Have you looked it up at a reputable pharmacological site or in a drug book? That's generally a good place to start.

Pro: great weight loss supplement. It completely diminishes appetite

Con: can cause heart palpitations and HTN, they usually will do an ekg before prescribed. Leaves some people jittery, it's also very addictive.

I took it... oddly it made me feel like a zombie.. but it gave me heart palpitations and im convinced it did some sort of damage to my heart. I never had htn before I took it.. it spiked my bp , especially the diastolic pressure. . Now I'm on bp meds.

Pretty sure that, as a student at Purdue, you have learned some research skills along the way. How about you do your own research and find your own articles?

Let me google that for you
