    didnt work for me-just made me nauseaus (sp), shaky, and irritable. Didnt like it at all!
    but then again, my mom used it and it worked great for her-no shakes or stomach troubles, just a few mood swings but nothing serious.

    I took Hydroxycut way back when it had ephedra in it. I dropped weight like crazy. After they changed the formula to whatever it is now, it didn't do a thing for me. Not even a little energy boost. But everyone's different I guess.

    I took the forumula with ephedra in it and dropped 7 pounds in two weeks, but stopped it due to shakiness, extreme nervousness, etc.

    I have never tried speed but Id imagine the feeling I got from hydroxycut would be close. Icky. Youll feel better and better about your self if you find some other way to drop the weight.

    I hate it. I recently bought the new kind, which I assume has no ephedra. It still makes me nervous and shakey, with a rapid heartbeat. I end up skipping workouts because of the heartbeat and not wanting to overdo it and have a heart attack. It sucks, it really did not contribute to a single ounce of weightloss and only set me back all the time I had to skip exercising. Don't waste your money!

    One thing that I've read about online, and tried myself, as a replacement for Hydroxycut with ephedra is the following combination: Vasopro and caffeine pills.

    Note: The following is only my experience, I am not suggesting anyone follow in my footsteps.

    Vasopro is a bronchial dilator available OTC and marketed toward asthma sufferers. It contains 25mcg of ephedrine (the synthetic, more stable version of ephedra) and an expectorant. You can find bottles of 48 tablets online for about $7-9. Caffeine pills are pretty common anywhere and cost about $9-10 for a bottle of 100.

    A serving of Hydroxycut consists of 3 pills, the total dose of which contains 20mcg of ephedra and 200mg caffeine. So, one tablet each of Vasopro and caffeine equals three pills of Hydroxycut. Of course the advantage is that you only have to take two small pills to get the same effect of those three gaggy horse pills, and where Hydroxycut cost about $50 for a 70-serving bottle, you can get 98 servings for about $30 (two bottles of Vasopro plus one of caffeine).

    So, my experience. I am not an asthma sufferer nor one to take pills habitually. I responded well to Hydroxycut though it did give me the jitters and the shakes. When I took the Vasopro and caffeine combination, I felt the same boost in energy and appetite suppression, but no jitters or shakes. The expectorant also allowed me to breathe much more deeply.

    Also, since each single tablet of Vasopro contains as much ephedrine as three tablets of Hydroxycut, and I typically only took one or two tablets, I bought a pill-slicer ($5 at Target) and cut each tablet in half. I took one half in the morning and one in the afternoon.

    So, there you have it. It's a less expensive solution and it gave me fewer side effects than Hydroxycut.

    I just used it for energy at work. I only would take one and I would sweat constantly and as a side effect I guess I did loose a little weight.
