I believe it's the ingredients in the Patch that did me in. After three days of taking all three products, I had clarity of thinking, energy, no more food cravings, I was light, bouncy, and felt like I was 20 again. I work on an ambulance, and I was hauling patients up and down the stairs, lifting heavy stuff, my lieutenant even said "you're on drugs!" Well - during that first week, and then the second week, I was getting major dizzy spells. I'd have to lay down wherever I was. I often felt like I was going to pass out. Until that last day I ever took it. I'm on blood pressure pills. I took a hot shower before going to bed, took my blood pressure meds while I had the Thrive patch on. Suddenly, I felt so horrible I had to sit down. I had my son call me an ambulance. My blood pressure plummeted to 70/30. Within a few more minutes it was down to 50/30. I thought to myself this is it, I'm going into Cardiac Arrest. I felt like I stopped breathing, and I began "floating away". Next thing I know - I was in the ER and they had lots of fluids going into me. I never took the product again. I'm sad because it DOES everything they say it will do - loss of appetite therefore loss of weight. More energy, more clarity in thinking, feeling more positive. But my cardiologist said a few of the ingredients in the patch lowers blood pressure, and the caffeine must be too high, because it made my pulse rate super high. Which would sometimes make me antsy and edgy. I'm sure the raising of the pulserate along with the lowering of the blood pressure could have killed me, literally. I've been off everything for three years. This week, I ordered the Level shakes replacement meals. They are full of vitamins and everything good for you. I'm going to give it a chance. I will NEVER EVER EVER do the patches again. If I can handle the shakes, I may start doing the vitamins again. The problem with the patch is that Level fails to list how much of each ingredient is in the patch. I'm sure they do that on purpose because there's probably too much of everything - the Forslean, Garcinia Cambogia and the caffeine. Be aware of the patch if you start getting dizzy - listen to your body's signals, and take the patch off. So far so good with the shake, but it's only been a day back on it. I love the candy cane one!
