Ephedrine: You Sure You Want To Use It?

[xonic2xonic2]

In my very humble opinion any CNS stimulant in larger dosages (for example coffee/caffeine is one, 2-3 cups a day maybe OK) are ummmmmm not good for you, especially over extended periods of time.

I used to drink 10-14 cups of coffee a day I weened off but when I was clean I went into a bad state of depression, feeling tired all the time etc for about 6 weeks. I blame this on withdrawl from CNS stimulant.

I ran into a guy at the gym the other day who had been on ephedrine or perhaps ephedrine for a year straight. His doc pursuaded him to get off due to panic attacks/palpitations. He says that he kept coming down with flu like symptoms for a couple of months after quitting.

YES

actually psuedoephedrine is responsible for most of the negative sides of ephedra extract (the othe alkaloids may cause problems as well but typically thier levels are low)

pseudoephedrine can be nasty stuff, that's why personally I stick with the ephedrine hcl.. pseudo can cause seizures, cardiac arrhythmia and even kill you if you take too much of it.

I will still cycle ephedrine hcl, but like I said I personally don't think that stims are good for you, it's just a question of worth to me.

and what else was invovled?

My opinion its all about moderation and cycling.

I have taken pure ephedrine since 96 and have had zero issues.

 

[eviction]

did this guy mention the 8ball of coke he did prior to snorting 3g of ephedrine?

 

[biogeared]

I agree with bigdawg. Moderetion is the key.

I would never go higher than 50mg daily.

seem people ignore the effect of ephedrine on the heart....

sorry macro even though I still use it form time to time

the effects on the prostate in some and the heart in many legitimize a certain amount of warning........

illegal no, huge warning YES

From article: "Most people who take it are trying to improve their
health…but being dead isn’t very healthy"

A pretty thin argument presented...

And besides, I know plenty of very healthy dead people.

I have never had any problem with "ephedrine" and my heart, but "ephedra" is a different story. When I pop and ephedrine tab I know it is 25mg... with Ephedra... who knows.

Anyway, I have premenantly swore the stuff off anyway. Every time I use it for more than a week my prostate gets seriously aggravated.

That article didn't contribute anything. He should've listed his dosage, how long he's been using it, his other drugs, what predispositions he has to cardiovascular illnesses, his current health and things like that.
