I started taking Stacker 2's. These don't have ephedra in them. I was wondering if anyone else takes them. I swiped this partially filled bottle from my sister's room, so I didn't buy them. Do you have to be 18? How long did you take them? Are they addictive?
Just a few q's I wanted to know before I took them for a prolonged amout of time and ended up getting sick.

They're a waste of money, don't work and are usually bad for you in some way.
My friend took some for ages and they did nothing for her but made her need the toilet lots as she had to drink 8 pints of water a day with them.
Apparently it does shift a bit of weight for a lot of people, but I can't stress enough that you shouldn't be taking diet pills. It's not necessary and is a bit ridiculous anyway as they won't make you lose weight much faster than you would with a good diet and some exercise. Hardly worth the risk is it? Seemingly easy ways out are never so.
If you need diet/exercise advice then I'm sure there are many people who will be more than willing and able to dispense it to you, myself included.
yes. diet pills are not good :no:
And they're especially not good when you're 15...:o
Basically Stackers are an appetite suppresant, not a miracle fat-burner. However, maybe that's exactly what you're looking for though. It's good that it's motivating you to be more active, as that's what will get (and keep) the weight off in the long-term.
Glad to hear it's ephedra free anyway, that's some nasty stuff.
The ones that work have varients of amphetamine in them, the higher up the chain of amphetamine type drugs the more effective. However, this comes at a higher and higher cost. Speak to any ex-amphetamine user and they will tell you, the addiction is hard and heavy.
The bunk ones with have things like caffine or gauranna in, which although wont do you any serious harm, arent worth the money.
Eating less and exercising more is the only long term way of loosing weight.
"Not for use by individuals under the age of 18" Intended for use by healthy adults".
Taking more than the recommended serving may result in heart attack, stroke, seizure or death. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you have high blood pressure, heart or thyroid disease, diabetes, difficulty urinating, prostate enlargement, or glaucoma, or are using any prescription drug. Do not use if you are taking a MAO inhibitor or any allergy, asthma, or cold medication containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine. Discontinue use if dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, or nausea occurs.
BE VERY CAREFUL putting these kinds of chemicals in your body, it is far, far better to just exercise and eat healthily. You should not be taking these if you are 15.
Take a lookie at this feature on diet pills - I think you'll agree that they aren't a good idea.
Instead concentrate on a balanced diet and regular exercise and you'll be fine. Boring advice, but the best, I'm afriad!
:eek2:
Ha! I showed her.
