i took my first one yesterday. as far as energy...i didn't really feel much different. actually i felt more tired than usual. but i don't know. i don't really care about having energy. i just want to lose weight. but last night i also had a little tummy ache. felt kind of like menstrual cramps, not too bad. but i'm also doing just 2 pills a day becuz i'm a little sensitive to the caffeine. maybe i'll start taking 2 at a time in a week or two. i'll let you all know how it goes. i want to lose about 50 pounds.

Ok so all these side effect are real. I'd honestly like to say that this is a real diet pill, but how i lost weight was much of a blur. In senior year of high school I was 5'4'' and 180lbs I started taking these pills and started skating. I would basically starve myself and most of the day I'd be in a semi mentally-lost state. In-short when I stopped taking the pills I was about 160.



Im not sure if I lost that much weight because I was WAY overweight or because of the pills and my diet. But IF my case I lost about 20 pounds in three weeks and its stayed off for the most part, but its really unhealthy and dangerous so BE CAREFUL. ALWAYS TAKE LESS THAN TWO AT A TIME!!!!

ok!!! So I took the pill yesterday and I did feel kinda of weird. I noticed that I had so much more energy. I definitly noticed the decrease in appetite. Normally when I get home from work I go straight to the kitchen and munch away. Yesterday evening I did nothing but laundry, cleaning and did not thing of food at all. I did have a little tummy ache, but thats about it. NO CRAVINGS and no thoughts of eating! I love it so far! I fell asleep at about 10:00pm and had a wonderful nights sleep. No jitters just energy! This morning I came to work and weighed myself and I am now at 167. even. I also took 1 pill. I figure I strt out slow and not get carried away. Maybe it's water retention I have lost.... I quite don't know but so far so good. I will check in soon and hope for the best! Thanks for the great support! Good Luck everone!

I have been researching this product for a while and when i finally have enough money to go out and buy this product i did. I sat in my walgreens for almost an hour reading everything about this product and over looking the side effects and compared them to the other pills on the shelf. I am the type of person that can loose about 10-15 on my own and then cant go any further and i have been trying for years, i took my weight today and i currently weigh about 162.3 lb my goal, i would like to be about 120 lb. i'm young and I'm tired of being being this weight size. i don't look like i am 162 and i know a lot of this is because of my muscles but i want a smaller weight size and actually wanted to feel comfortable in a bathing suit at the beach, plus i have my college graduation and i just want to knock peoples socks off with the way i look, but anyways so i started taking them and honestly i wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I would like to if the people who took this pills actually had some of the side effects listed, such as a rapid heart beat, dizziness, headaches, or anything more extreme then the following?
because I did and i was only on my 2nd day, i took 2 pills before i ate at work and then an hour later my heart was pumping and i couldn't breathe and almost passed out. my vision went blurry and i was sweating. I got sent home from work and the moment i fell asleep, my breathing was deep and I wasn't getting enough air. I know it was only 2 days but honestly i was so scared and i will not resort to these pills ever again!

I just took Akavar for my first time about 2 hours ago...so i took my pills and waited 15 minutes to eat..and when my food was hot and sitting right in front of me, i didn't want the food at all. I ended up staring at it and eventually putting it back in the fridge. I have absolutley zero appetitte. I have a feeling i'll be losing weight :)

im about 5'6 and i weigh about 180 and i want to lose 20 pounds. so i guess we will see!

Started a couple of days ago (3/5) around 930pm. I work graveyard and, that first night, took only one pill and i was super wired the whole night. I stock freight at a large production grocery store and my job is very active. I haven't had so much energy in a while. I definitely don't look at food the same way as I have in the past, I'm not hungry most of the day and eat because I need to. I know that may seem kind of bad, but usually, I kinda eat constantly, snacking and such. My job, being high energy, calls for me to be able to provide burnable fuel and so I wasn't worried about it, til recently. I know I'm overweight (195lbs - 5'5") but I know that in general I am pretty healthy. (There's got to be some muscle in there. :P). Lately though, with the cold weather, I'm not as active outside of work and constantly snack while at home, causing me to gain 10-15lbs, which put me at this weight. I kinda feel like I should be eating all the time, like usual, but I never really feel hungry, just have the urge to eat. Anyway, I know this is becoming a huge post, so to end it I'll just say that, I usually am tired all the time, and yet since taking the pills I have more energy when not working and am not tired all the time. Seems good to me. Oh yeah, and besides being wired and not wanting to eat, :P I haven't seen any other side effects.

I just started 3 days ago. First day spent alot of time in the bathroom. But, now things are going good. I have a shirt that I just tried on over the week-end and couldn't button. I will be back in a week to let you know if I can button it yet. Haven't got on a scale yet but, will. Good luck everyone.

I only started taking this yesterday, so I'll repost a week or so from now with more. I am taking 4 a day. You MUST drink a full glass of water and must wait 15 minutes before eating. Instructions are there for a reason. I was so wired yesterday I wanted to bounce through the walls. After breakfast, I didn't feel hungry for a whole eight hours. In fact, the entire day the thought of food made me feel a bit sick and I really didn't want anything at all. I weight myself this morning, and I am down 3 pounds. You MUST weight yourself the same exact time every morning for the most consistent results, because your wait will fluctuate a pound or two throughout the day. I weight consistently the same though every morning around 11:00 a.m., but today I weight 3 pounds less. Could just be water weight as diet pills tend to do that, but I am down from 199 to 196 regardless and I had to force myself to eat my morning because food just looks nasty. I did have a very slight headache and feel a bit of an anxious feeling constantly while on this pill, but that is the effect of an excessive amount of caffeine/xanthine. Its not horrible and I can ignore it pretty easily. I did have some stomach upset this morning and my tummy gurgled and carried on with noises and stuff all night long and I had some gas. Besides that, the side effects are none and it is very easy to deal with unless you are sensitive to caffeine, which I am not really. I DO exercise, but not a whole lot. I'll play dance dance revolution for 30 minutes at least 5 days a week on medium difficulty. Everyone needs to exercise to keep your muscles, your heart, and your lungs happy. Even if you are skinny, your muscles, heart, and lungs can be weak and unhappy. You'll live longer and healthier if you give them a work and strengthen them. ddr is fun and you often forget it is exercise, plus it has a workout mode where it counts calories or time played. The calorie counter seems to overestimate actual calories burned, but its nice anyways. There are like at least 10 different version of the game with 70-100 songs on each disk and the older ones are pretty cheap, so you can switch out disks if you get tired of the same songs or you don't like the songs on one of the games. I also have a treadmill that I try to use at least three times a week for 20-40 minutes a day at 3 mph, or I'll go somewhere like the mall where I know I have to walk but will enjoy myself while doing it. DO exercise. Doesn't have to be hard, but get your heart rate up at least a little. Its good for you and will make Akavar work even better. If you lift WEIGHTS, you will probably GAIN weight because you are gaining muscle. Don't blame the pill. Look to how your clothes fit and how your body looks and take measurements with a tape measurer instead of weighing yourself if you are strength training/ weighlifting allot instead.

It seems (by reading all the feedback) that Akavar is best used as a diet supplement, not that "be all end all miracle drug"----It helps control hunger, it makes you feel full so you won't overeat, and it gives you some extra energy. It's like having some much needed help to anyone's diet regime. Find your correct dose, and make it work for you! Whether you have 100 lbs to lose or 15! Let's hear some more interesting diet stories. Has anyone ever read Shape Magazine? They always havimonies as part of their regular feature. It's so motivating!
