If it also extended the length of my penis it's a no brainer.


Otherwise, I would be weary.

My co-worker was all about it and wanted me to do it too. Then I started researching the drug and I'm not so sure now and showed her and she's not so sure now.

But it's $450!! That's a lot of money! With the possible side effect of losing a few pounds to boot.

But then, I won't even take cold medicine and rarely even take anything if I have a headache.

of a weight loss drug.

6 month program, you meet with a nutritionist up to twice a week, you get either the drug or a placebo and get paid $450 at the end of it.

BUT - looking up the drug, a couple of countries have banned it and there's a reason they keep going back for trials after it reached FDA approval in 1996.

Would you do it?? I can always bow out if it makes me feel yucky...

CarrieMpls said:

Hell no! At the very LEAST, check with a doctor before taking whatever this is. $450 can't be worth not knowing if you're screwing your body up or not.

restlessness or tremor,

nervousness or anxiety,

insomnia,

dry mouth or an unpleasant taste in your mouth, or

constipation.

I also saw on another website anorexia listed as a possible side effect, which is kinda odd, considering it mostly works as an appetite suppressant.

IMO, I think you look great. I think the best way to go about weight loss is through diet and excercise. It's slow, but it works and doesn't shock the body.

I do too. I'm actually hoping I'd get the placebo, but it's free advice from a nutritionist twice a week and an exercise program is worked out for you and you get paid at the end.

Drugs trial victim 'left like Elephant Man'
LYNDSAY MOSS HEALTH CORRESPONDENT

FRIENDS and relatives of six men left seriously ill after a clinical drug trial went wrong yesterday spoke of their horror.

The girlfriend of one of the victims said he looked "like the Elephant Man" after he and the five other medical guinea pigs had a violent reaction to the drug on Monday.

One of two medical test volunteers who escaped unscathed after being given a placebo also described the horror of watching those given the real drug go "down like dominoes".

Two of the men remain critically ill and the other four are still in a "serious" condition in the intensive care unit of Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow, north-west London, following the leukaemia treatment trial.

Fellow volunteer Raste Khan, 23, said: "First they began tearing their shirts off complaining of fever, then some screamed that their heads felt like they were going to explode.

"It was terrifying, because I kept expecting it to happen to me at any moment."

Last night the drugs company involved apologised to the families of the six men who developed potentially life-threatening side-effects while taking part in the trial.

I have a good friend who works at San Francisco State who has warned me to never take a clinical trial, as you sign waivers and take full responsibility for medical bills or mishaps. They're clinical trials because they haven't been FDA-Approved yet.

He scared me out of it, which is a shame, because I like money.

I worked for 2 clinical trial companies and many trials these days are looking at drugs that have already been FDA approved.
It is always good to do your research before entering a clinical trial.
If it is a phase III trial it is relatively safe.
You must remember that the list of side effects are "possible" side effects and everything you consume has a side effect if you think about it.
When you go in to the clinic they will give you a consent form to read before you sign anything. They should allow you to take a copy to your PCP to look over if you feel uncomfortable or unsure.
One benefit to going into a clinical trail, you will be seen by health care professionals. You will get blood work and all sorts of health checks before you are accepted into the program. You will be monitored on a regular basis, unlike when you go to the dr and he writes you a script and sends you on your way.
There are pro's and con's of coarse with taking any medications.

I remember hearing about this on the radio a year or two ago (and I believe at least one of the participants has now developed cancer?):
