Dangerous product! My husband and I saw the infomercial and tried extenze during a night of insomnia. The product did work, and I was not surprised, being familiar with the traditional uses of its ingredients. I have to say that my husband had no health problems before using the product. After 2-3 months, he began having heart palpitations, migraines, dizzy spells, insomnia, anxiety and mood swings. He stopped taking the product. Of course, it took three more months of constant phone tag to get them to cancel, and now we have a drawer full of the stuff. They would not take the product back or refund the money. On the rare occasion that he might take one just because there is over $120 going to waste in the drawer (six to eight months after discontinuing use) his symptoms start again. I truly believe this product is dangerous! Do not order it for any reason! There may be safer alternatives. We are very afraid that the short time he used extenze may have had a permanent affect on his health. He is now taking medication every day for migraines that the doctor said would continue to get worse otherwise. He did not lose his life, thank god, but he may have lost his job as an equipment operator, or even caused someone else to become injured. Please don't be sucked in by this infomercial! Please don't risk your life on this product! If anyone else has medical problems, speak up!

My husband and I are in our mid-late 40's. We have an excellent sex life and sometimes we get a little kinky, dressing up, high heels, and we usually carry on for about 1 1/2 hours which includes foreplay, one or two times a week. So you get the picture. Never had a problem with size. Active healthy couple.

Well he surprised me with the 7 day pack. I told him he doesn't need that, but I asked him to read all the ingredients anyway while I was taking a hot bath. Everything sounded herbal, s0 I figured what the hell. The instructions say that it could take weeks before results could be seen. Whatever, I thought, the company just wanted to make sure people kept buying it.

We were going to have sex anyway and so he took the first pill. The foreplay was great as usual and I noticed that I was able to go down on him for much longer than usual. Usually he has to stop me or it will be over.

That was the only difference. So it does extend for an extra 20 minutes. PLEASE keep reading.
after reading the side effects, we are going to talk to our doctor before taking anymore.
I love my husband, took me forever to find my soul mate and I do not want to injure him for an extra 20 minutes. If you don't go to the doctor then at least look up each ingredient. From reading some of these complaints, my main concerns are the enlarged prostrate and heart palpitations.

As far as the continued charges, I did call [protected] and spoke with a woman named Carmalita ext#320 and told her to cancel the "treatment". They had already sent us 30 more pills and charged $50.90 from our acct. It is important to get their name and ext#. We are going to keep the 30 day supply, but all other charges are supposed to stop.

You can also contact your bank and tell them the charge was NOT authorized and then they will credit the money back and investigate for you. OR you can cancel the debit card and get a new one. (which is what we will most likely do anyway) Lesson learned: Never give them a debit card, they have immediate access to you money. Always use a credit card. much easier to dispute and they dont get paid till you pay your CC.

My husband ordered this product and they lied to him. It was suppost to be a free trial and they told him that they needed our credit card number to bill him .97 cents for shipping and for age verification and so he did and he told them that he DID NOT want the subscription and the next day we was charged $50.99 and then again the following day we was charged again another $50.99. I called the company and talked to a supervisior and he told me to send the producted back and they would refund our money within 4 to 5 business days. I overnighted the product back to them through the US Postal Service Delivery Confimation. I paid for the confirmation to make sure they got it and they could not say they didn't recieve it and that was in Jan.15, 2010. After that I called to make sure they got there product back and they told me it was going to take 3 to 4 weeks before we got our money back. We waited the 3 to 4 weeks and then we called to see where our refund was and they told us that it was suppost to be released on Feb.25, 2010 so when our money was not on our card again we called again and they said it was released and that it will be on our card in 3 to 5 business days and that was not true either which that would have been on March 3, 2010 and now we called again and they said that it would be on there by Friday and then it was no later than March 8, 2010 and then a supervisiorsaid it will be NO LATER than next Friday March 12, 2010. We keep getting lies after lies. If you look at there website there are alot of complaites about this money sitiuation and they are doing the samething to them too. There is alot of talk about all of us getting together for a class action law suite and then maybe they will get it together and stop lieing to everybody.We just want our money back and they do have a refund policy and we have honored there policy but, they won't honor there own policy. We will never deal with this company again and we would have told people (friends and family) too try there producted but, not after this. We have been lied too and hung up on time and time again and we are tired of the way they do buisness and treat there custmers. We just want our money back and to be done. It has been almost 2 months. US POSTAL DELIVERY NUMBER [protected]. I am sorry but, this is ridulous to lie and steal peoples money and not honor your own return policys you made the rules and policys now honor them and your customers.

The sons of ### got me too! Make sure u get their name, cancellation number, and their extention that is very important becasue they will say they cancelled it but if you do not get this information they will not. Also I have had the breakouts on my arms and upper back and feeling itchy. I had no idea where it came from and why I was experincing this until I began to research the side effects. But also I did have some slight growth and extended erection. But the ### was charging me the whole time after I cancelled during the trial run. And they said 7 day free trial they charged my acct. in 4 days. Be careful

I agreed to the free 10 day supply and have recieved 3 one month supplys of male enhancement pills, which I did not order. I called the company and reached a man with an asian accent who tried to tell me that the product would take time for it to work. I told him that I'd sent the first order back via usps and he agreed to cancel any further shipments. Two days later 3/12/10 I recieved another order and another withdrawal from my bank account. I reported it to my bank and signed an affidata so this company could not take any more money and returned the second supply via usps and raited for a refund.
Yesterday 4/6/10 I recieved another 30 day supply and another $43.95 had been taken from my account on 4/2/10. I cancel my visa card and I'm waiting to see what happens next. The bank requested that I get a cancelation number from extenze Inc. but so far I've been unable to contact them. How many other people will get the same problem with this company and how can I get my money back ?

Extenze stoled $200.00+ from me, over 2 years ago. I sent their product back within a weak, of their 30day money back warranty. They sent me a confirmation letter #[protected] that they recieved their product. But, still 2yrs. later I still have no refund! I've called and called, to no avail. I can't believe, they are getting away with this rip-off in the U.S.A. I will not order anything off the internet or mail order ever again; And I suggest this to all American Citizens. I'm a Veteran of three wars, I can't Believe I laid my life down, for these dirty ingrates, to run such scams.

Here's the deal people:

Speaking statistically, you've made no difference at all. Some people have problems, including palpitations, heart murmurs, and other forms of anxiety. Some people will experience other problems such as enlarged prostate. The truth is is that once you start taking a supplement it becomes very easy to blame the problem on it. What many of you have failed to realize is that in the past five months only a handful of people are experiencing what you are. I don't know if you are trying to put together some kind of class action lawsuit, but I do know that I have not had any problems whatsoever. I even have hypertension and chronic anxiety and have noticed no change in the 5 months I have taken the supplement. Instead of blaming the supplement, you should focus on lifestyle. However, by no means am I saying that taking the supplement is safe; I am simply saying that there are many other causes of the problems you have described. In fact, those are more probable based on the numbers from this site. People are always looking for a scapegoat to emerging problems when they should be looking for a reasonable solution. True, some of you have simply reported symtoms you experienced after taking extenze, but the majority of you jumped on the bandwagon. The truth is, most of you do not want to admit that you are the sole cause of your health problems. My recommendation for you is to step back and take a good look of what has brought these problems on.

I took just one Extenze pill and it really did make me feel dizzy and a little sweaty and flushed. Like a cross between coming down with a cold and taking a little speed. So I assume my body is sensitive to one of the many herbal ingredients. Maybe yohimbe - I found it has a pretty bad reputation. What a bummer... instead of feeling horny I feel kind of sick...

Well my husband and I were courious about the extenze we had in the past tried rize to the occasion wich by the way really worked for him! Anyway we ordered the product and they debited our bank account but we never recieved the product when we call they at first tried to say it was the address cause we hjave a mailing and a physical so first it was because they said they only had the mailing and the product was returned then they said well they had to find the return product before they could resend it then they said they the mailing they only use the us postal system nd then they said it was returned but had to wait again to find so then I gave them my work address wich I use all the time to recieve items that require a sugnature or are going to ship to the mailing address because the us postal person knows me and knows to come into the office to deliver! Well then my husband called 12 days ago and was told it shipped on the 12th of march well now its the 27th and still nothing isnt it against the law to take money from a person promising to deliver an item for that money then never deliver they have taken hundreds of dollars out of our account untill I finally told them to cancle our membership! The funny thing is that when I spoke with george he asked if I wanted the membership reactivated I was shocked he had the nerve to ask I responded first let see if we even recieve the product we have already paid for funny it still hasnt arrived almost 3 months later! I am now trying to find out the presidents name or coes some one higher up to file another complaint im wondering if we should seek an attourney in this matter!

"In 2004, Berkeley Nutraceuticals' (the company that produces 'Extenze') earliest marketing included promises of an additional 3 inches of penis size, provoking 3, 700 customers to file a lawsuit. A large financial settlement followed 2 years later, and the company paid $2.5.
Later that same year, the owner, president and six other employees of the company were charged with swindling $100 million from American consumers. They were accused of sending orders that weren't requested, having unauthorized credit card charges and engaging in money laundering.
Because of controversy regarding the claims made by Enzyte, the company offers a 60-day money back guarantee. They no longer advertise that Enzyte can increase penis size. The product is now marketed as a supplement that will temporarily produce firmer erections."

...

"Controversy still surrounds Enzyte. Steven Warshak, CEO and president of Berkeley Nutraceuticals, was sentenced to 25 years in prison in August, 2008. The company was asked to surrender $500 million. Mr. Warshak was fined $93, 000.
Enzyte cannot really treat erectile dysfunction. The packaging states that Enzyte "is not intended or promoted to diagnose or treat any disease."

This is my second go around with extenze. I bought it a year ago looking for some extra size. withing 15 days I was satisfied but I really didn't take notice to all of the side effects because I was a heavy beer drinker and would use beer to coat my stomach and mask the symptom. Well one year later i'm trying it again and the [censor] are ridiculous. I go at least twice a day and am amazed at what i see come out. I haven't eaten half of that stuff in months. lol. But seriously The only thing I have so far, 3 days in, is the [censor] and the effects of [censor] so much. I drilled one of my hoes yesterday and she was well pleased. i also may be a lil immune to the other side effects because I have been Using other Products that work well also. I use Cialis, Viagra, and I take Cobra Pills every day. So my only problem is that I [censor] like a mad man and don't have enuff women to please. If I get the hives and the heart issues I'll know which one to stop. And considering the fact that there are only 4 pages of complaint and thousands of people using this stuff I would say that you guys are part of the unlucky few and that everybody should do their own research.

Its hard to believe that a product like Extenze is getting so many conplaints. The pill is still on the market and im pretty sure if the affects are so adverse then their would be more on it instead of on a blog site. I just started to take the pill about 2 hrs ago. I will repost when i come to an conclusion

I recently purchased a one week trial of extenze. I later found out, that by purchasing the one week trial, that I am now going to have monthly shipments on auto-ship. I only wanted to try the one week trial, not have the product shipped to me every month. Is there anything that I can do about this?

I have been taking extenze for 6 weeks and have not noticed any of the side effects listed here. No bumps on my member, no heart palpatations, nothing. I feel just fine, i sleep fine, everything is fine. I have increased stamina and libido. My girth increased a bit after the first two weeks but that could be due to better erectile quality. No increase in length yet, but I plan to go 4 months.
