The caffeine that is in it will cause problems for some people especially if you have been avoiding it for awhile.

Besides the caffeine, Accel also contains guggul, phenylalanine, tyrosine and kelp. These are meant to stimulate the thyroid, and although generally safe, they can cause anxiety and nervousness.

I checked the product information at the Atkins website, and noted you're supposed to take 3 per day. Most thermogenics instruct you to start out slowly, just one a day and gradually increase to the full dose. Maybe you need to cut back and give your system more time to adjust?

Well thanx for the info. I am a regular coffe drinker up until I began taking it. So it wouldnt be a sensitivity to caffeine. And its a rare day that I actually remember to take 3 pills...Actually one bottle is lasting me 3 weeks which it should only last 2.
I will cut back to 1 a day if and I still feel anxious will discontinue ..thanx all,

The first week I lost about a 1lb more than usual. T.O.M. happened the next week also couple with Halloween so I' m still recovering from that. So I think so far it is helping. I was gonna give it a couple of months and the decide if it has mad a significant difference or not.
