Lisa of Arlington TX writes (7/18/01):
After taking Metabolife, I have trouble sleeping, shortness of breath, high anxiety. I have been to the doctor several times. I have severe problems with my nervous system that has resulted in frequent panic attacks. After taking Metabolife for an extended period of time, I found that I had a very difficult time functioning without it. I believe the Metabolife caused many sleepness nights, which made it very difficult to function without it.

I have missed many days of work. I am seeing my doctor regularly. I have been on 4 different medications which have also caused various complications. I have a very difficult time being able to focus while I'm at work. Projects that used to take me an hour, now take 4 or 5 hours. I wrecked my car during this time. I am now seeing a therapist once a week attempting to get things back in order. I am no longer taking the Metabolife.

Pam of Geneva, OH, writes:
I took one of their famous diet pills and 15 minutes later had a heart attack. Damage: 40,000 worth of medical bills that no attorney will go after them for.

Pam may not be talking to the right attorneys. There have been plenty of lawsuits against manufacturers of supplements containing ephedra, a dangerous stimulant that can cause everything from nervousness to death.
