Dren. Not sure if it does anything but make me feel like I’m going to vomit just over an hour after taking it. My mouth waters and I feel like I need to puke. Then, within a minute or two the feeling goes away and I don’t feel anything. Not sure these pills are doing a damn thing to me.

I am a 61 year old male in great health and condition. I was trying Dren to lose some of the remaining fat before a running competition.
My blood pressure is normally 115/67. About 40 minutes after taking Dren I started to feel a chill and a tightness in my chest. I took my blood pressure and it was 204/100!
It seems the yohimbine mixed with PEA causes hypertensive crisis when mixed with Tyramine (Tyrosine) which is in my pre-workout drink.
My 30 year old son experienced severe headaches for days after taking this product. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I took DREN for about 2 weeks. I did not notice any of the effects that they said I would. I did not have the “happy” feeling and I did not see any results. What I did notice was that I was starting to feel sick every day that I was on it.
I was constipated even though I was drinking a minimum of a gallon of water a day. I felt so hot during the day that it was almost uncomfortable.
The last effect that I noticed was a strange pain in my lower back, on my sides. Isn’t that where your kidneys are?
Well, it was really uncomfortable and beginning to really bother me. As soon as I stopped taking DREN, the pain went away, the constipation went away, and my sick feeling was gone as well.
Some people seem to love this fat burner, but it is not for me.

I’m a fairly hardcore bodybuilder and, like most bodybuilders and/or competitors, my goal is to bulk in the winter and lean out for summer.
I’ve found that most “formulated” OTC fat burners are not good for much except a jolt of energy. In my experience, the caffeine/ephedrine combination or caffeine/yohimbine are the most effective for fat mobilization and/or appetite suppressing.
OK, now onto the review of Dren. Of course, the name draws you in because of it’s similarity to Clenbuterol. Normally, I try to cycle my fat burners, taking them straight for 2 weeks, then off for 1 week. I stopped taking Dren after 1 week because of the after effects.
I have never experienced so many jitters as with Dren. I took 1 in the morning and could barely go to sleep at night. Then, it was all I could do to wake up the next morning. After a week of this, I was so exhausted. I did, however lose about 2 pounds in that week.
I suppose you could say it was effective, but I’m pretty sure it was the result of me be so fidgety all day that I couldn’t sit still. I would love to try it for a longer period, but I’m honestly scared to.

I took this product for an entire cycle (30 days) yes I did have some of the side effects mentioned in others reviews for the first week or two (the sick feeling or empty stomach pains) however, once I got past that first week things went really well for me. I have lost a total of 40 pounds in my current cycle but with that said I have a strict diet eating very healthy. A good wieght program to enhance my wieght loss and a small portion of cardio to kick in the extra wieght loss I want.
I cant claim Dren helped me lose the weight that would be silly, but if it helped me 1% more then if I had not been taking it then I got my money worth. I agree with this website however, if there is not clinical studies to support the claims you should not take it. I just like to be a test subject for drug companies.. someday it might kill me.. tough love..

I have been taking dren for 3 days as of today and I have already noticed the effects. The first pill I took I did not notice the effects at all because my body was in a state of shock because my work hours changed from working a daytime shift to a night time shift.
The following day (my second pill) I did not notice any immediate effects, but I did decide to give it a try with my workout at my gym.
I was surprised that I had bursts of energy and I could actually do bicycle kicks (ab workout) and not get tired. It seemed as if the more I did, the more energy I had, and I did not tire out once even after doing heavy weight-lifting including bench, lat pull downs, T-bar rows, and chin ups. I did have a little muscle fatigue of course, but that was only because I was doing heavy sets.
Overall day 2 was filled with energy.
Im on Day 3 as of today, and I regret popping the 3rd pill because I went with the mentality of “I will burn fat while I sleep”. I made a very bad choice, because I did sleep for about 30 mins, but my body was getting jolts of energy due to the caffine.
Literally, my arms were involuntary jumping around, and my heart was pumping out jolts of blood for a good 5 minutes. Although I am tired, I cannot sleep, but I do feel the “euphoric” effects, but I would just call it calming or relaxing after the caffine wore out.
Although 3 days is not a good amount of time to rate a product, it is a good way to rate the initial phase of intake.
Overall the initial intake is a good source for energy, and I noticed no unwanted side effects.
Keep in mind that no pill can replace calories or nutrients, I am on a protein rich diet and I would reccomend to use Dren to only supplement your workout regime, not replace it. Also only take 1 pill a day and DO NOT take one before you go to bed, because you will not be able to sleep until the effects wear off.
As far as fat burning goes, I have read many reviews on this product and many people say that it does not burn fat like people think it does.
The term fat burner is just a ploy to get you to buy this product. However, Dren theoretically promotes fat loss because it encourages intense amounts of energy to last longer in the gym, therefore it may boost the chances of fat loss.

I will say I did my research on Dren to see if this was the product I wanted to purchase. Was very excited to start taking Dren, so yesterday was my first pill.
The first hour I felt fine. Then within two hours I felt buzzed, my head felt a little strange, I begun to drink a lot of water. Then about noon I ate lunch, I ate very healthly, could not eat as much.
Then about one hour after lunch it was down hill from there. I felt sick, I wanted to throw up. I kept hoping the nausea would go away. Well, it lasted until bedtime. I went to bed at my normal 9:30 PM time, then was wide awake until midnight, this was not good for me at all.
Again everyone feels different on products. I feel horrible today and my head still feels strange.
I can only hope that GNC will give me back my money.
Try it for yourself, but it DID NOT WORK FOR ME.

I am currently on my second box of Dren. In the beginning it make me pretty tweaky, but it seemed that my bother adapted and lost about 30LBS on it. Of course I worked out 6 days a week and increased protein intake and cut back on the carbs.
I feel that it worked great for me and would recommend it. Just make sure that you aren’t sensitive to stimulants.
My two cents.
Brian on 17 Feb 2009 at 11:02 pm #
I was excited to try Dren after reading its info online. I have used the stack many times over the past ten years as well as GNC Cuts and a couple other inferior, yet more expensive products. I consider myself pretty tolerant of stimulants. I discontinued use of Dren after trying it 3 different days. Day one – I thought I just happened to fall sick. I had a low fever with chills and my temperament was unpleasant to say the least. No Dren Day 2 – felt better but tired. Day 3 – 1 Dren and similar to Day 1 plus sleep was severely disrupted, with little appetite. No Dren Days 4-6 to be sure I was not sick. Day 7 – 1 Dren and again very ‘wound-up’, on edge, chills, low fever, low appetite, then exhausted next day. This stuff is not for me. I never felt that nasty even when being reckless with ephedrine overuse when I was younger and dumber.

I felt fine after one day-slight energy boost and no feeling of euphoria that the product claims. It was downhill from there. No longer do I feel energy from Dren, and the kicker-when I workout or strain myself in any way, I get these pounding headaches that take a full day to go away. I have been on it for just over a week now @ 1 pill a day, and I am discontinuing use. These headaches are too much to bear-they are now making me nauseous and I cannot function properly in a typical day. Overall, I consider this product just not worth it!

I bought Dren yesterday and have used it twice now. I’ve used a product called Thermalean by WestPharm for 8 or so years and got great results (it contains mahuang) but it’s difficult to find now so I went looking for an alternative and after trying Met-RX’s Thermal Infusion and BSN’s Atro-Phex, I decided to try Dren to compare. I have never in my life tried something like this. I’m no chemist so I don’t know what they (MHP) did but this is a cool product in my books. It lasts for an incredibly long time so I don’t recommend taking it late in the day if you want a good night’s sleep.
What I needed what serious motivation for the gym lately and to stay away from bad foods – I’m in China so it’s very hard to find healthy meals unless you cook them yourself.
Anyways, long story short, day 2 and all I want to do is work out, I’m not hungry – especially for bad stuff, and this stuff puts me in the best mood! I also think my focus has improved as I’m much more on top of my work.
Hope this helps.

I worked out about 4 hrs a day and lost around 50lbs in 6 months. I credit part of it to the Dren. It allowed me to work out and never sleep, when I finnally got off it I slept for three days, so there was good and bad.
Visitor Rating:Ryan Staggy on 27 Aug 2009 at 4:04 pm #
As somebody who works out daily, has cycled through many different steroids and fat burners I give Dren two thumbs up. As with any thermogenic fatburner you will have a hard time sleeping, you may get a little shakey, but overall it served the purpose. Im traveling and not comfortable lugging around real clen in my suitcase. This Dren was a very good substitute for my Clen, and as an OTC, I would recommend it. Yes you may have a problem sleeping, who cares. Good luck

I have been taking Dren once a day at Noon as part of a two tiered fat loss approach. In the morning I am taking a combination of Yohimbe 1g, Green Tea 1g, Bitter Orange 500mg-1.5 (cycled), a multivitamin, L-Tyrosine 2g, and a 200mg Caffine pill one hour before doing a PX90 cardio routine on a empty stomach. I also take 5grams of L-Glutamine peptides with 2.5 grams of L-leucine 20 minutes before working out. I then follow Lyle Mcdonald’s fat loss protocol and Scivation’s diet regiment. So before I can say Dren is the bomb, I have to put that out there. So in terms of fat loss, I am doing very well with this two tiered approach. I am approaching day 5 of this and have lost about 7 pounds, most of it is water weight from a weekend gorge fest but then I have noticed a decrease in stubborn fat around the bottom part of my abs. I am currently at 9 percent bodyfat and hope to get down to 6%. I am an endomorph and as of yet have not found the right combination of diet, workout, and supplement protocols. I feel I am on to something with Dren though.
It is a great clear head fatloss supplement, I am not knee knocking like I am now from the above fat loss supplement regiment (it is now 10:12am). Dren is a great appetite suppresant and gives you a clean energy rush for hours and hours on end. The euphoric/ clear headed focus lasts for 8-10 hours. No joke! So for 20 dollars Dren is a great second addition to the supplement fatloss stack. It gives me clear focused energy for my weight training at 5pm and makes me swet more than I am used too. A good sign that its working. My heart rate is not jacked through the roof like most speedy fat loss supplments( I constantly monitor my heart rate with a heart rate monitor wrist watch) So all in all, Dren is a great second addition to my fat loss approach. Its worth cycling through in my humble opinon.
Mr Washington
I forgot to mention that I also take 25mg of DHEA in the morning as well. I wait till half way through my breakfast to take a 450mg pill of cayenne pepper at 40,000 IU’s (never take on an empty stomach! Extreme pain and burning follows!) with 3 Omega 3 gel pills.
Update: Its 4:05 and its still a great clean focused high, a little heart discomfort but nothing too serious. Will update when 30 day supply is exhausted.
Also remember that not all products work the same way for everyone in terms of weight loss.

I have only been taken the Dren product for a few days and I am quite impressed. I have dabbled in a few weight loss pills and such and nothing has given me this fast and good response. I have been completely satisfied with small meals and my hunger is CURBED.
Before my daily intake consisted of… a bagel and a mocha in the morning. A large sandwich and chips and a cookie and tea for lunch. Some kind of crappy snack by the end of the work day and then I would get home and crave fast food so I would find my self wandering out to get a sizable meal from the nearest drive through. Of coarse by the time I would go to bed somewhere in between dinner and sleeping I would find my self snacking if I was bored, or possibly even making another meal.
For the last 3 days I have been eating half a bagel and drinking my mocha, for lunch, I am satisfied with drinking a fruit shake with supplements in it (that actually takes me at least an hour to finish), then at dinner I will eat a small sandwich or salad.
As far as the mood goes; I usually have a lot of ups and downs in my mood depending on how much sugar I intake. As it sits with Dren my moods have been leveling out on a daily basis and I’m a little more alert, whether or not I can give Dren the credit for that I don’t know. Part of it could be my change of food intake.
Either way I have lost 4 pounds and maybe 5 by the end of today and I am not just eating to eat anymore. I don’t desire food when I don’t need it and I am not forcing myself to finish even after I am full.
THE BAD – I do feel more alert like I said. However I catch my self getting a little light headed from time to time. A little concerning but I am keeping an eye on it.
So far I am very happy with the results and hope that it stays like this.

I am on my second day of Dren and I am experiencing severe nausea, sleeplessness, and sweats. Today I worked out after taking it, but didn’t notice anything special. I will return pills today/ through the register or I will toss them through the window. DO NOT TAKE THIS PRODUCT!

I took Dren for the first time about 3 hours ago . I think it probably has an an effect as a weight loss supplement/ fat burner. My mistake, however, was taking 2 tablets at the same time. (the recommendation is one) I am sitting in bed with chills, sweats and nausea. So it must be doing something. The problem is I don’t want to work out, I just want to throw up. Oh well, no pain no gain!!

I want to update my comments of above. Of interesting notation, I feel now exactly how I felt when I took “Clenbuterol” years ago.
Carmen on 11 Oct 2009 at 1:00 pm #
I’ve been taking Drenbuterol for two weeks now and I actually gained 4 lbs. I bought it from a local GNC for $39.00. It worked the first day. I was a little hyper, but almost no nausea and a definite curb in appetite and lots of fuel for my workout. After about 4 days, the effect wore off. The pill doesn’t give me the same energy boost and I am ravenous by the end of the day. Plus, I started getting severe headaches when I didn’t take it and started feeling depressed.
I say you’re better off without this one. It’s the worst diet pill I’ve ever tried. But you can definitely judge for yourself.

I am halfway through my 2nd (30day Cycle) of DREN.
First 30 Day Cycle
I was overweight by alot (5′6″ 203lbs). I started taking this product and watching my meals (pretty much tried to keep calories under 1 thousand a day and ate more vegetables than anything). I would sweat no matter how cold it was.
Great feeling… always within 1 hour of taking it feeling not so hot but after that it levels out and I feel great like I could lift a Semi truck! And was pretty happy!). During that time of the under 1k calories running 3-5 times a week. (Mon, Wed, Fri= 1.5 miles, Tues, Thurs= 3.8-4.5miles)
I lost around 25 lbs. Now I know that’s not a healthy loss but wow 25 lbs in a month?! So I bought another pack and just used it when I needed it like before a work out. In a total of 3 months (1 month on Dren Everyday and 2 months of Dren if I wanted an extra push) I lost 40 pounds!
I highly contribute it to DREN considering I could work out pretty close to what I did and eat like I did and I wasn’t budging so it helped.
Now I have been at 160lbs for a year now and its time for me to cycle again for another hopeful 20 pound loss. I’m back on the same routine as before and I have slimmed out more but my weight is around the same 159 most of the time. But I’m noticebly losing the fat but gaining tone.
Side effects for the 2nd cycle…
I don’t sweat that much anymore. I am amped up and happy feeling. Still get the little bit sick feeling when I first take it but like I said, it levels off and I feel great. Some jitters here and there.
Definitely able to lift more (reps). My appetite is curbed.
The only difference is the sweating. I do get kinda like hot while I am moving and lifting things (I work in a warehouse). No matter how cold it is I end up taking off my Jacket because I get really hot.
Needless to say this does the job it says. Everyone’s body interacts with it differently but if you can get past the bad feeling at first and do it for a week straight, I’m sure the 2nd week you will feel better taking it.
I’ve taken Ripped Fuel, Acai, etc. Nothing has compared to this.
I stand by MHP. I also have their AM/PM ThyroSlim fatburner which I am gonna try out after I’m done with this cycle of DREN. The thyroslim is supposed to help regulate your thyroid and etc but burn calories during the day and night but no jitters or awake feeling at night.

I just took Dren about 3 hours ago for the first time. I have the shakes like crazy. I did some jump roping and crunches hoping that would burn off some of my energy and make my shakes go away but I find that it just made them worse. I’m not hungry at all – the thought of eating makes me want to puke. I’ve been to the restroom already three times this morning so its definitely cleaning me out. I can’t really rate it since I’m only 3 hours into my first time taking the pill!

After coming off of Slim Xtreme, this is like a placebo to me. Yes, nausea, headaches, “high” feeling, and thirsty. The headaches are probably from not drinking enough. No, I am not hungry, but I don’t have any energy either. I have taken only two weeks worth, but with slim xtreme I had results within days. Ehh, I need something stronger. I am 5′ 5″ and 140 pounds. I was down to 125 on slim xtreme. I am now at my normal weight.

I take Dren in the morning between 6 and 7 with breakfast. When I burp I have an aftertaste and later in the morning (around 9 ish) I get the jitters. I’ll eat my mid morning snack at that time and the jitters go away.
I have has an increase in potty breaks and water intake. I haven’t had the desire to work out longer or harder at this point. I’m recovering from a second ACL surgery so I’m doing most of my cardio by stair stepper or elliptical. I’m still in the mood to get off after about 15 minutes.
Right now I can say I’m not seeing the weight loss nor the lack of sleep some have claimed. After a normal work and gym day, I still get sleepy around 9 or 10. My goal is to lose 10lbs of fat and gain it back in muscle. So I’m 165lbs now and plan on weighing again in 2 weeks to see if lose the same 2-5 everyone else has claimed to have lost.
