Hydroxycut and libido?

Hi everyone. Has anyone heard of or experienced a low sex drive while taking Hydroxycut? Not the newest version...but just the regular Hydroxycut? I know someone who said they felt like it was zapping their sex drive in their marriage a bit and I just wanted to know if anyone else heard of this? I'm posting in Marriage and Divorce because that's where there seems to be the best answers and most of my contacts! Thank you for any input!

Update:

Thank you everyone for the concern...I'm well aware of the recall on this crap. I told my girlfriend to dump that sh*t in the garbage. She and her husband were taking it and exercising and dieting.

Update 2:

Jery E...You're the dumbass. I am not the one taking it, Fool. If you call a size 6 a Fatso, then you're the one with the f'ing problem. Who spells Jerry with only one "r" anyway? F'ing moron.

Update 3:

Thanks Val. I was hoping you'd respond. Account No. 20? That's impressive. And all the "death will put a crimp in the sex drive"...VERY funny. I liked that one!

    Hey there girlfriend.

    Hydroxycut has just been banned and pulled from shelves...they have been pulling it all over Chicago as well.

    Anyone still having these pills, throw them out.

    I found the boost in energy gave me a healthier sex drive. I guess it varies from person to person.

    But like everyone else said, the FDA recalled it, I would stop using it at once.

    This speeds up your thyroid gland..very dangerous, long term use can result in the need for thyroid medication in the future as it artificially speeds up the metabolism not to mention your heart rate. It can drain you of energy when not on it, because your thyroid gland needs more to maintain the effect. When you go off of it you may feel very weak and tired your body is telling you it needs to rest. You rest, and become lazy while not on it and gain your weight back. One solid way to lose weight is to commit to a lifelong regimen of working out and eating right, letting your body take it`s natural course through natural means.

    Valerie X may be able to help here, I believe she is up on these types of things...

    No but I did hear that they are recalling all hydroxycut products because it was found to cause liver damage

    It's been said, the FDA pulled it off the shelf. Death surely will lower your libido.

    It's been recalled. Reason enough to discontinue use. See the following:

    it has been pulled from shelves at the demands of the FDA.

    the product causes severe liver damage and death.

    and when dead, we understand one has a very low sex drive.
