Slim Xtreme - Strange Sides

meow123

New member
I have been experiencing some strange side effects while taking Slim Xtreme: rapid heartbeat, irritability, pain in the left shoulder, extreme thirst, and frequent urination. I even experienced panic attack symtoms when I tried taking 2 pills early on. I take 1 pill/day now, and am not using any other medications. Some of these seem to align with the supplement itself, but also with anxiety and b1 deficiency. Would thiamine supplementation help, or is the supplement just aggrevating anxiety and I should stop taking it? I haven't had problems with anxiety in the past. So far I've tried it for 3 days, then stopped for a few days because of the sides. When I tried again, same thing. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Or can anyone offer some advice?

I can confirm some of the same sides.

However, i am predisposed to anxiety and depression and have taken medication for both in the past, i read the directions and recommendations before taking, i understood that some of the contents might in some cases and depending on my mind-set on any given day, 'enchance' some of my negative side.

It seems though that i have adjusted to the compound (your body is great like that) and now i have very little issues apart form the short temper.

Which is strange because i am more sociable and positive, yet my temper is is ready to go any time.

Muay thai is a great release for that though! Put enough work in with the iron/cardio and you wont have enough left in the tank to get angry :wink1:

Let me tell you, the juice is worth the squeeze with this supp.
 
The anxiety could be very low blood sugar. It is very easy to forget that you haven't eaten hardly any simple sugars. Fruit doesn't really push your blood sugar up too much with a supp like this pulsing through your veins. I am at 3 weeks with SX and the first 10 days I just forgot that I only had a little oatmeal in morning, sweet potatoe at lunch, and 1 apple. Later that day at like 6pm I realized I felt way too intense, my breathing became quick and shallow, a little anxious feeling, just not right. I had been very very active that day. I went back and added up total calories I had eaten during day and I was at about a 1500 calorie deficit from what I was eating before SX. This stuff will not let your blood sugar rise much at all. Don't be afraid of SUGAR. and DO NOT eat anything with sucralose while on this supp in my opinion. It is very important to keep some honey close by so you can squeeze out a 1/2tbsp - full tbsp just when you need it. Your mood will brighten and the supplement works much better. Sucralose is very very sweet and scientists have tested insulin levels after just smelling a no sugar/sucralose only sweetened protein or whatever it is that it's in. And your body will start the release of insulin to prepare for the sugar it thinks your about to eat. But guess what? there's little to no sugar for the insulin to soak up. In my experience this has driven blood sugar very very low a few times(HYPOGLYCEMIA) and it sucks. Also, excess insulin can cause cortisol release. Your body can get very stressed in this state and you haven't been eating much food because your appetite is low and you only eat small meals and not much sugar because it's "BAD". Than adrenaline rises because your body has to put in an emergency state because the supp is demanding energy from your system and it can only draw so much from your fat reserves at one time and your not giving much if any sugar to balance things out. Extreme ketosis while the supp is trying rev the system more. It is not the Slim Extreme's fault. This is easily the best energy,mood,fat loss, you name it, etc.... ever invented in my opinion. All that you have to do with your 5-8 mini meals/snacks you should be eating during your 16 hours while your awake is have like a 1/4 of orange creamsicle power bar( let dissolve in mouth comletely - to nudge your blood sugar up just where you need to ) or a little honey.Just work to find your sweet spot. This supp Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better when I do this. Your body burns fat while putting those little bits of sugar energy in the ATP or whatever you call it process and your way happier, you go to sleep easily and sleep deeper. You don't need much sugar durin the day. And not much at once, like 10grams or if you feel to serioius like 6 hours in to a 12hr SX dose just a tbsp of honey is perfect(let the honey mostly dissolve in your mouth so your brain gets the message - hey he's giving me what I need. YOUR BRAIN HAS TO HAVE SUGAR FOR YOUR SYSTEM TO BE BALANCED-DON'T FORGET THE SUGAR. Slim Extreme's effects catch on fire when you find your protein/fat/carb sweet spot. And it is always relative to your activity level . And drink plenty of purified water. I found that 2SX caps at 7am last me till 7pm and than 1leanfx after 6-7 workout period. And remember if you sleep for 8hrs. that's a long time for body to not have any sugar. Have a 1/4 power bar 45 minutes after SX dose.This supp is incredible just make sure you nail the food right . That's our job. Not the supplemnt's job. You will Shred your body, not just lean up or cut. Sorry for the long post.But I really think that your anxiety, rapid heartbeat is from your blood being waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to thin. Your probably so far away from having any high blood sugar/fat storage problems that you have alot of room to work in some sugar to keep your blood from being to thin, making it flow way to fast and throwing your system out of whack. Sugar is the ONLY way to fix this problem. Please don't blame the SX.Stay away from too much Sucralose and use the real thing that Mother Nature makes. And you will be a happy guy. I did experience what you described and this corrected it perfectly. Thanks if you read the whole thing.
 
I've heard of a few people with similar anxiety issues, but only a very very few. (3 to be exact) Talking things over with Dr. D, we both pretty much feel that if you have a history of anxiety issues and are on medication for it (or were on meds at some point for it), you may have issues with SX or many other stimulants. Ginseng can lead to some relatively nasty sides when combined with anxiety. And of course, if anyone is on any sort of medications, you should always check to see if there are any potential interactions between the supps and meds BEFORE you even order the product.

As for the shoulder pain... I really fail to see where SX could play a role here. Otherwise, I did write a novel in her bb.com post on the subject, as did D and Biceps. Hope she gets it all figured out.
 
Two weeks into SX I was experiencing some wicked anxiety, and I found myself clenching my jaw a lot. Also at about that time work was extremely stressing, so I don't blame SX for the anxiety. It just seemed to exacerbate it. I stopped the SX for about a week, and the crazy anxiety stopped. I still get anxious, but its controllable. After about a week I continued taking SX, and was not experience the same issues. Kinda leads me to think maybe for some, you should cycle off for like one or two days week.

I finished SX yesterday, and think its a great product. I started 3-AD today and got to have my coffee again for like the 1st time in a month.
 
Cycling it for those with these issues would be a good idea.

I want to say thanks to Enigma76 for hitting me up with a PM regarding this thread and my last post where I commented on not seeing relevance with the shoulder pain. "Referred pain" can occur in the body and present itself in manners such as this. To boil it down, if there is damage to one part of the body, particularly the organs, it may present itself in an extremety...eg having pain in the arm and shoulder during cardiac arrest. In relation to her issues, increase BP or stress on the heart may have presented itself in the form of arm pain. While it may have been only a slight elevation and probably not very serious, it still justifies my recommendation (as made on bb.com) to discontinue use of the product and seek medical advice (from a physician and NOT online) if she desired to continue use of the product. Overall, I think it'd be best to just stop and take advantage of the AX guarantee - return the product, get a refund, and come to us if you're interested in anything else.

With my history of anxiety/depression, I was definitely feeling increased anxiety while using SX in the beginning after bumping my dose to 2 caps, but initially like the 1st day or so I was in heaven w/ this stuff as I actually felt much more sociable, energized, and motivated. I found that 2 caps is too much for me in terms of anxiety, even if the doses are spaced out. I usually take an day off during the week and only pop 1 SX upon waking and this has worked well, especially w/ appetite as I often forget to eat while at work. Ive got a sample SX booster that Im hoping will be the sweet spot for me w/ 1 SX.

The wife is already a busy body w/ some anxiety so 1 SX is too much for her, shes only 120 lbs so if there was a half dose option that would likely work better for littlins, but she does like the appetite suppression and energy it provides.
 
Definitely should be a caution mentioned when purchasing SX. I love SX, but wow. I was feeling very anxious and dark at one point. I remember I was driving to work and all of the sudden I starting thinking OMG what if a fire broke out in our condo and our cats were trapped. How could I get to them to rescue them. How crushed I would be if something happened to them. Just some really crazy thoughts. At work I was ready to snap from the stress. I would clench my jaw so much that my teeth would hurt when I chewed. I stopped the SX for two weeks and started taking 5-HTP. I finally was chilling out.

I still would buy SX again. Potent stuff AX, keep up the good work.
 
I think I had the shoulder thing when I took venom, for me it was maybe a trapped nerve or worse knowing my luck a herniated disc, was well painful. Really want to try this slim xtreme though, I'm sure it's not as bad as venom for sides.
 
SX is an awsome product

I must admit i was skeptical, but SX dose what it says im 6'2" 280 + lb and i got the rapid heart beat at 2 caps but other than that no sides but you messing with a powerful stim stuff like that is to be expected just moniter you situation and if its not working for you just dont take it everyone reacts diffrent if we didnt there wouldnt be so many products out there. Its always better to be safe then sorry. I hope you get it figured out
 
Hey Z28man, have your lady try the sx boosters. They are on the ax website thats the only place i have seen them. They seem to be the same ingredents but about 1/3 the dose. She might need 2. You dont have to thank me nething for the ladies.
 
Seems like a lot of bros are having bad sides with this and the energy boost only last like 5 days and tapers off from there.

I would say no. We track all the reviews with sides vs reviews with just positive. Its in the 4% range. That's not a very large number. Many are on their 3rd box, no decline in performance. We can't keep this in stock for a reason. The majority love it.

Its the most powerful yet clean stim on the market. You cannot expect everyone to react the same to it.

Just to help with your percent I have never experienced anything like this, whether that statement is good or bad. When I first ordered my sample pills I loved them, the first one I took I was productive, my appetite was suppressed completely, and had plenty of energy. I ordered a bottle shortly after that. Ive been taking this product now for less than a week and the side effects are clearly coming into play. Once again I have never had a problem with any other supps in the past or taking any other kind of medication. My throat has been swollen and sore, coughing up flem in the morning because I have been breathing so rapid and heavily these last couple days on Slim Xtreme. Anxiety like feelings and behavior, Jaw clinching, and rapid heart beat. Slim Xtreme gave me intense stomach cramps and now when I am on the product it makes me feel completely twacked out like a sketch crackhead for about 10 hours. Appetite suppression doesnt come without a price.

This stuff is amazing!!!

I am on my second box now and at one a day am still experiencing the same results that I did when i first started.

The appetite suppression is for real with the energy keeping you charged up most of the day.

The increased mood and confidence this delivers is unique and the focus and concentration is just fabulous.

I just got my three boxes in and this will keep me going for the next 4-5 months.This will give me unparalleled experiences in body and mind LOL WOOOOO am I loving this stuff or what....U bet!!!!

Sorry to hear about the experience thus far. Forgive me for saying it this way, but I am finding it a bit odd to experience all of those side effects despite not having any at all with the sample pack. The products are absolutely the same, so the reaction should also be the same. Would you be brewing a cold or something? I had very similar symptoms over the last week (except for the stomach, jaw and heart rate) and it was a bit of a cold mixed with seasonal allergies. I, too, am taking SX at 2/day alongside LeanFX and the occasional SX Booster on longer days, but am feeling nothing that I'd consider a negative side effect. That's not to say it isn't possible, it's just a bit different and we're always willing to explore the possibilities with you so that you are more comfortable with what is going on. Any past issues with anxiety that might have crept back? Any prescription meds right now or in the past that might be relevant, or seemingly irrelevant?

Thanks for the feedback! We really do enjoy hearing all types of feedback, and take it all into consideration. Glad you like SX and are running along with it!
 
I haven't had side effects at all, and I'm going on my second bottle at 1 per day w/ amazing weight loss and no decline in appetite suppression.

If you're experiencing a particularly stressful time in your life, this product, like ANY powerful stimulant, will exacerbate a stress response. A typical stress response elevates pulse rate/blood pressure, gastrointestinal distress, and elevates cortisol and adrenaline. Factor in a powerful stimulant and you're bound to experience undue stress above what you would experience by either factor individually.

Maybe take it w/ a full meal, instead of on an empty stomach, as well as seek medical guidance if issues continue to manifest themselves.
 
I didnt really have sides untill i hit 2 pills but i only had a sample and i think some kava kava i had that day produced the side effects kava can act like an maio

without the kava and 1 pill this was awsome i loved the hunger crushing effects and it did give me energy and a happy feeling with the 2 pills it was still good just a slightly faster than i wanted heart rate
 
What exactly are you suppose to feel?
I took the samples 1 a day and didn't feel anything???
Maybe I needed two being #220 / 6'4" ?
I don't need app. suppression. I want fat to roll off.

How would this be coupled with DCP ?
