AlwaysAwesome Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 So, I passed a big test on Friday. I was getting my haircut and mentioned to the stylist that I was super tired. I told her about quitting adderall and how my metabolism was junk! She recommended a B vitamin supplement from GNC, next door. I knew that I needed some vitamins, so I went over there and told them my situation. The dude working there asked me why I quit adderall. He quickly added that they have some things that are chemically very similar to amphetamines, if I wanted to try them. I was silent for a few seconds and said no. HOWEVER, I thought about it all the way home. I googled it, and thought about it. A LOT. Well, I did not go back and I will not buy anything except FDA approved vitamins from GNC, but it was all consuming! Addiction is so terrible...I will never go back to adderall, or any chemically similar substance. I just wanted to pass this along and see if anyone else has had similar issues at GNC. Or, have you been drawn in by this pitch? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAwesome Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 "Basically, the label 'Acacia rigidula' is being used as a cover for introducing a brand new synthetic drug similar to amphetamine," Cohen said. FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krax Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 awhile back someone mentioned this powder called Craze or Kraze, it is marketed for body builders. I got some and it tasted like tang, and ya, it felt suspiciously alot like adderall. I googled and read some scary stuff about the manufacturer. Who knows what was in that stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetCarolinee Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I am not a huge fan of GNC anymore. They are way overpriced and their protein powder tastes like shit. I'm all about Prime Amazon and free 2-day shipping. I find reading all the reviews of the products very helpful. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that Kraze was chemically similar to methamphetamines...if there was ever a worse drug than adderall (and heroin ) it's meth. Yikes! What are they thinking?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper_critical Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Obviously, it sells. There are other places to get vitamins (that are probably cheaper and better). I would stay the f out of GNC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an amazon prime member, Sweet Carolinee, and I love it, too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit-once Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I have not been impressed with the quality of GNC products lately. Their multivitamins caused me muscle cramps and insomnia. Their fish oil products come back to make fish burps all day long and they make my ears ring. The only thing I go there for anymore is L-Tyrosine and that is only because I have not looked for it anywhere else. Regarding their speed-like pills, I would stay away from all of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perullo Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 GNC, just as most doctors and psyc's, get paid to sell drugs. Yes, they do have vitamin supplements and other stuff that are actually healthy. But bottom line - know what you're getting BEFORE going into places like that. Otherwise the salespeople will just try to take you for a ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodged a bullet there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
