I have no idea if it's the supplement or not, but stay away from Herballife. It's a multi-traded company, has had a lot of legal problems, is very secretive, and just isn't trustworthy. Try to stick to what's in a good health foods store and stay away from the direct sales and the GNCs. Who knows what they put in there? Steroids and other drugs have been found in protein supplements at GNC several times, and I wouldn't trust Herballife any more than I would a GNC.
Yes, I took it a couple of years ago, It is prescribed for weight loss. Perhaps it doesn't suit you as it's disclaimer says "Not appropriate for everyone"
Hi, I have using herbalife for about a month now. Not sure if it's related but I'm finding that I have dizziness (possible vertigo type symptoms) I've been to the ENT and my PCP, both dont know why I'm dizzy, not inner ear issue detected. I was feeling like herbalife was not keeping me feeling full and I would feel jittery and hungry easily.. my friend whose been on it and lost a bunch of weight told me to eat more when it comes times to my snacks and meal. I've tried that and it helps with the jittery feeling. but now the dizziness has been ongoing for a couple of weeks. I went out of town this past weekend and didn't take my shakes with me and I didn't have any dizziness.. i started my shake regiment again yesterday and I woke up with dizziness again. I'm thinking of stopping the herbalife again and going to other types of protein shakes or just a regular diet type regimen.
Thank you everyone for sharing. I was freaking out, having nightmares, crying, sleepy, just an overall mess. I also feel lightheaded and just a sense of being "off." The tragedy of all of this is that I am losing weight and it helps with my cravings. But, I can't continue the product, or recommend it. I know something is going on, since I had the shake and tea at 2 PM. It's now after 7, and I can still taste it - like a fake sugary taste. I only drink water otherwise. Will be discontinuing. Every "body" is different and my body is most definitely reacting and telling me to stop.
I have seen people giving shakes to their toddlers. I want to tell them "What are you doing?!!"
Interesting enough, no other protein shake has these disturbing side effects, and there is no clinical study that supports this "detox" theory. That I am aware of. After several days of migraine headaches, I switched to 301 protein shakes and had no problems. Still losing weight.

I have used herbalife several years ago and never had any issues. I started up recently again and am finding that I have some really bad and funky days. Not knowing, but suspecting that the herbalife may be a contributing factor. I enjoy the shakes, but doubt I will stay on it.
hi!!! when you start taking the products there's what we call "dietary body change" for some time you've been eating trash food and so by the time you take the products you are now flushing out toxins from your body.

I took hetbalife shake today. I got after one hour a splitting headache that still is there aftermany hours and an swollen feeling in my body. I google it and I am happy I am not the only one with headaches aftervthe herbalifeshakes. Mmm
I just google the question about herbalife making me feel depressed. I am so glad that it's not me. I get really depressed when I drink the tea. I've never had feelings like that before
Me & my partner just try today afternoon to drink this herbalife strawberry powder drink after only 1hour me & my partner feel very dizzy and sleepy, anybody can explain why?
Hi I'm a herbalife user, it has infant helped my depression and anxiety. The main reasons you might be feeling dizzy is due to what you mixing your shakes with. I used to use cows milk and that left me feeling horrible I used water which ment I felt dizzy but since using soy milk I feel like a different person. Make sure you are reaching your water, protein intake each day and ensure you are taking the supplements correctly. The choice of snacks you have can also change the way you are feeling, if you want to know more and this goes for anyone who has questions then feel free to email me at Hollie.***@**** and I'd love to help you :)
Hi,
I know you wrote about feeling depressed after taking herbalife and I have been feeling the same. I mean I used it for about 3 months then stopped for about a week and a half, started back up, and shortly thereafter I've had a lot of anxiety and a weird looming feeling of possibly depression. Can you tell me if you ever found out the cause or if stopping drinking the shakes and using the products helped?
I don't know what Herbalife is, but I prefer Keefer! :)
I'm a very happy and out going person.. love life.. had no troble getting up...but alittle over weight... so i watched my mom do herbalife and she got extra energy... happier... lost weight.. everything... so i started to take it...ya i have lost weight but i have just got sluggy...sleepy.. dizzy.. VERY moody and depressed... hate getting up in the mornings now.. yelling at my husband for no reason... wanting to sleep 24\7... and i called the 800 number and all they had to tell me was "it wasn't them.. and it must of been something else in my life"... when nothing else had happened in my life..
Thanks for all the responses but I was wondering if there was anybody else out there who has used this product and had similar experiences. Nothing dramatic has happened in my life I am a very happy and content person. :)
I agree, Herballife has been around a long time and I've heard nothing but bad things about it.
have u called the 1800 number and talked to the customer service rep? has anything happened n ur life that could cause u to b deppressed?
