever believed I could have). No six pack, but since all I do is jog, I was told it would be almost impossible to get one (I cannot stand to do push ups or sit ups). By the way, I am 35 years old, in case any middle aged men think that it is too late to try to lose weight. Jay Columbus, OH USA |

- Satisfactory 3/10/2007 I've been using Zantrex 3 for about a week, taking 1 pill before breakfast & lunch. The energy boost that it gives me is amazing and I haven't experienced any side effects. However, even though I don't really feel hungry, I don't feel full either & I still have cravings for certain foods. I have worked out everyday this week & I have lost 2 lbs. I plan to up the dosage to 1 1/2 next week & see if the effects are enhanced. Nicole South Carolina United States |

- I Love It 3/8/2007 I lost 50 pounds using Zantrex-3. I admit the first time I took it, I was buzzing around like crazy. It actually made me sick to sit still - I had to keep moving. Therefore, I learned not to follow the directions on the bottle. I took one pill in the morning, that was it. After a while, I started taking two in the morning. You should always start with the bare minimum when taking any diet pill, just to see what effect it has on you. I do not drink caffeine (nothing but water) so I took that into consideration when I started taking this and took a lower dosage than the bottle recommended. As for over the counter diet supplements, Zantrex-3 is the best out there! Trish Ohio United States |

- Not My Favorite 3/5/2007 I took Zantrex-3 for 2 days. By midnight the 2nd day my heart was beating uncontrollably, I was shaking so much I couldn't hold anything, my head was swimming and spinning out of control and I became very sick. The pills do curb your appetite and make you very thirsty, however, the other side effects that almost took my life made me discontinue us of the pills. I strongly advise anyone thinking of using these pills for any reason, to consider other options. Julie Parrish Rock Hill, SC USA |

- Very Good 3/2/2007 I started taking Zantrex 3 about 2 days ago. Of course, I did my research before even cracking the bottle. I noticed that a lot of people had very negative side effects from this product, so I was cautious. I decided to take 1 pill with twice the amount of water it suggested. I did feel slightly nervous, but it gave me a great jumpstart to my day (5:30 AM start that morning). My job entails walking around all day, so I definitely used the extra energy. Other than that I had no headaches, no nausea, no cramping. If you do want to try this, I really suggest making sure you're not allergic to anything in this product beforehand. Also, drink a ton of water. Try to have some way to burn the energy off. Don't take this product if you have a desk job. You'll feel like a cat in a cage. Meg British Columbia Canada |

- Not My Favorite 2/27/2007 I would not advise anyone to take this. I had the worst experience ever with Zantrex. I took one a day for 2 days, and had nausea, and heart palpitations. Then I took 2 a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. It hit me in the middle of the night, I thought I was having a heart attack. I couldn't breathe, had chills, my heart was beating so hard and fast, it was up in my throat area. I had to call 911, and they rushed me to the ER. They had to give me an IV to slow down my heart. By the way, I was only about 20 lbs overweight, with no heart problems, or health problems, until I used Zantrex. Even the hospital advised me not to use diet aids like these. Anonymous Texas USA |

I took it around 12:30. Around 5:30 I started to have nausea and a bit later I felt my heart pounding really fast. I felt a tingling and burning sensation in my left arm, which went away an hour later. I slept great! Today I took only 1 pill 15 minutes before lunch, and the only thing I have experienced is a little bit of cramping on my chest. A.G. Miami, FL USA |

- Not My Favorite 2/21/2007 I took Zantrex and probably had the worst side effects possible. First of all I went exactly by the directions. I took two for a "boost of energy" and about 45 minutes later I began to feel extremely hot and nervous and was unable to calm myself down. I fainted. For several hours straight I felt like I was on some kind of illegal drug. I felt like I had to control my own breathing. It was hard to concentrate. My heart rate felt extremely high. I felt itchy and like I wanted to go to sleep, but felt like my eyes would never shut. Everyone seems to have different side effects but I would not suggest Zantrex-3 unless you are very overweight with no heart problems (so that your body fat will absorb every bit of the pill) or if you would not mind these side effects.

- Satisfactory 2/19/2007 I just started taking Zantrex-3 two days ago. The first day, I started off taking 1/2 dose before lunch and dinner with no caffeine-induced side effects. Yesterday, I took the full dose before lunch and dinner and was up all night! I looked up the caffeine dosage. Found that one dose (2 pills) is equal to 6 cokes. So, I basically had 12 cokes in a 6 hour period. I highly recommend taking only 1/2 the dose and drinking lots of water! Brooke Houston, TX United States |

- Not My Favorite 2/2/2007 I have been taking Zantrex 3 for two days. The first day I took it, it was great because I had the best energy - I thought that I was on cloud 9. The side effects were bad, but I didn't want to quit taking it because I thought that they would go away. So I took them again the next day and I still had side effects, but even worse - headaches, bodyaches, chills all over, and dizzyness. I recommend that you don't take Zantrex-3, but if you still want to take them, check with your doctor first. Angela Kent, OH USA |

- Very Good 1/29/2007 I have been taking Zantrex-3 for a little over two weeks. I had jitters the first day, but I haven't since. I take 6 a day, and drink eight 16 oz. bottles of water a day. I have noticed a significant difference. Pants that didn't fit before now slip on easily. I have also lost 12 lbs, and my friends have noticed! I don't think it's for everyone, but it's definately for me. I got it at Wal-Mart for twenty bucks, so it's been very good for the price! Overall: A great diet helper for some, not for others. May experience mild jitters at first. Inexpensive, and works well. Rolland Kirby Sumner, GA USA |

I was shaky, sweaty, nervous, my heart was racing and beating hard, and I had many panic attacks. I didn’t sleep for 24 hours. I was hospitalized and put on medication to get my heart back into rhythm. And I only took it for one day. Morgan Ohio United States |

- Satisfactory 1/9/2007 I started taking Zantrex a week and a half ago. I notice a huge difference in my clothes - they feel loose. There's not much of a change on the scale as yet, but that will come. I can only take 1 serving early in the morning, as I started out taking the full serving, and needed to stop for a few days. I do experience feeling jittery, but I have also lost weight / inches. I was also eating meal replacement shakes with it as well, and I'm hardly hungry. I can barely tolerate the side effects that come with it, though, so when I am done with this bottle, I won't buy it again, but I will finish the bottle I have now as people close to me are just starting to mention a noticeable weight loss w/me. I've done very little exercise. Tonya Ontario Canada |

- Satisfactory 1/7/2007 I have been using Zantrex-3 off and on for about 3 months. While it doesn't seem to suppress my appetite, it does give tons of energy, which helps out with my workout routine (1 hr, every other day). The side effects are pretty bad to start out with (flushed face, jitters, and loss of sleep), but what do you expect? It's mostly caffeine and Ginseng with niacin. One pill prior to each meal works great for me. Anonymous North Carolina United States |

- Satisfactory 12/28/2006 When I first did my research on Zantrex-3, I was worried about it from all the bad feedback it was getting. Having never done this before, and to have all my family relations (some of which were doctors) advise against it, I was really worried about the side effects... regardless I went ahead with it anyway. So far I've gone through half a bottle following the recommended dosage and I must admit I do have increased energy. I've lost 4 kg so far, but being halfway through the bottle I did expect greater results. I am happy to say, however, that I haven't experienced any of the side effects mentioned by other users of Zantrex-3. Only once when I didn't take it with food did I get a feeling of nausea, which is common with any strong medication. Overall, an "ok" rating. I probably won't take anymore after this bottle however.

- Satisfactory 11/13/2006 I have been using Zantrex-3 for a while now, and while I have experienced some of the side effects, this pill has worked for me. I have experienced the jitters, nausea, redness/hotness/swelling of the skin in my face/elbows/arms, but have also lost weight. If you haven't taken this before, start out slowly instead of rushing into the full dose to see how your body reacts and in order to avoid severe side effects & panic if you do have a negative reaction. Eating healthy & exercise only increases the weight loss - but whatever you do make sure to drink plenty of water when taking this pill! Anonymous Virginia USA |

- Very Good 10/31/2006 I started straight away taking two zantrex-3 twice a day (4 a day total). I noticed great boost in energy and a decrease in my appetite. I did have trouble breathing (shortness of breath) once or twice when I first started taking it, but I don't experience that anymore. I experienced headaches and nauseau sometimes, but I didn't attribute this to Zantrex-3, although it's highly likely that that was the cause. If I drink a lot of water that doesn't seem to be a problem, though. I'm prone to anxiety attacks anyway, and I did become emotional at times - sometimes nervous and occasionally feelings of euphoria. These symptoms were all very minimal though and did not cause any change in my day to day life. The only side effect that became a problem was insomnia, but really all these side effects are a small thing when compared to reaching my goal. Weight-wise, I noticed a difference nearly immediately! I actually love Zantrex-3 and plan to continue taking it and I would definetely purchase it again. It's the most effective diet pill that I've ever taken. Melpo North Carolina USA |

- Very Good 10/2/2006 I have been taking Zantrex 3 for about three weeks, and I have lost 9 pounds. I experienced slight redness, but after the first week it went away. The key to this product is exercise, it will not work without it. I see people taking this product and getting discouraged - maybe it does not work for everyone, but I do feel the additional energy, and I also feel the lack of energy when I come down from this. I love to take two tablets before a meal, then eat, and after about an hour head for the gym. The point is it is an addition to working out, and not a substitute for working out. Use it to your advantage, but also mention it to your doctor. William Washington, DC USA |

- Not My Favorite 9/28/2006 In my opinion Zantrex 3 is a waste. I only had 15 pounds I wanted to lose and needed an extra boost. The third day brought on serious side effects. It started with redness, swelling, and a burning/tingling sensation in my hands and an increased heartrate. I didn't make the connection to the pill at first. After the next dose when the reaction spread all the way up my arms and I felt like I was on fire, I went to the hospital and spent the next 2 days on heart monitors and medications. My blood pressure went up to 210/140 and I've never had any problems before. My heart rate was well over 200 bpm and I had trouble breathing. It's a miracle I didn't have a massive heart attack. I'd used other diet pills before and never had any trouble. I tossed this stuff in the trash! Anonymous Ohio USA |

- Satisfactory 9/26/2006 I don't need Zantrex-3 to lose weight; I work in a restaurant and wanted it for an energy boost. I bought it because I've heard of it before, which I equated with good results. I took two with the cup of coffee I was already drinking and I think it did give me the energy I needed to work. It also supressed my appetite (which I didn't want). For an occasional short-term pick me up, it wouldnt be so bad. I am confident that it should be alright as an energy booster when I really need it, if im super tired and need to go to work and be full of energy. Cynde Canada |

- Satisfactory 9/19/2006 I've been taking Zantrex-3 for 3 days. Reading all the reviews, I was very hesitant to start off taking 2 pills, so I started off with taking 1 pill in the morning, right before my breakfast, along with a very large glass of water. I continue to drink water throughout my day as well. I haven't experienced one single bad reaction. No jitters, no heart rate increase, no additional urination, no extra energy, nothing! I've always eaten regular meals, and although I've noticed I'm not as hungry anymore, it doesn't mean that I'm supposed to skip meals. Today I decided to go ahead and take a 2nd pill in the early afternoon. It initially gave me a very slight headache, but again, no additional side effects. I do feel a bit more alert, but wonder if that is simply because I think this pill is doing something! I will continue to take Zantrex-3 as directed (2 pills) starting tomorrow and then report back!

- I Love It 9/14/2006 Zantrex 3 has worked great for me with no negative side effects. The jitters that other people are experiencing may be an exagerated version of the energy boosts that Zantrex 3 gives me. My heart does beat a little faster and I may be more prone to slight anxiety, but all of these symptoms lead to a more active me. Not only does it make me feel energized and supress my appetite, but it also enhances my mood. That may be a natural affect of the happiness I get from the weight loss.

- Very Good 8/11/2006 I started taking Zantrex-3 yesterday. I took one pill in the morning before breakfast and then one fifteen minutes before dinner. I didn't feel sick at all but was a bit anxious. Let me tell you that I was energized until 2 am and I woke up at 5:30 ready for anything. I am not feeling as hungry as usual either, which is great. I am a coffee drinker and for this reason I thought two pills a day was not going to work, but I was wrong. I am glad I started slowly. Maybe they work for me because I have never taken any kind of diet pills. I suggest you start with one until you see how your body reacts to it. Dawn Pennsylvania USA |

- Very Good 8/2/2006 Just wanted to explain... those of you who experience rash/flush and itching, that is a niacin flush. You can take Zantrex with a glass of milk to prevent the reaction and or take a seperate calcium supplement at the same time as the Zantrex. The calcium has a chemical componant to it that helps keep the niacin from reacting like that, if it really bothers you. It isn't anything bad, though. Ann USA |

- Very Good 7/27/2006 I don't know what's physically wrong with the folks who have reported severe and strange symptoms because I haven't experienced any. I do not own scales, so I am just relying on my reflection in the mirror, as well as how my clothes are fitting me. So far, my appetite at meals has been decreased, which can only lead to desired weight loss. I don't plan on being on this stuff "forever" due to such high levels of stimulants. I suffer from IBS and this has not been affected negatively at all. In fact, I am more "regular" and haven't had any urgency problems (I was concerned the caffeine would stimulate the need for the restroom). I have experienced a diuretic effect, but that could be due to all of the water I am not accustomed to consuming throughout the day. Anonymous Newark, OH USA |

- Very Good 7/20/2006 I've been taking Zantrex for about a week now. I am definitely a coffee person, so I didn't expect to feel very jittery or anxious. I had decided the first day to take 2 pills without food since I just needed the energy boost. That was my big mistake. My body felt like it was shaking on the inside. I also had cold sweats and felt anxious. I took 2 more that night before dinner and didn't have any of the jitters that I had that morning. It took me a couple days but I finally figured out the dosing that I needed to feel good. I take 2 before meals, and only 1 when I'm not going to be eating and that seems to help with the jitters and cold sweat. Kristen Bloomington, IL USA |

I took 2 pills this afternoon and felt fine. Later I felt wired, but good. My respiratory rate increased and my heart was beating irregularly, but still I felt okay. I haven't had any nausea. The main thing I have noticed is that I am urinating a lot and that is making me feel less bloated. I will try one pill tomorrow and see how I feel. I am a registered nurse, so I know what to be cautious of with this product. So far I think I spent my money wisely. Armida Hollingsworth Location Withheld |

- Not My Favorite 7/10/2006 I started taking Zantrex 3 on June 30th it is now July 10th and I have lost about 5 lbs. I felt fine the first 3 days of taking it - just a little jittery and anxious, but I had quite the scare about a week ago. I suddenly became very hot, my arms, face, elbows, knees, backs of my legs and up my neck all turned bright red and I was starting to get hives. I took 2 benadryl quickly and in 2 mins it was gone. One thing I have observes is that this happens only if I take this pill in the morning. Later in the afternoon I don't get these nasty side affects, still jittery and anxious, though. I'm going to try to finish the bottle, I'm getting married next Saturday and want to look the best I can in the dress but I will stop them afterwards, as it isn't worth the pain of losing a few pounds.

- I Love It 6/7/2006 I've used Zantrex-3 for about three months now. I'm not a coffee person so I just take 1 pill a day - usually in the morning. I start feeling energetic 30 minutes after taking it. The only other pill that I've tried before is Hydroxycut. I like Zantrex better because it really gives me the energy that I need to survive a 9 hour work shift. And even after that, I still have a lot of energy left to work out. I try to work out at least three times a week and since I've started using the product, I've noticed that I have more drive and energy to work out. I try not to take more than one pill everyday because it gives me too much energy and it makes me feel more nervous than usual... I don't know if it's just me, but sometimes taking one pill each day isn't enough anymore... maybe my body is getting used to it. Anonymous Berrien Springs, MI USA |

- Not My Favorite 5/30/2006 I really wanted to review Zantrex because it has made me feel terrible and I wanted to warn people who are thinking about getting it. I started working out and dieting for 2 weeks after stopping antidepressants which made me gain a lot of weight. I wasn't having any results, so I decided on Zantrex for help. This is only the second day I have taken it. I haven't experienced any of the nausea, but I have been itchy all over. The first day I took it I went to work out about 2 or so hours after taking one pill. I was so short of breath I had to take 4 rests during an hour workout on an elliptical trainer. Usually I can go all the way through the workout with no rests or 1 just to get some water. The whole rest of the day I couldn't breathe properly. The next day (today) I took 1 pill and felt the same shortness of breath. I decided to do tae bo, and it was close to impossible to keep going. I was having a lot of problems breathing, and started to panic. I had to calm myself down and tell myself to just breathe. The whole rest of today I have been breathing abnormally as well. Its hard to get a breath. Both days I also totally crashed about 6 or 7 hours after taking a pill. It felt like someone gave me a sleeping pill. I am not sensitive to stimulants - I drink tons of pop and coffee on a regular basis (I didn't while taking the pills, though). I also had trouble falling asleep. Anonymous Location Withheld |

- Very Good 5/27/2006 Hey, I've been taking Zantrex for about a week and I've had really good results. What I will tell people is that if you take the full dose you'll be up ALL NIGHT. I take one pill before each meal and it's worked super for me. Make sure you drink lots of water all day and improve your overall lifestyle and it'll be exactly what it's meant to be. A "supplement". This isn't a miracle pill, but it will kick start your health overhaul and keep you focused on your long term goals. Anonymous Location Withheld |

- Not My Favorite 5/25/2006 I wouldn't recommend Zantrex-3 to anyone! The first day I took only two in the morning, and I felt fine all day, just a little jittery. The next day I took 4 (2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon) and I spent the rest of the day in a cold sweat, jittery, having panic attacks and throwing up until the early morning. Everything I tried to eat or drink to try and flush it out of my system, wouldn't stay down. I didn't take it for a couple days and was constantly tired and grumpy. I started taking it again today and only took 2 to see if it was just the dosage, and I feel sick again. I'm weak, jittery, have a rapid heart beat, cold sweat and feel like im going to throw up but I can't. I took it over 12 hours ago and I am still feeling sick. I also haven't lost any weight, I've actually gained 2 pounds. I am strongly against this product! Anonymous Location Withheld |

- I Love It 5/16/2006 I love Zantrex 3! I used it along with exercise two years ago and lost 16 lbs. I gained all 16 lbs back, but started working out again at the beginning of this year and was not losing any weight... After pondering what I did different 2 years ago, I remembered that I had used Zantrex 3 and decided to try it again. I have been back on Zantrex 3 for about 3 1/2 weeks now, and have lost 7 lbs... without working out. Here I was thinking that it was the working out that caused me to lose so much weight so quickly when it was the Zantrex 3 the whole time. It will probably be a necessity for the rest of my life, with a couple of months break every now and then. Tina Hershner Location Withheld |

I now run every morning and bike every evening about 3 miles - and dont feel worn out or tired when I'm done. I haven't had any side effects at all, but I'm used to caffeine and did drink coffee many times throughout the day. I love it. Yhis is the only diet pill I have tried that actually works for me.

I really like how this pill makes me feel now after adjusting the dose and making sure that I eat along with taking it.

At first I was real anxious and nervous, and was real snippy towards people. I didn't notice much the first 2 weeks, but by the third week the weight just literally fell off.

- Not My Favorite 4/9/2006 No amount of weight loss is worth what I have gone through today. I took 2 Zantrex 3 pills, as the directions indicated. Within 10 minutes, my body became hot, and I felt faint. As each minute went by, my body developed hives all over. My face was bright red. My blood pressure and heart beat went up considerably and I thought I might die. I felt like I might have a stroke or heart attack. My husband drove me to urgent care. I had to be treated with Xanax, Benedryl and and an IV anti-inflammatory. I was crying and shaking. I had to have cold towels and ice packs to lessen the burning over my head, face and neck. After the reversal medications began working, I then got the chills and had to be changed out of my wet clothes and covered with blankets. Thankfully, the medications worked within an hour and I was allowed to go home. I have felt jittery, with rapid heartbeat and otherwise uncomfortable the remainder of the day.

- Not My Favorite 2/28/2006 I had used Zantrex-3 for 2 months going through 2 bottles with pretty good results (I was also dieting and exercising). I had run out and went about 2 weeks without taking it, then bought 2 more bottles. I took 2 with lunch with no problem (and when I had taken it before, I had no ill effects). I later took 2 pills and packed the kids up to go to dinner. We got to the restaurant and after three bites of my dinner I started to feel really naseaus, and like my skin was on fire. I looked down, and my whole body was bright red, and I was getting the shakes and feeling like I was going to pass out. I immediately went home and called my sister to come over. By the time she arrived, my throat was swelling up and I had to call 911. They had to give me a shot of epinepherine because I went into anaphylactic shock (a severe allergic reaction). My heart raced in the range of 110-220 beats per minute for 3 days, and I was hospitalized for 2 days. I have had a constant headache for the almost 2 months since then, and now get migraine attacks.

- Satisfactory 1/17/2006 I've been taking Zantrex 3 for 17 days (since the new year) and I've already lost around 14 pounds. Now, when I try something I go all the way and I tried Zantrex before reading any reviews. First I cut out all unhealthy foods and ate very little then I took two pills with meals and 1-2 more between meals, because the bottle said that you can take it just for energy... big mistake! I have lost a lot of weight but with a lot of suffering. If you take more than one with a meal or one or more without a meal you are doomed to feel horrible. So I cut it down to one pill, twice a day, with meals and I stopped losing weight. I started out at 215 and now I'm 201 lbs. I skipped yesturday and crashed today. Big headache and very sluggish. So be careful - this stuff is strong. My suggestion is to mix it up and don't shock your body. Play around with the dosage to see how you feel. But remember, if you take on an empty stomach you will lose weight but you will feel horrible. Good luck and be careful! Melanie Sorrell Location Withheld |

Here's my experience with Zantrex- it worked very well for about 3 months then I started to get super tired, my heart raced in the middle of the night for no apparent reason, and because I was completley exhausted when not taking it I ate more than I normally would. I used to take two before workouts every day and over a year gained 10 pounds. This stuff does not work! As soon as I stopped taking it I dropped the 10 pounds plus 5 additional pounds in three months, working out and eating right the natural way! That's what I recommend. Anonymous Location Withheld |

- I Love It 12/1/2005 Zantrex-3 is, by far, my favorite diet pill. I lost 20 pounds in 3 months on it (165 to 145 on a 5'4" small frame) about a year ago along with eating very sensibly and walking for half an hour every other day. And now I'm back on it to lose 20 more! Word of warning - from experience - though the caffeine can do a lot for you (increase energy, sex drive, and digestive flow, it can really mess with your heart! I started getting very excitable after a few months of being on this (and taking up to 6 pills a day). My heart would start palpitating when I would get nervous, or scared. It says on the bottle, "For temporary use only", which means don't stay on it ALL the time! Make sure you go off of this for a month or so after being on it for three months or more. It will help increase your weight loss because your body won't become so used to all the caffeine! Anonymous Location Withheld |

- I Love It 11/5/2005 I, too, was sceptical to try Zantrex-3, but I was glad I did. I have been taking it for 4 days now and have already lost 4 lbs. After reading the reviews, many have complained about the "flushing" and nausea feeling. The flushing is from taking Niacin which is in this product. Niacin is a vitamin and helps with lowering cholesterol. If you experience the flushing, take an aspirin 30 minutes before taking Zantrex 3. This will stop the flushing and even help with the headaches. I started slow by taking only one tablet a day. I am now only taking 3 tablets a day, one before each meal, and it works great. I no longer experience the flush or light-headedness as I did the first day. I feel great and can't wait to reach my goal in weight loss. Remember, use your head. If treat your symptoms and your body will get used to it and rid itself from the side effects. Carol Victor Location Withheld |

- Not My Favorite 9/12/2005 I have taken this product off and on for about 2 months now. I am unable to finish the bottle because I don’t like the way it makes me feel. I took it again this morning, hoping for a better experience, with no such luck. Although I took one pill over 4 hours ago, I am still feeling strong negative side effects. I had to cut my 45 minute cardio workout to just 20 minutes because I felt very nauseous and still feel like throwing up, but cant. My heart is pumping fast and I feel very jittery and anxious. It does suppress your appetite because your body is going through such a negative reaction that there is no way you want to put anything inside it. I am even having a hard time drinking water trying to flush my system from it. By the way, I have tried several similar products and this one has the worst side effects. If you are looking for a product that enhances your healthy lifestyle, this is definitely not it. I do not feel healthy at all right now. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. Mimi T.

- Not My Favorite 7/5/2005 I didn't lose any weight while using Zantrex combined with exercise. It gave me a headache and sharp heart pains. If you want to use a product that really works, I suggest Lipovarin. I've been using Lipovarin now for a month combined with exercise & have lost 10 pounds! Anonymous Dedham, MA USA |

- Satisfactory 6/22/2005 Update from Renee, May 26, 2005: I have lost 9 more pounds, so a total of 14 since May. At first all the symptoms still occured even when I was taking 1 pill a day, in the morning. I continued taking it anyway and they started going away. Once my body got used to the Zantrex, I had no more side effects. I am moving up to 1 capsule in the morning and one at night. I think if it's a gradual thing it will be ok. I had stopped going to the gym altogether after the recent loss of my car and I found I lost more with Zantrex without exercising, because I was putting on too much muscle.

- Fair 6/22/2005 I decided to take Zantrex-3 in order to lose a few extra pounds. To begin, I took 2 capsules and then ate a small yogurt, which proved to be a bad idea. I felt extremely sick afterwards and had terrible acid reflux. The only way I got to sleep that night was with excessive alcohol. Keep in mind I am not caffeine sensitive. I also broke out into a skin rash and was incredibly itchy all over. I was taking 4 a day for 3 days and then realized that I had to cut it out completely. It was making me depressed and emotional and I constantly wanted to throw up. The only thing it did was make me feel guilty about eating. I did shed 3 pounds in a day, but I think its because I was so sick I didn't eat. Anonymous Location Withheld |

- Satisfactory 6/11/2005 I started by taking 2 Zantrex 3 pills, 2 times a day. I was nauseated and certainly didn't feel like eating anything at all. Day 2 I decided not to take any. On the third day I took 1 tablet before breakfast and that's how it has stayed. With that dose, I have no side effects at all. I'm certainly not dieting, just eating as normal and I haven't started exercising yet, but i plan to... smile. After 2 weeks of 1 tablet before breakfast, no diet and no exercise, I have lost a total of 3.8 kg (8 pounds). In 2 weeks! I think thats pretty good... smile. I would recommend Zantrex-3 to my friends, but just 1 pill per day. Anonymous Australia |

- Not My Favorite 5/26/2005 I have been taking Zantrex-3 for one week. At first when I read everyone's reviews I thought the same things wouldn't happen to me, but within 10 minutes of taking the pills, each time, I immediately get dizzy, my heart races and it's hard for me to breathe. All day I feel like I can't breathe and I have to think about how to breathe right again, because my chest hurts. I have to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes and I am starving all the time, but yet when I eat I get full really fast. Along with the horrible headaches and heartburn, my stomach hurts. But I am going to give it another week, because maybe these affects are because it's new to my system, So far Ive lost 5 pounds in 5 days... Renee Elderd Location Withheld |

- Not My Favorite 5/12/2005 This is my second day taking Zantrex 3™. I take 2 tablets a day, before lunch. I have been feeling a bit nauseated and my vision is not so clear. Maybe this is the effects of the caffeine, as I'm not used to it. Hopefully it will get better in the next few days and I hope it is worth it to go through these symptoms.

- Satisfactory 5/9/2005 On the first day I tried Zantrex 3™ (taking 1 pill before breakfast and 1 before lunch) I felt grumpy and had a slight headache. I had more energy on the second day but still a headache. I took a break from the pills yesterday and am back on them today - and I feel really good. No headaches and I have energy, although I do have diahrrea. I will start taking 2 before breakfast and another 1 before lunch tomorrow. I don't think I have lost any weight yet - but hopefully soon.

- Fair 4/25/2005 I'm not sure how I feel right now, but I am not a coffee person. I am really jittery. I do have a lot of energy. And I have 3 kids, so I need energy. This is only my first day. I took 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills before dinner. I will take another 1 or 2 pills tomorrow. Overall I think it is an okay pill. Again this is my first time take this pill. I don't really have a bad thought about Zantrex 3, but if you are not used to taking diet pills, please don't take more than two pill a day until you get used to it.

- Not My Favorite 4/15/2005 With Zantrex-3 combined with an exercise and diet program I lost 20lbs in 2 months. It was the most horrible three months of my life. My anxiety level was at an all time high. I felt like everything was dark and negative, even if it wasn't. I had the worst tremors. I had diarrhea and nausea all the time. I ignored all these red flags even when my friends and family noticed the difference in my behavior. I finally threw away the pills when my husband confronted me. He couldn't understand why I've changed my behavior negatively. When I called Zantrex directly, the customer service person admitted that he have received similar complaints, he even told me to just stop using it. I lost the weight... but was it Zantrex? Or my diet and exercise program? Lori Brown Location Withheld |

- Not My Favorite 4/12/2005 I did lose weight on this product (about 10lbs in three weeks), but the horrible side effects were not worth it. I actually threw out the bottle before finishing it. I'm 21 and I was only taking two tablets a day. After taking this, I would immediately experience shakiness and shortness of breath, along with stomach aches and headaches. I felt extremely lightheaded, and at times thought I would actually faint. This would last for over five hours at times. I also had a lot of problems in the bathroom area using this product, including itchiness and extreme discomfort. I also had constant fever blisters during use. The last straw was when I actually threw up and seriously considered going to the hospital along with finding blood in my stool. Anonymous Location Withheld |

I tried taking 2 at once and had the biggest headache of my life!! I thought my brain was going to break through my skull! Just taking 1 tablet, 3 times a day works perfectly for me and I'm not hungry at all or craving for sweet things like I used to. It makes it really easy sticking to a healthy eating plan and exercise. I love this product! Anonymous Rowville, VIC Australia |

- Not My Favorite 3/29/2005 I wanted to lose about 20 pounds, and was hoping that taking Zantrex-3, along with diet and exercise, would help take the weight off faster. After I took the first dose at breakfast, I felt a little light-headed and unfocused, but I told myself I'd feel better once my body got used to it. After the second dose at lunch, I felt a little queasy but still convinced myself to push through it and give my body time to adjust. After the third dose at dinner, I felt so bad I had to go lie down and focus very hard on not vomiting. Nevertheless, I continued taking the Zantrex doses faithfully for two more days, even though I felt continually worse, convinced that once my system adjusted I would feel better. But after dinner on day three, I spent two hours in the bathroom, alternately vomiting up all my food and lying in a fetal position on the floor. As soon as I could stand up, I threw the Zantrex in the garbage. Anonymous Watertown, NY USA |

- Not My Favorite 3/28/2005 I am 44 and wanted to lose 15 pounds. I saw Zantrex 3 in a magazine ad and decided to try it. The first 3 days I took 1 pill twice a day with a big glass of water and ate 20 minutes later, as recommended. I did not rush into it after reading the reviews. It did reduce my appetite but also made me feel nauseous. I lost 2-3 pounds but felt extremely hungry at the end of the 3rd day. So the 4th day I took 2 pills. I had an extremely bad reaction. After about 10 minutes my skin swelled up and turned very red. I felt a huge surge of sweat come out of me. My throat closed up. I felt as though I wanted to vomit but could not. I had very bad diarrhea. I had to lie on the floor for 1/2 hour. I felt ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE for the next 2 hours. It was very frightening. My legs were shaking and my teeth chattering. I had read the reviews and started slow and didn't fear a reaction after taking it for 3 days already but it did happen. I would not recommend this product to anyone. I am not allergic to anything and am in very good health and my reaction was so scary. I have thrown the bottle out and will never take it again. Anonymous Location Withheld |

- Satisfactory 3/23/2005 Yesterday was my first day of trying Zantrex 3. I took 2 pills as the dosage says in the morning and wow, I got an incredible boost of energy within half an hour. I did not want to overdo it the first day so I only took one in the afternoon, before my workout, and again I felt a great energy rush. I do not intend to weigh myself for about 2 weeks, so hopefully I will see some improvement by then. Thank God, I did not or have not experienced any of the symptoms as many other users have. I did get some jitters but I am assumming it is because of the caffeine. So far, so good, I guess I won't have any other positive things to post until I see some results.

- Very Good 3/17/2005 So far so good. I read the other reviews before trying Zantrex 3 myself. I would start with 1 capsule before meals, with a huge glass of water. About 15 minutes after I took the first capsule I had a huge hot flush, where I just steamed. It lasted about 5 minutes and then I had a shorter one about 10 minutes later. The next time I took, there were no problems. It hasn't made me feel sick, keeps me slightly more energized, and I still sleep well. I awoke early feeling great - so lets hope i get the weight loss as well! Anonymous Location Withheld |

- Not My Favorite 3/7/2005 The Good: -There was extreme weightloss. -There was abundant amounts of energy. -Increased mental alertness. -It did knock out what little depression I had. It was not uncommon to be in unusual states of euphoria. -Appetite was supressed. The Bad: -Headaches (mostly in beginning) -Agitation like you wouldnt believe (went away after getting use to it) -Insomnia. Thats what boundless energy will do. -higher blood pressure and heart rate. -unusual stool (traces of what looked like blood at one point or another) I lost over 5lbs in the first week, but I have decided to discontinue use... I feel the risks outweigh the benefits. Anonymous Location Withheld |

- Very Good 2/23/2005 I bought Zantrex-3 and have been using it for approximately 3 months. I generally take one per day, in the morning, with lots of water. And I'll take another with water shortly before a big meal if I am dining out! I have endless energy during the day, but not that buzzy kind of energy, just a constant energy. I have lost 14 kgs without even trying... and am still losing. I am looking and feeling better than ever. My skin is lovely and clear, and I am sleeping well, so Zantrex-3 isn't keeping me awake at night. My kids tell me I look younger than I did 10 years ago! I recommend Zantrex completely - It works!

- Very Good 2/11/2005 I started off only taking one Zantrex 3™ pill a day and then increased from there. I wanted to make sure my body could get used to it in a slow and less shocking way. I like it a lot though. I don't feel sick or crazy like some of the other posts I saw. I do shake my legs while sitting, but that is about it. My hunger has decreased and I have a lot more energy.

- Very Good 2/6/2005 I'm 24, and had gain a some weight after getting an office job. I did not believe in taking diet pills. I thought by just eating healthy, and working out you could lose weight. I had been working out for 4 months, 4 times a week with no significant weight loss. I felt my body had reached a plateau. I got a little desperate and decided to take Zantrex-3. I've been taking it for a week and a half... and I have to say it really works! I've lost 4 lbs and don't have the sugar cravings I had before. However, you have to be careful with it. Take moderate doses, and take it before you work out, like I do. It gives me the extra boost to really get an effective work out. The only bad side effect thus far, is that I am super anxious sometimes... almost like I'm on the verge of a panic attack. But that was when I was taking 2 pills. I've decrease |
