Trixie, yes it does work for me but there are many factors involved in taking it. I see my doctor once a month for blood pressure and weight checks because I also have had palpatations I also had to have a ekg before they would put me on a medication. It is also so important to NOT order these kinds of meds off the internet and to get them from a pharmacy with a written prescription from your doctor. So, yes it does work for me but as we all know what works for one may not work for another. But if you are interested then talk with your doctor about it and see what they think
