Pamabrom to cut weight

has anyone used this to help cut weight? I use caffeine on a regular basis and have been taking gnc's waterex, but I don't feel like the waterex really does much. Everyone recommends dandelion, but I am afraid to try that since I am allergic to ragweed. I guess another option with the caffeine, is just to take a caffeine pill every 4 hours for the day before to try to cut the weight. Also, would combining all of this be overkill? The waterex has electrolytes so I think that could actually help prevent dehydration. I am 3lbs away from weight on an empty stomach for a weigh-in step on the mat type competition(I dieted down the rest of the weight). Previously I have had issues with sweating it out(in a sauna or using a sauna suit) so I wonder if peeing it out the night before would be better? For me sweating it out was beyond discomfort, my heart started racing and I felt faint and started throwing up so I stopped the cut early. I think my heat tolerance just sucks.

If you get habituated (addicted/tolerant) of caffeine its effect is reduced severely - I recommend reading some studies and more carefully applying caffeine, not just consuming it willy nilly.

That is what I thought. Do you think this would effect pamabrom? I think I read somewhere that it is a by product of caffeine or something. but anyway, on an empty stomach this morning I was 2lbs away from weight. doesn't look like i will have time to go to the sauna anyway, hopefully i will be able to just pee it out with a pamabrom. I don't want to make myself too sick for a step on the mat type weigh in, but it would suck to miss weight by a few pounds. i figure weigh in, try to drink some pedialyte if i can, I should be good as long as it's only a few pounds.
