It's wise for you to have bp checked and monitored if you're going to use ephedrine. Maybe the first question to ask yourself is why you're interested in it to begin with. Then how large will the dosage be and will it be taken alone or in one of the stacks various manufacturers have concocted? In addition you should factor into what age group you belong
From what I've read, there are pro's and con's to it. It may help with energy and speed up the metabolism. But it may certainly elevate bp, a situation which can be dangerous for those individuals with a propensity for hypertension.
I'd have to rack my brain, but I remember reading a medical study indicating that the use of ephedrine would also contribute to testo suppression.
To answer your question, yes, I've used it but not while on a cycle. Good luck

50mg before workouts is VERY unlikely to cause any sides other than a slight increase in heart rate, increase in body heat, and potential insomina if taken later in the day.

overall, awesome stuff to boost workouts.

Here is some info for you

What is it and where does it come from?
Ephedrine, a stimulating herb that grows in arid regions of the world, goes by such names as: Mormon Tea, Ma Huang, Squaw Tea, and Herbal Ecstasy. The Chinese have been using ephedra for more than 5,000 years to treat the afflictions of the lungs. The main active chemical component of ephedrine is ephedrine, a beta-adrenergic agonist (increases heart rate and body temperature.)

Different strains of the herb contain different concentrations of ephedrine. The Chinese version is the more potent of the strains. Supplements of high quality ephedra are available from MuscleSurf.com
What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?
Ephedrine is a powerful stimulator that increases metabolism. Ephedra has been used widely to treat many conditions such as the common cold, asthma, and congestion of the bronchial tubes. Research conducted on this herb has shown that it has awesome implications for bodybuilders, weight-trainers, and athletes. Some of the incredible effects are weight loss, metabolizing (burning) fat, and muscle maintenance.
