Hi!

Im a newbie. I plan on getting on this ephedrine cycle to try and get off some of the extra 100 lbs I have. I've never been on ephedrine before and im a little apprehensive about it Cuz all that you get to read on ephedrine on the internet is scary. I want advice on the optimum and safest per day dosage to consume to get best weight loss results. If someone in here has tried ephedrine & caffeine lemme know. should be starting it soon but i dont wanna be ignorant. I know it can totally fuck me up. I need Help!

and Im desperate...

Hey Timbak,

sorry that you didn't get any responses yet...unfortunately I don't have the answers you want either. Hopefully somebody can help you... All I can say is that I don't like drugs and I hope you will find a way to lose the weight, without jeopardizing your health. We are all here for the same goal and try to motivate each other, even if we don't agree on the methods....but we will also voice our opinion if we feel that someone is on the wrong track and tries to lose weight in an unhealthy way. Having said all this, I hope that you will find the help and support you need.

I thought Ephedrine was banned?

so did I, but apparently it is still available...if you really want it, you can find it.

Hi. Ephedra is banned. Ephedrine HCL is legal. You can do a search & purchase pure Ephedrine, but a cheaper alternative is Vasopro which is sold for treatment of asthma over the counter and has Ephedrine & Guafinesin (SP?). Ephedrine causes bronchial dilation for easier breathing, the Guafinesin is a muscle relaxant and expectorant. Search for Vasopro..it's only like $6 for 48. I take one pill along with Stacker 2 - morning & noon...I can't take it later than noon or I'd be awake ALL NIGHT !

I used to take Hydroxycut w/Ephedra when it was still available and had really really great results. More than anything, the addition of ephedrine gives you the ability to work out harder, run longer & faster and overall feel really great. So..you burn more fat, build muscle. and...it makes you forget about food (my experience).

As far as how safe it is....I can't provide any information on that. I know that they say the worse part about it is that it can raise your blood pressure, so if you have ANY kind of heart condition or high blood pressure - I would NOT recommend it. I do not have any problems with that & my blood pressure and heart rate is always low...even right after I take it...but I'm in good shape from a fitness standpoint.

Either way - this is not a miracle potion...still requires healthy eating and lots of exercise. Alone, the pills will probably not do a THING.

I just started taking Ephedrine and it is really good so far. Can I tell you I miss Ephedra, but this is what I have to take to make up for it. I only take 3 a day 25 mg. 1 morning about 10am, 1 afternoon about 2 pm, and 1 at 6:00pm. It curved my craves soooooooooo much let me tell you... I have about 30 lbs to lose...and lost 4 lbs so far without the pills so the pills are giving my the jump start that I really need right now.

What happens when you stop taking it? Like will you get cravings back again, or is it a permanant thing, once you lose them you lose them?

Maybe i'm wrong here, but i can't believe no matter what you take that it will ever cause you to permentaly loose your cravings.

ptdirect · #11 (**permalink**) January 13th, 2005, 05:46 AM

you will be more hungry(its suppresses your appetite), You will be more tired but it will go away after a week or so.

When I stopped taking it I gained by 15lbs...not alot since it helped me lose 65lbs the first time around. In the begining I took metabolife (which was great) But now it is gone...and I had about 10-15lbs left to lose when they took it away. So I gained back 15lbs...now I have about 30 lbs to lose....

I used to take the metabolife and Ripped Fuel which it did help me to lose 70+lbs in less than 10 months but it also caused me to pass out a few times along with a few seizures. I know that we all want that extra boost and those cravings to be gone but in the long run I wouldn't advise anyone to take any form of Ephedra but if you do please be careful it has caused several deaths.

I have been on this stack and there are a couple things I have to tell you about it. It is very safe, more people die from tylenol or even peanuts yearly. caffeine/ephedrine is part of a very commonly used stack. One thing about it, it is a thermogenic when the two are mixed so it will make you feel a little hotter than usual, and you will be sweating more than usual, so you'll want to drink plenty of water. And caffeine is somewhat of a diuretic so it'll be making you pee a lot so you have to replenish that water. Good luck on your cycle.

Oops forgot the dosage. I would take 100 mg of caffeine with 25 mg of ephedrine 2 times daily. I would also take them when you wakeup and around 1 in the afternoon. They will keep you up all night if taken before bed. and i wouldn't recommend taking more than 6 weeks at a time or it'll lose its "kick". and if your paying more than 10 bucks for fifty 25mg tablets then your getting ripped off.
