I hear you are supposed to get a sudden boost of energy when you take xen. I dont get any boost, i would use it to put me to sleep if I want. My major lifts have went up since I started using xenadrine/ckd, but I dont think it is due to the supplement.

If it isn't giving me this boost of energy, does this mean it isn't working as a fat burner either?

No, it doesn't. After awhile on xenadrine I stopped feeling the stimulant effect, but it kept burning fat. Now, whether or not it doesn't respond to your body, I don't know.

Are you SURE its not giving you a boost of energy? Try taking your normal dosage before bed and see how well you do :)

i take 2 pills in the morning before school, then two after school at about 2:30. im the type of person i will lay in bed at night 3 hours before i can fall asleep, i have always had sleeping problems at night.

but i sure dont feel any boost of energy after i take the pills, i feel the same as before i took them. and i dont feel energetic throughout the day either.

I use Hydroxycut and since i first started taking it (5-6 weeks ago) i havent felt this 'energy' everyones talking about. Maybe its just my bodies tolerance to stimulants.

I've lost 6-7 lbs on EFX - with a ton of exercise and a good low carb diet - in the past 2 weeks. stuff really does work for me as a appetite suppressment. I take it at around 6:50AM then go to the gym, and take it again around 3pm.

I took it one time at 5:30pm, and boy did I enjoy staring at the ceiling in bed till about 2AM!

when you take a fat burner your beta-receptors get used to what your taking,try cycling i.e 2 weeks off 3 weeks on if its the zing your looking for. but even though you dont feel the same symptoms as you did when you first started taking them doesnt mean there not working they still curb the hunger

What exactly are mini-thins bro? Are they just ephedra hcl pills, and why in the hell would a gas station carry a fat loss supplement? Are you serious?

They're just ephedra pills. The gas stations around here carry them, I don't know why though.

I suspect truckers/drivers use then for the energy boost and to keep them awake while they drive the long hours. Do they sell caffeine at the stations as well?

I know bodies react differently to different supplements, but I almost died from taking Ripped Fuel. At best I had a headache was very moody... at worst, it was a living hell to be on it, and I quit after 3 weeks.
