Just started Xenadrine yesterday

[Y_lifter]

After 2 years of getting up at 04:50 am and going to the Gym, I was needing a little motivation and decided to give ECA a try.

I must say, starting with the 2 a day the stuff has made a quick and vast difference in my ability to be Motivated at that time in the morning. So far I also have not hit that sleepy wall at around 2 in the afternoon on the stuff...

Yes, I know the issues and should be OK with not abusing the stuff.... So far no side's and no one has asked me if I'm on Meth.

Anyone else still presently using this Old legal method of motivation?

I work graveyard shift and immediately after teach at the gym. There are some days that I would not be able to do without the help of ephedrine.

Is this your first time on any sort of ephedrine/ma huang product?

Yes,

I have used Caffeine but that's about it..
Other than me being carefull and the research of issues with too much and interaction , Why?

Just curious. I tried the ECA stack for the first time in '99, and thought it was the shit. I actually used to catch a little euphoric buzz. I still use it sometimes to stay awake and when I'm cutting, but it's a love/hate relationship. I don't like the way it twists up my stomach and dehydrates me. Also, it tends to put me in an irritable mood if I overdo it, and generally make me feel like crap. It will put a machine in you, though.

Incidentally, I'm about to pop a couple of "Stacker 3"s.

 

[Y_lifter]

I guess It's a good thing I waited a while to try the stuff as there is plenty of Info here in EF (GOD bless the ladies boards) about preventing those issues on ECA'S...

I take it with food, drink lots of water all day and yes I do feel a Buzz like all is right with the world and I am invincible...
I have noticed I dropping lots of body fluid like every 30 min...

There is a New Xen without Ephedrin but all the other stuff is still there. I'm curious if it works as well.

 

[beastboy]

I've been known to pop a couple adipo's from time to time

 

[WODIN]

I actually just went through a month of decaffenating my life. LOL!!!

No coffee, no eca, etc.... I haven't felt this good in a long time. I get a little tired around 6 pm but that's no biggie compared to the pain I was feeling from the dehydration of the ECA.

Further, I am now iin the AM workout club!

Wod, If you are a Crack(of dawn) virgin, it gets old real fast getting motivated in the am.. Especially at 5:30...

Caffeine can be as addictive as this board, and that's saying something getting rid of it completely...

While on the ECA, I have removed as much additional caffeine as I can.

 

[WODIN]

Y_lifter, by moving my work to 5:30 am and I actually sleep in about an hour longer now! Odd but true.

 

[Y_lifter]

It seems that Xen is not the weapon of choice...
Is it because it's overpriced?

Just took my Noon'er dose....
Lunch? TUNA x 2 cans please....

 

[polarpixie]

Gotta love that energy boost! But sometimes it'll make me feel queasy if I don't take a little bit of food with it.

DOT --- 4AM???? I'm going to faint. What time do you have to be at work 6AM???

A lot of people like it. I think it's overpriced and not as effective as some alternatives.

People should avoid stimulant combinations that utilize aspirin. Old school of thought was that it increased efficacy; newer studies show that it really doesn't do that much to increase effects, yet it significantly increases incidences of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Personally, I buy components separately and get a more kick-ass thermogenic than otherwise possible. Right now, I combine an epedrine tablet (60 mgs ephedrine alkaloids) with a 5 mg yohimbine cap and a 200 mg USP caffeine. I often halve these caps, as the full bump is pretty powerful. I put this stack together for less than $30 for 100 full doses (200 1/2 doses). At some point, I'd like to add about 50 mgs of 5-HTP plus 300-400 mgs of green tea polyphenols to it -- it would be unbelievable then.

I haven't seen the ingredients, but I highy doubt it. Ephedrine is by far the most powerful component of the stack.

Y_Lifter:

Try some Thermogen II if you want to try a cheaper alternative to Xenadrine. It's some powerful stuff.

Hey Y_Lifter, hows the Xenadrine going? Are you finding that it's making you more irritable at all?

 

[casavant]

I know that stuff makes me irritable as hell.

 

[Y_lifter]

Day 3... I just bumped it up from 2 a day, One in the morning and One at Noon, to 4 a day..

So far all is great. No bitchyness and my workouts have never been more intense. I don't want to leave the Y and come to work.
I'm feeling if anything superhuman and wired but not jittery like with caffeine

Lots and Lots of Water seems to help all around. I'm wearing out a path in the carpet at work going to the bathroom every 30 min.

The only side I have noticed is my Sleep is being affected..
I take the last dose at 2 in the afternoon and still feel wired at 9-10 o'clock at night and don't fall asleep as easy and as soundly...

 

[Ffactor]

I am going to give the Ephedrine free Xenadrine a shot.

 

[Y_lifter]

Post on this thread and let me know how it works..
That way I can cycle to that after a couple of months of the Eph

 

[Zebo]

Yeah, keep an eye on that. It screwed up my sleep patterns big time. That's just me though. I always woke up at exactly 3:15 am. Also, I couldn't handle the dehydration I got with it.

My wife took the Ripped Fuel - MaHuang Free and she liked it alot.

Just be careful........and good luck.

 

[polarpixie]

No bitchiness, that's good. Are you a big coffee drinker? Maybe I should quit drinking so much coffee when I take it, I have had very little patience with everyone around me lately.
