Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I used to take Hydroxycut for a long time and never noticed this, but lately Ive been really anxious about stuff that for any other reason I would brush off, and have been extrememly worried about getting arrested for the lamest stuff. I dont smoke, and try not to drink but only on the weekends. I am currently taking Gut Cutter, Glutamine, Protein powder/bars, multivitamen, Flaxseed Caps, Glucosamine, and ZMA. I am guessing the increasing nature of my anxiousness is due to taking Ephederine again, any thoughts on this issue?

Anxiety
Im wondering more if the Ephederine is the culprit, not as much as what to take to keep it from happening. But if there are any OTC remedies that might work, let me know... Im not too hot about having on my record Im taking any sort of scripts that show a possible mental imbalance, unless that is the worst case scenario and I would be diagnosed with something (know what I mean??).

The only times I've experienced anxiety that really affected me in a negative way was during the times that I was not on ephedrine.
I've felt anxiety while on ephedrine, but it was more of a good anxiety, like I could take on the world and I was itching to get to the gym.
The anxiety I felt while I was off, I believe was a mental manifestation of subconcious stress I was putting on myself from work. Nasty feeling too, I was sweating, my heart racing and I was having trouble breathing..............all the while I was taking no supplements whatsoever.

Ephedrine used to be my favorite drug. Cycled it for ~ 5-8 years.
A few years ago, I stayed on too long and I think I was phsyiologically addicted to it. I had a bitch of a time through withdrawal. Freakin' lethargic. I had to start taking it in the morning just to get to work (not the gym).
Anyways, ever since then, I've definetely noticed my anxiety go up whenever I take it. I still take it now though on occasion. I feel that if I don't have a stomach full of food, my energy takes a nosedive. Then my attitude.
Sorry I can't say how to avoid it. I just try to not take it anymore myself.

I started taking paxil a few months ago
. Dont do it. i used to be a literal every day gym goer, but while i was on it it made me lazy as hell. i just recently went to my doctor and had him switch my meds. i was always tired on the paxil and i put on negative weight. now that i am opn effexor xr i hope things are better. i would say that if you go onto any SSRI i would definately stay away from effedrine. the combination of the two could have really bad effects. hope this helps

My Experience with ephedrine:
Bro, I have a serious problem with ephedrine. The first week on i feel invincible. Like a million bucks. Never tired and could do 2 workouts in a day. The second week i start punching things and getting mad over stupid shit. by the end of the second week i get severe depression, dizziness and pains in the chest. that scared feeling you get when you thought that mack truck was coming straight at you, i would get that feeling for no reason at all. everyday stress became intensified, like it was the end of the world, it go to the point where i became afraid of what i might do to myself if i stayed alone. this happened one time a long time ago with Up Your Gas. i just never put 2 and 2 together. now i know its from ephedrine.
If I were you i would get off the shit fast before it gets any worse. it took 4 to 5 full days before the chest anxiety pains completely went away. the ups from hydroxy was not worth the downs. i gave them to my buddy and he can take 8 caps at a clip and deosn't feel a thing off them except energy and a little jitters. So jealous, it just doesn't agree with my body and sounds like its not for you either. I hope this helps.
