I have used Cortislim in the past and I felt it worked great. I am suffering now with onset of higher symptoms of Fibromyalgia and the sediment levels in my blood are high. I need to know where to get it again. Crystal

I've been taking Cortislim for years.

Before I started taking it I was having to take water pills, gas x, and laxatives because of water retention, bloating from gax, and constipation.

Once I started Cortislim I no longer have to take any of this. I find that it helps with my digestive tract and water retention. I'm in my late forties and my belly would be so bloated it was horrible.

Maybe Cortislim needs to reconsider how it markets itself. My sister also takes this for the same reason and she has been on it over a year.

Cortislim worked great for me. I lost a lot of my stomach fat right away. My mom managed to get some cheap, and wanted to have me try it with her. She noticed the results before I even did, like how my stomach had almost completely flattened out after maybe 2 months of max use, and doing pilates.

I fell off the wagon though, and stopped remembering to take the pills so of course I ate more and gained more back. If it wasn't so expensive I'd definitely use this product again.

I didn't have any bad side effects from it. I just felt full, and needed to kinda force myself to eat smaller serving size portions since I never felt hungry.

I started using Cortislim about a year and a half ago. It was on the advice of a friend who swore by it. I am not trying to sensationalize this supplement but I really can not do without it. I have lost nearly 40 pounds and kept it off for a year. Unfortunately, I can not stop taking the supplement. I get VERY grumpy if I don't have it for a few days. Ironically I also take a prescription pill that is a relative of Valium for siezures.

Cortislim strted to show some weight loss effects after about a months use. My clothes strted not fitting before the scales changed. I was not as hungry as usual but still had hunger pangs. I continued to take it and started enjoying the way I wasn't so melancholy anymore. Life looked a little brighter for me.

My husband started buying me fitness magazines. I started to follow a more healthy lifestyle regimen. As the months wore on and I had a few surgeries which put me in bed I still managed to lose weight.

I was in a wheelchair or on a crutch for many years. I have lupus and MS (an extremely rare pairing). As the weight started to come off more I started to change the way I was eating. I adopted the 6 small meal plan. I also added mostly organic grains to my diet. I also started an excercise regimen.

At first it was all isometric from the comfort of my bed. Then it progressed to weighted cuffs. Now I am on an machine every other day. I continue to get stronger and my crutches have been a distant memory for more than 6 months.

I don't know what part Cortislim had in this but I am smaller than I have ever been as an adult. I am now a size 2. I am 5'6" tall. I won't give Cortislim all the kudos for my weight loss but it started the ride I'm on. My family knows when I have run out. I don't have to tell them.

You forgot to mention how much calcium is in Cortislim. A LOT. I get steroid treatments every now and then and it is supossed to make you gain weight and have brittle bones. Not me. I am almost 40 so falling from a 10 ft. ladder (I was foolish as I am still not strong enough depite my feelings otherwise) should have done something. Nothing happened.

I will continue to take Cortislim because I need it. It helps me a lot. However a note of warning to those planning to take it, you have to give it a chance. I started taking it before they added the "bitter orange" and it still worked.

I don't really diet anymore I just eat sensibly and excercis as I am able.

WARNING: Do not try to buy it from the Cortislim website as after 6 monthe of purchases they have suddenly decided to bill your credit card and not deliver the product nor return calls. I will not shop from them again.

However until someone can recommend a better product with the calming effect and calcium and sugar balancing properties of this supplement I will continue to purchase and use it. As I said before, I am the smallest I have ever been since reaching adult size. That goes all the way back to 13 years old when I finished growing. LOL.

So long story short, Cortislim started me on the road to a better me and the better me discovered excercise and proper eating along the way. I will never be fat again, count on it!

Editor's Comments: The makers of CortiSlim were fined in excess of 4 million dollars by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for making false and unsubstantiated comments about this product, and one other CortiStress ( you can read about there action here!). Instead of experimenting with CortiSlim, I'd recommend Magnolia bark -- the ingredient in CortiSlim that has the "calming" effect.
