slim xtreme too strong

I just got my first bottle of slim xtreme a couple of days ago and wanted to try it out so badly that I couldn't wait because of all the good reviews I've read. I've been on EC off and on for about 3-4 years now and have not found anything comparable until now. I did my last dose of EC(25mg alkaloids/200mg) on friday and started sx on saturday. I have to admit that sx works great as an appetite suppressant and for energy but I feel that it's a bit strong for me. I took one pill on saturday, took a break on sunday(still felt the effects of the appetite suppressant) and took one on monday(feel kinda weird, not like my normal self). My question is this: would taking the booster instead of the sx be a better fit for me?(I guess I'm looking for maybe half the dose of one pill of the sx) I want the same energy and appetite suppressant qualities but not quite as strong. any recommendations? or would another pill be better suited for me? (the whole reason for me switching off of the EC was to give my body a break from the ephedra. I just assumed that any other weight loss supplement without ephedra would be perfectly safe to take and wouldn't be as strong, I guess I was mistaken.)
 
Hey there. First off, SX takes a few days to get used to. For some people it can feel to strong and cause some insomnia, etc. It should have had an insert guide in the box that explains this. The key is sticking with it for the first week. Your body will adjust after a few days. Now if you are feeling weird after a few days....it may not be for you.

Second, no the boosters will not do much without SX in your system. It may feel about as strong as a cup of coffee and a little appetite suppression that lasts 3 or so hours. They were really not designed to take without SX.

Hope that helps.
 
thanks for responding but let me ask you this: is there something else that you could recommend that's a little weaker than sx? like I said, I wouldn't mind half the dose of one sx pill.

To be honest, there are no other stimulants on the market that compare to Slim Xtreme. It's really in a league of its own. I would either try splitting the powder in half for the first few days, or as bigsmith said, ride it out for the first few days because your body should adjust to it by that time.

SX boosters will not replace the feeling of SX
 
Of course, just will kick in faster w/o the capsule waiting to breakdown. Just so u know I have done it before, not an issue. I would never recommend something I have never tried first, give it a shot.
 
A quick look at the ingredients .. it contains a new synthetic B1 vitamin, Aneurin DBE™...

It looks to be coming out in a few other products (Stimulant X). Looks good, looks very good indeed.
 
Oh wait hang on.. its got aniracetam in it.

Right this is a potent racetam (nootropic agent). It doesn't have any major side-effects associated with it and it is expensive. Its fat soluable (what a useless piece of information!). To find it in a stack is good news indeed. Basically its around 4-fold more potent than piracetam. This stuff shouldn't be taken in excess (unlike piracetam).

The other stuff you are taking will act synergistically with aniracetam. So its cholinergenic agents particularly. That sort of thing. That is what is going on there.

This is an impressive stack....

Stimulant X is a bit confusing because the key ingredient seems to be missing ... bizzare.

Anyway if you check my thread on "a summary of numerous nootropic agents" or what ever its called, its of some help.

I know aniracetam was on the supplement list but I didn't know it was in a stack. I'd like to know how much of this stuff there is in there any hitting 400mg per capsule then its a snip at the price. 800mg is a standard dose.

Wow what a find! I was going to let the nootropic thread get buried but I'll think I'll revive and post a list of synergistic nootropics.

Again if you know how much aniracetam there is in it, please post
 
Believe it or not, the racetam isn't a major player in the formula at all. The actual contents of it, as with all the other ingredients, is undefined due to it being a proprietary blend. (Means to keep competition from copying it.) That particular ingredient is pretty much a non-issue compared to the rest of the "stack", as you put it.

To the OP: If you are finding 1 cap of SX too strong, there are a few tricks that can help. As BigSmith mentioned, giving it a few days at that potency will enable your body to get used to it. In actuality, you won't get used to SX as you would ephedra or caffeine, but you will get used to the effect is has on you and any potential changes in sleeping patterns that may result. Trust me, the majority of SX users do sleep a bit less, but feel refreshed and recharged when the sun comes back up. :)

If you need to decrease the dose, you could open the cap up. I don't know how badly it would taste, but I assume it wouldn't be filet mignon with wild mushroom au jus. A better idea would be to actually dose it whole WITH food. A meal will cut down the speed and amount of absorption. A few have tried it this way already and it has worked out for them. It's worth noting.

In the end, if after a week or so you are not able to handle it, then it just may not be for you. SX is widely underestimated, partly our fault as the claims that we make about its potency are pretty extravagant. But those claims are exactly what people are noting and telling us that they experience over and over and over and over again. It's different, that's for sure.

Keep us posted on how everything turns out. If you need us, we're always here for you. :cheers:
 
You could always buy some empty capsules and load your own dose size!
 
Well if thats confirmed the product is extraordinary. I'll need to check it out because that is a strong racetam.

BTW what are you 'boosting' it with? I'll keep the questions rolling here.

that's exactly what I was thinking. actually this morning at 6:30am I opened up the capsule and halved it and put half back into the capsule and took that, I was a little nervous just taking the powder straight. so far I can still feel the effects of the pill as if I took a whole one(wow this stuff is pretty powerful, my body usually can handle pretty tough stuff but this pill is in a league of it's own) I would only get this effect with ephedra when first starting then after a few days the effects would lessen to the point where it felt as if I took nothing. BTW you guys are great, very supportive, thanks!!!!! I will definitely keep you guys posted.
 
I hope it's strong. I'm the type that can eat until I feel like I will pop and still be hungry 30 minutes later.

Even though protein is supposed to satisfy you longer...uh uh...I can eat chicken breast all day long and never feel "full".

So I really hope this kills appetite like it's reported to.

And I'll be stacking with Primordial's Fat Loss stack as well, so hopefully I can do a 1-2 knockout combo to the 20-25 extra lbs on my belly. :)

Whatever you do start with 1 capsule. It works really well for appetite control. I'm going to follow one of the reps advice and dose with food because this stuff just never wears off for me. lol

Try SX solo before stacking it with another fat loss stack.

The mood effect SX has on me personally, is damn near pharmaceutical in potency.

I'm thinking that "not feeling like yourself" is due to not weening off of caffeine. You should take a few weeks off between stimulants imo.

Thanks. Many thanks.

Choosing between the 3 products and why is the next question, Slim, Xtreme and Stimulant-X.
Click to expand...

How does Slim Xtreme (SX) differ from Stimulant-X?

SX and Stimulant-X are two different and unique formulas that have different effects. The power of SX comes from our unique timed release Aneurin DBE. A unique form of Geranium Oil isolate and a different cast of supporting ingredients fuel Stimulant-X. The best way to describe SX is a mega dose of feel good and appetite suppression. Stimulant-X on the other hand is an innovative stimulant that gives you a solid boost of raw energy for 6-8 hours. SX however, lasts for a full 12 hours, which is plenty of time to be bursting with that feel-good energy to not only get you through your work day, but to also give you that energy you need to work out either before or after work, to have the energy to spend with family and friends after work, and to do everything you need to do in your day without being worn down from your 8 hour work day. SX will also provide stronger appetite suppressing and mood enhancing properties for you! So if you’re like most people who need to work hard yet also want the energy to play hard too in the same day, SX is the winner. If you are looking for something purely to take pre-workout to crank up your intensity, Stimulant-X would be the better choice.
 
Okay thanks, so Stimulant-X doesn't have the B1-analogue? If thats the case I understand the difference.

The difference therefore is Slim FX against Slim Xtreme. If I can understand this I think I have a reasonable understanding of the products. One forum member was combining Slim FX with Xtreme.... a good idea?
 
Too strong in what way? too much energy? too much appetite suppressant? too strong that you're getting ill side effects?

You mean Lean-FX I believe. Lean-FX is a cortisol reducing non-stimulant based fat loss product. Ideally it is stacked with Slim Xtreme for the ultimate in fat loss.

So in a nutshell Lean-FX is not stimulant bases and contains a very very small amount of Adbe to help suppress appetite a bit. It is also not time released. They are very different products.

Ah..... okay one of my favourite subjects. Thanks - that makes sense*.

So how is Lean-FX capping the cortisol response? That might not be a fair question... but lets take phosphatylserine I dunno how it works but that has a good track record of capping cortisol. A better question is how are you so certain that Lean-FX is performing? Is it adaptogen based, i.e. trying to maintain homeostasis? That sort of thing.

With Xtreme I can see that a new B1-analogue can have real energy boosting capacity based on the previous B1-analogue (oh its late and I can't remember its name!). In drug development what you can do it take a known compound and improve its sterochemistry to be more efficient, or perhaps in this case add co-factors (co-enzymes) that sort of thing. With cortisol capping its a big unknown. In fact I'm not even sure if anyone knows how adaptogens work.

The bottom line is if a stimulant is this strong you'll need something to hold your body together otherwise cortisol will just run wild.

* Basically if you're boosting through strong stimulants you've got to be really carefully. With caffeine you're okay because the body develops a rapid tolerance (addiction in this case). If you're body can't do this it gets over stimulated for long periods and thats bad news. The cortisol response will block test production (flight or fight response) and thats no good to anyone.

LOL! No, I had typed up a response to you, but for whatever reason my post was pending for X # of minutes. In the meantime, BigSmith was able to make a post and answer your questions, so I just deleted mine :)

I think you should definitely check out our product guide on Lean FX. There are so many intricate and unique dimensions to cortisol control with Lean FX that it is beyond the scope of a post.

I was skeptical about Slim Xtreme, but bought a bottle based on the user reviews. And wow, the appetite suppression is amazing, lasting longer than 12 hours for me. This would be the perfect supplement to take on a low carb diet (particularly the first few days).

Thanks for the great feedback :) Very happy to hear you enjoy Slim Xtreme! I practically have to remind myself to eat. I'll catch myself going 4-5 hours without thinking about food, and then I'm like "Oh hey, I should probably eat!" LOL! It really is on a whole new level.

The appetite suppression is definitely strong. I've used it on a low carb diet before and it really does work wonders for killing those cravings
 
I'm glad it curbs appetite so well...I was going to try Velocity and that will certainly help...usually I'm a eating machine!
 
I do not write on the boards much but i read and are on them everyday. I have a very bad stomach and I am very sensitive to stims. SX works very well for me took me a week to get used to but throughout the day i feel somewhat lightheaded. Im not sure what this is from though. I would let your body adjust to it. This is the only stim I ever could handle. I may look into the Lean FX well see. Any thought of the lightheadedness Biceps? please inquire. Thanks guys.
 
i think really what it boils down to is that for several years now companies out there have been so quick to make sure they have a fat burner/energy pill out there that they have all basically created the same thing- a decent product, works ok, but none really stand out from the rest. now, here comes SX, something totally new and fresh, and lives up to all the hype: a potent fat burner, truly effective appetite suppressant, enhances mood and the ability to focus- all while providing 12+ hours of clean, constant, jittery free energy. and people are actually feeling what a true product of this nature is supposed to do. SX is definitely strong, where many people have been taking 2,3,4+ of other products, only one capsule of SX is needed. it's funny that some are saying it's too strong- if it didn't have the obvious clear cut advantage and wasn't clearly head and shoulders above the rest of the fat burners out there, SX would be getting blasted as being weak, average, and just another fat burner flooding the market.. which is CLEARLY not the case..

Thanks for this. I need to buy and try against PAS. Glad you didn't load it with hordenine and PEA. Really hate it when they do that.

too strong what?

i took one at 10 a.m. for the first time and 1:00 p.m took a nap

definitely not too strong energy

i'll have to see about the appetite suppressant

maybe i just need to add more caffeine...it only has 100mg after all and i'm definitely use to more than that
 
Does anyone have a soft copy of the insert guide that comes in the box? I ordered mine via reseller, and all I got was a bottle, no insert & no sample booster.. I would greatly appreciatei it - Thx!! :You_Rock_Emoticon:
 
It shouldn't, if you notice something let us know... I would think it would only help the appetite suppressant qualities of SX haha

Sure. The lightheadedness could be from a lack of carb intake. The appetite suppression in SX is so strong that many times I have to remind myself to eat. When I don't eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours, I get light headed by nature. So, definitely make sure that you are at least nibbling on something throughout the day, taking in carbs consistently every 2.5 to 3 hours.

Also, increase your water intake too. I get light headed when I don't drink enough water, even when I'm not on SX.

A more consistent intake of small amounts of carbs + more water should fix that right up for you :)

It could. In general though, the vaso-constriction that nicotene intake causes I imagine would not work well with SX. Nicotene too has a stimulatory effect to it. We know that Caffeine heightens the effects of SX. Cigarettes and nicotene though, I'd recommend against with SX.

In fact, all of our product guides can be found there.
 
I got mine Thursday. I wasn't planning on starting until Monday but went ahead and started yesterday morning.

WOW.

The appetite suppression is something else! As I mention before, I am a CONSTANT eater. I can eat a full meal and be ready to pop and be hungry 30 minutes later. On this stuff? uh-uh. The opposite. My belly is growling and I don't feel like eating. I made myself eat and even then I only ate 1/2 of what I made....usually I would eat not only it but get seconds!

Amazing....absolutely amazing.... :006:

Glad the initial dose lived up to the hype :) Lots of users say "They need to remember to eat", myself included :D Definitely keep us posted on your results!
 
People certainly aren't lying about this product.

I've been up til 5am every day and wake up a few hours later with no groggyness. I've had about 4-5 meals in the last 3 days & I simply have no desire to eat. I have used a number of AX products in the past and I have faith in the safety of the product but honestly, this surpasses methamphetamines for me, which is a little scary. Take that as you will!
