Ephedrine

[alycat]

I was once addicted to ephedrine (for 2 years). When they labeled it as 'illegal' in Canada, I stocked up and found someone to sell it to me... 'under the counter'. Then they took it off the shelves in the US as well. It tool me a good 3 weeks to feel normal again. And I never want to take it again. However, I miss the energy it gave me, I miss the way it totally curved my appetite. I know I don't need this. However, if there is something that could give me a little push for the 5 am cardio session, I would consider it. any advise.

Ephedrine HCl can be easily found in Canada

HERE for instance

How about just a cup of very strong coffee? Brew it at home and drink it when you get up and on the way to the gym.

Ephedrine will always be available in the U.S., if you know where to look for it. Bronkaid is readily available as an OTC asthma med. and contains 25mg Eph per tab. Primatene tabs contain 12.5 mg Eph per tab.

Bronkaid is almost always cheaper too per 25 mg of ephedrine.

I can get them in 8 mg at the GNC...
I also found that I would break out (zity) I was told that it might be the chromium.

That is what I was thinking.... I was under the assumption that she wanted something OTHER than Ephedrine - hence, my coffee suggestion.

 

[alycat]

Yep, you are both right, I DO NOT want to use it again.
I was just saying that I am aware that you can still get it in Canada, however only 8 mg (and I'm sure in higher mg as well). it was in regards to davyboys and Anthrax's comment. I know that if you really want them you can find them. My question was, is there anything that has then energy benefit that ephedrine has. I HATE coffee, I have never had more then one cup in my hole life. Thanks for the suggestion though. This is not a big deal, thought you pros might have a little secret is all

Ok I did some research ... sounds good.
found this info on a web page. do you agere with the dosage? how long until I feel a difference? does anyone use L-Tyrosinethis on this board? what kind of difference do you notice?
what does it cost (ball park)

thanks to all who replied...

the following is from a website...

L-Tyrosine is used to treat conditions including depression or mood disorder, poor coping ability, fatigue, low sex drive, low metabolism, and drug abuse (when combined with Tryptophan). It can also improve endurance under stress and is effective as an appetite suppressant. When taken properly, L-Tyrosine can assist a sluggish thyroid and aid the dieter in losing excess, unwanted pounds.

The suggested dosage for healthy adults ranges from 500 to 1500 mg per day.

Your answers can be found in my post above. I put several links to threads about it.

I also took ephedrine to give me a boost when I worked out and I can only give my opinion but, there really is nothing else that is going to give you that same kind of energy. There are other things but that ephedra really has a distinct feeling. I have tried xenadrine, lipo6 liqiud caps, gugglabolics trimspa
and so on and nothing matches. I would take the strong coffee advice or try the caffine pills. I think next I am going to try HOTROX or xenadine NRG. By the time I am done I will be able to write a book on all the fatburners.
GOOD LUCK
