Dexatrim?

I took Dexatrim for three years. A few weeks ago I developed an eyelid twitch and quit Dexatrim cold turkey. Since then I have been diagnosed with sinusitis behind the eyes and the white of my eyes are red and irritable. I am on Ammoxicilin and my eye still twitches pretty much uncontrollably. Ever since I started the Ammoxicilin there have been minor (non lasting) muscle twitches in the shoulder area, both arms, my side, and legs. Does anyone have any idea as to what I have and what these symptoms sound like?

I know a girl who DIED from taking Dexatrim for a few years.  I'm glad you got off of it.
I think the muscle twitching is Dexatrim withdrawal.
Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Yes, I did. The doctor believes some of the symptoms were from sinusitis; but, other symptoms COULD be from the Dexatrim. I was on Dexatrim Green Tea Formula. The Dr. was very concerned about the Dexatrim saying that, "that stuff is just not good for you." I've done some research and found that there are plent of potentially deadly ingredients in Dexatrim. If you're interested, here is a helpful link about the dangers of this drug and its ingredients: http://www.thedietchannel.com/Facts-About-Dexatrim.htm
