I don't have to remind you about Utah being infamous for "food supplements" and "herbal diet remedies" (often sold via MLMs and pyramids) that can contain real drugs.
A coworker of my husband's lost 35 pounds in a month two years ago, on one of those miracle-herbal diets, then almost died from the complications of the drugs he was unknowingly ingesting.
While he was taking [I can't remember the name, darn it!], he was jumpy, couldn't sit still, talked a mile a minute, couldn't focus on his job, but sure looked busy ... about what you're describing. And it was all caused by a supplement that was sold to him as all natural, compliant to the words of wisdom, safe because you don't need a prescription, blah blah blah.
(I'll ask if perhaps Steven was working in an MLM.....)
I believe you may be talking about Ephedra. I know of a case where a high school boy had taken it as a stimulant for his wrestling abilities and passed....very prominent in teens. Especially young girls with a weight issue. Bad stuff
