Second question. I took meltdown for 22 days. I wanted to order another bottle at the same time as her. How long should I wait between cycles?
Is there any chance should could drink decaf. Without knowing what her tolerance to caffiene is it would be hard to say. I would give it about a month off before running it again. I wish both of you the best.

She is probably pretty tolerant to caffeine by now. She could try 1 cap of MD along with the coffee and see how she feels. If there is too much stimulation, then she can separate the two by 2-4 hours.

As for you, I feel you can use MD optimally for 4-6 weeks straight before taking a break of equal time.

I'm starting to think my reaction to Meltdown may not have been because of the dose I took. I had another similar attack today (no ambulance) and was able to control it. I believe there's an underlying condition I don't know about.

However, if that is the case, I just find it odd that this started the second day while on Meltdown.



I'll try to be nicer, if you'll try to be smarter.

Call me crazy, but I think I'm going to start taking Meltdown again tomorrow lol. I've been having anxiety/panic attacks and I find it seems to start when I'm upset or irritated at work.

We'll see how things go this time.

Anxiety/panic attacks are nothing to play around with my friend. They can truly make life a living hell if they get out of control. Perhaps you should look into dealing with this problem before it gets a real hold of you before worrying about using Meltdown.

Just some friendly advice.

Since I am not a representative for VPX, I can say this.....

DUDE, ARE YOU NUCKING FUTS?
If you're having panic attacks, which I'm pretty sure you are, then you're running a surplus of epinephrine already.....maybe not a good idea to boost the stimulant level any further, don't ya think?

See a Doc, Bud.

Well, I wasn't going to do anything before seeing a doctor to determine what the truth behind everything is. I just find it weird I started having these attacks, even after I stopped taking Meltdown. My biggest thing is why this didn't happen the first time I took it?

Yes, I'm nuts in a lot of ways lol. I wasn't going to do anything unless I know for sure if I even have a serious problem. One week ago on Monday, August 11th is when I had my first attack. Exactly one week later again this week on Monday, I had another one at the EXACT same time, without having taken those pills. Like I've said before, I just find it odd I didn't have this problem the first time I took Meltdown.

I will try and see a doctor later tonight or early tomorrow morning, to determine if what I'm feeling is a real issue, because I haven't had any attacks since Monday. I've noticed that when I start getting upset is when I feel an attack coming on, but I'm actually able to control it and it goes away.

Does anyone know the amount of caffeine and the rest of the ingredients in one pill, just so I'm aware?

That's not what I meant. I know all the ingredients are listed on the bottle. I meant individually, since each ingredient has an asterisk (**).

Please see your doc before using any more Meltdown or any other stimulant. There is about 75 mg caffeine per pill.

I'm going to bump gopro's recommendation here because I think it's important. One page ago I went on about how great Meltdown is and I still feel it's the best fat burner I've ever tried. But you know us lifters, if something works well as advertised, we'll try and use too much of it. I was taking 2 pills first thing in the morning and two at noon for seven weeks straight and started getting a terribly upset stomach and nausea. All symptoms went away about two days after quitting the Meltdown. I don't blame Meltdown at all for this, it was 100% self induced by my own stupidity. When a product says take a break, TAKE A BREAK. I'll be back on it next week. Gotta look good for the Mr. O Expo. (Of course, I always look good. )



Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

Sometimes companies might not tell you to take a break because that could hurt sales. However, you WILL hear the TRUTH from me no matter what!

It is important to take a break from MD and all other stim-fat-burners for long term effectiveness and health!

Gopro, can you recommend a non stim fat burner to take after my cycle is over? I plan on cutting for another month after I finish Meltdown which is why I am looking for a non stim

I highly recommend venom! It has been my main supplement over the summer. SO far I have lost about 40 lbs (with a lot of cardio and a decent diet). I would say it will give you an energy boost, but not a hardcore stim.

I am not attacking VPX or demeaning Meltdown, but I would really like an explanation to the claims on their ad which I am reading right out of this month's magazine:

972% More Powerful than Ephedrine!
113% - 273% More Potent than Ephedrine/Caffeine Stack!


Seriously?

come on Eric, I want a response like everyone else get in this thread?

you once told me how much science that VPX puts behind their supplements so it should be easy to explain the above numbers to me.

I am sorry Rob, I did not get an email about a post in this thread. I did not even know you asked a question! I would never have ignored you bro!

As far as those numbers go, I am not exactly sure how they were calculated, but the study was very legit and of the highest standard (in terms of the methodology).

I will look into the study a bit more and see if I can find out how the "percentages" were arrived at.

Again, sorry I did not see this earlier buddy.

A Newbie :)

I am truly inspired by this forum. I just bought MD from a local sports nutrition place and he highly recommended it for my particular situation.

Almost two years ago, I found out that I had two large cysts on my ovaries and that I also had endometriosis that caused me to gain A LOT of weight. I used to be a great 120lbs and now I am 170lbs. Needless to say, I have not been able to bounce back from that yet. Recovery time was astronomical!!!

I bought one of those home BMI meters and found out that my BMI was 30.1% So I thought that I would start with this thread.

I took my first dose this morning. So far so good. If I get even half of the results that you all are posting here, then I will be absolutely THRILLED. We are going to Brazil in January (need I say more about the motivation) and hope to be a bit slimmer by the time we go. I think I will keep posting as I go along.

So here goes nothing!!! LOL
