Appetite Suppressant Side Effects: Jitters, Sleep, Heartbeat and More
Appetite suppressant side effects most often trace to stimulants such as caffeine: jitters, trouble sleeping, headache, nausea and a fast heartbeat (MedlinePlus, Caffeine). One SodaSlim capsule holds 138 mg of caffeine, 34.5% of the FDA's 400 mg a day guide. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you have heart, blood pressure, liver or anxiety issues.

What are the common side effects of appetite suppressants?
The common ones are jitters, trouble sleeping, headache, nausea and a fast or pounding heartbeat. Many pills sold for appetite lean on caffeine, so the caffeine list applies.
MedlinePlus also notes that caffeine raises blood pressure, and that stopping suddenly can bring a withdrawal headache and irritability (MedlinePlus, Caffeine). The Cleveland Clinic lists anxiety and palpitations among the early signs of too much (Cleveland Clinic, Caffeine overdose).
| Effect | Linked to |
|---|---|
| Fast heartbeat, palpitations | Caffeine (Cleveland Clinic, Caffeine overdose) |
| Jitters, anxiety, poor sleep | Caffeine (Cleveland Clinic, Caffeine overdose) |
| Headache, nausea | Caffeine, garcinia |
| Diarrhea, stomach upset | Garcinia (NCCIH, Garcinia cambogia) |
| Liver injury (uncommon) | Green tea extract, garcinia |
Is SodaSlim an appetite suppressant?
The SodaSlim label does not say it suppresses appetite. Its front reads "Metabolic & Appetite Support*" and "Supports Craving Control & Satiety*", both with an FDA asterisk.
No source shows these five ingredients together change hunger. In one garcinia trial the NIH describes, appetite and fullness were unaffected. So treat the capsule as a caffeine and extract product first, with side effects to match.

Who should ask a doctor before taking an appetite pill?
Anyone with a heart rhythm problem, high blood pressure, diabetes, liver or thyroid disease, anxiety, or who is pregnant or nursing should ask first.
The SodaSlim label says it is not for anyone under 18 or pregnant or nursing, and tells you to consult a physician if you take a medicine. For medicines such as MAOIs, diabetes medicine or blood pressure medicine, ask a pharmacist.
Keep taking prescribed medicine. A capsule is not a substitute.

See packsWhen should you stop and get care?
Stop and get care for chest pain, fainting, a racing heart that will not settle, or a seizure. Call 911 for those.
See a doctor the same day for yellow skin or eyes, dark urine or severe belly pain, which are liver warning signs. For an unexpected reaction, report it to the FDA through its Safety Reporting Portal. The FDA has not evaluated the label's claims.
Where can I read the whole SodaSlim label?
