I weigh about 235 lbs and used no more than 6 caps per day. So, a bottle would last 20 days for me. Some may only need 3-4 caps per day, while others could possibly need as much as 8-9.

I would say that fat loss can be noted after about 2 weeks.

Got a couple of questions for you gopro. As you may remember, my gym is at home and I work out when I get home in the evening. I end up going to bed about three hours after working out. I know you mentioned not having problems getting to sleep yourself but, how long after taking MD do you hit the hay? If I take a dose right before my workout and end up wide awake all night that's just not a good situation. You know how much I need my beauty sleep.

Second, my wife has a ulcer type condition. (Married to me, imagine that.) She's been told by the doctor to limit caffeine as much as possible. How much caffeine is in MD?



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

I wouldnt touch this stuff as it does have some caffeine in it. I just wouldnt chance it.

Yeah, that's the problem, name one EFFECTIVE fat burner that doesn't have caffeine in it.

I am not sure of the exact amount, but I believe there is between 75-100 mg caffeine per capsule.

I think if you use Meltdown, then train, then go to sleep you will be ok. It seems the euphoric effect of MD sort of "wears out" from training. Almost like intense activity "burns it off."

it depends on how sensitive you are to caffeine, my wife cannot take any caffeine after around 1pm or she has problems sleeping, whereas I can take it at 6pm and sleep fine.

I'd be more concerned about the ulcer, hands down.

Should I be taking this with creatine? If part of creatine is retaining water in the cells is it worth taking both at the same time or should I just run creatine for a while then when I want to lean out use this?

There is no reason you cannot run creatine with a fat burner such as Meltdown.

Great to hear. I swear, even if the stuff did not burn fat I think I would take it just as a "happy pill," LOL!

Prozac works very well too, and it's only $4/bottle from Wal-Mart.

Not proud to say i have been on Prozac and you would have to pay me to ever take it again here are some of the side affects and i got most of them


Prozac is associated with insomnia, restlessness, nausea, and tension headaches, which normally go away within one to two weeks from the time it was first taken. One possible Prozac side effect, which remains for the time it is taken, is its effect on your sex life. It often reduces desire and can delay or interfere with orgasm, in both women and men. Fatigue and memory loss are other possible problems. These side effects subside when you stop taking the drug.

I use it as well (20mg per day), it affects everyone differently as do all drugs, personally I have no side effects from it.
