weight loss supplements+alcohol

[doustin]

Hello I recently stopped taking the supplement Xenadrine. While I was taking it I would go out on the weekends and drink beer it seemed like before I took the Xenadrine my tolerance was much higher for alcohol and I had never blacked out before. There was a couple instances were I blacked out and I was wondering if it was the combination of Xenadrine and alcohol so I quit using it and I haven't since. I know its a stimulant while alcohol is a depressant but the bottle doesn't indicate any issues with alcohol is it coincidence or is there a medical reason for this thanks in advance for your responses.

I'd say it would depend on the amount of alcohol you drank, but some of the ingredients may have reacted with the alcohol.

Here's a tidbit I found that you might be interested in:

It says "there's no medical research to support claims that Xenadrine RFA-1 is effective for weight loss or reducing body fat."

Thanks for your response no I wouldn't pass out completely but I would have little to no recollection after a certain point of the evening I was wondering if others have had similar issues or if it was something else at the time.

I'm not real clear on your term "black out"; are you passing out completely?

While it's never a good idea to drink alcohol with some supplements, there are other things that could have caused you to black out and you should get checked out by a doctor.
