weight loss side effects

by bigmomma867, Feb 01, 2007 12:00AM
I am planning on taking the Cylaris pill , but I am wondering about possible side effects, I used to take Xenical and it caused me to have greasy spools frequent diarhhea and occasional gresy spotting on my under things, it was quite embarrasing at times. I would to hear if anyone has encoutered this while using Cylaris.

I need to lose around 55 lbs. I have an exercise plan and everything just nned a boost.

Hi today is March 5. I went to walmart to purchase cylaris, I dont know it I will have any side effects but I will keep you posted. My weight for today is 220. I will keep you posted on my success, side effects, or whatever will happen. Wish me luck.

I've been taking Cylaris for 7 days now and I've gone from 221 to 215. I haven't felt any jitters or anything like you feel sometimes with diet pills. I am not hungry and I am trying to cut down on snacks. I'll keep you posted...

I have been taking it for 5days.  No bathroom trouble.  I started getting a headache though when I bumped it up to two tabs twice a day.  But, I am not taking them correctly.  I am not drinking 8-12 oz of water with them and have not increased my water intake. I also still drink two 6oz cups of coffee in the morning.  And, I read to take the tabs immediately before eating....I have not done that either.  So, I think my headaches are caused by my lack of following instructions.

I have lost two pounds in 5 days and have not been exercising or changing my diet.  I know, defeats the purpose.  But as far as side effects go:  No jitters, no shaking, no trouble falling asleep, in fact, I sleep better!  I take the second dose around 1 or 2 so there is no issue with the caffeine in the system at bed time.  I only have experienced the headache...that turned to a migraine last night, but I blame myself.  We need to be responsible for ourselves and not abuse anything.

I can say, my metabolism seems higher and I LOVE that!  I used to be sluggish all day no matter how much coffee I drank.  In fact, I had to drink coffee all day to stay awake!  With just one tab twice a day, I have energy I never knew I harbored!  I have been more productive this week than ever I can remember.

So, I will drink more water, eat with the tabs, and start to exercise and see if the results get better.  

Best of luck with losing 55.

I love the stuff, but it makes me have very loose stools!!! I practically have to run to the bathroom or I basically have to go pantyless at work the rest of the day! Anyone else have this problem???? VERY embarassing! But I have to say, I'm not drinking enough water with it, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. It doesn't effect my sleep as long as I take it early enough in the day. I makes me a little jittery, but I get more done at work! :)
I've lost several inches and have dropped 2 sizes in a month!!! I plan on taking it for at least 2 more months ...I'll keep you posted on my progress. I'd like to lose 20 more lbs.

To: Anyone with RASH
I started taking cylaris this week and did 3 days as instructed, 1 pill 2 times a day.  Since I have bumped up to 2 pills 2 times a day, when I take the 2 in the morning, I become very flushed and get a hot sensation and rash on my face, neck, arms and upper legs.  What the heck! I have never had any problems with other supplements taken in the past...... can anyone help.  The hot rash goes away after 1-2 hours.  Becoming concerned.

To: Its the Niacin!
Yall when taking this pill please be aware that the rash with the hot sensation is from the Niacin! It can be uncomfortable but it will pass...I have been a nurse for 10 years and i can tell you that this is the reason. Good luck to everyone on this....I as well am taking this product. Have a great day!
