Nelson, I'm "hooked" on ephedrine...HELP!

[marshallmadman]

I have been taking different forms of ephedrine almost daily since 1995. I know, I know, you're surprised that I'm not dead yet. I hear it almost daily. I want to get off ephedrine permanently, but it's almost like I "need" it, to make it through a typical day at work. Are there any supplements the you would recommend to help get my cranium back where it should be? I am sure that ephedrine depletes assorted chemicals in the brain that control energy, sense of well being, and etc. Rock on, Nelson. This is the only forum that I check with any regularity anymore....

From what I'v read, L-Tyrosine potentiates it, so my guess is that you'd be able to start tapering down your dosage of ephedrine while adding L-Tyrosine.

It was a while ago, but I the article I read said something to the effect that 1000 mg a of L-Tyrosine lets you cut your ephedrine dosage almost in half. Plus, L-Tyrosine is good for your brain anyway supposedly. I would research L-Tyrosine if I were you.

Nelson what's your take on L-Tyrosine combined with ephedrine?

- EOR

And I'll bet after all that time, you STILL haven't lost the fat you wanted to. This is the problem with ephedra that I've been talking about for years.

I'd suggest cutting the ephedra in half and start taking two other supplements; ZIP -- which contains a good amount of acetyl L Tyrosine -- and a brain formula like Liporexin. (Yep, that's right -- an AF product. You see, even though ulter wants to take the low road and knock a competitors products without even being familiar with them, I'm okay with recomeneding something that I think can help.)

If you really start getting massive headaches, add a Red Bull, but no more than one a day.

You may feel crappy for a while but in the long run you may actually lose more fat. Hang in there.

i am AGAINST ECA/ECY fatburners because of this likely going off track.
You may cut the dosage until you quit while in the meantime boosting your CNS with NADH or NAD ( i suggest NAD, cheaper at at least 3 tabs at once ), which hold some benefits of cocaine ( or so they said. good products ).

Nelson, I knew you would use this opportunity to jump up on the soapbox about one of your products. Just kidding, man. I originally started taking ECA because of all the hype surrounding its supposed fat burning properties. When I figured out that it did nothing for fat burning other than make you eat slightly less, it was too late. I was hooked. I have a severe case of adult ADD so the ephedrine really helps me to get started on tasks, and get them done. Perhaps I should seek out prescription medication for this problem, but I really have a bad attitude toward doctors.
Thanks to all for posting up. Perhaps I'll give Zip a try in the future. Right now I am using EAS Kickstart. It has 3 grams of L-Tyrosine, 400 mg. of Alpha GPC, and 199 mg. of Caffeine. I have to say, ever since Bill Phillips ripped me off on HMB, I haven't even considered purchasing any EAS products. This one seems to be pretty good, though. I do have major headaches from it. Every morning I feel hung over. What is causing this problem?

If you need help coming off, just think about how over worked your adrenal glands are.. they need a break. you might puff up.. this could be due to a lack of cortisol since your body will be in the recovery mode.
