Question on Pseudoephedrine

[Smokescreen]

What is it? Does it work like ephedrine? I know it is a nasal decongestant. But if I take pseusoephedrine...will I be wired up as if I were to take ephedrine?

i think it is in a few of the newer fat burners but i dont think its as potent

No

when ephedra was banned i started taking sudafed (psuedoephedrine) and found that i am getting better results with fewer side effects - (let me say that i am not a hardcore bodybuilder but a guy who is aging - 54 years of age - and want to keep my bodyfat and weight down - went from a 44 waist 3 years ago to 36 waist today) - even better results when combined with caffine and acetyl l-carnintine....

OH no! Wait up guys! I do NOT want to take this for fat burning. I want to take this because sometimes my nose gets stuffy. I want it for its main purpose. But I do not want to take it, get a better unstuffed nose, but end up all fucking wired up like ephedrine.

So what you are saying is that I WILL be wired up on this stuff?????? I read somewhere that a guy takes viagra and ends up all congested. But that when he takes a decongestant, it all goes away. That is what I want to do. But NOT be wired!!!

Take it for congestion, no worries. It won't affect the sympathetic nervous system like ephedrine.

Sure about that bro?

Yep...technically speaking...pseudoephedrine MAY slightly elevate your heart rate and blood pressure - but certainly FAR less than ephedrine would (and much less than, say, adrenaline would). Think of it as a sliding scale.

Dilation of bronchial passages and increased metabolic rate simply doesn't occur to any significant degree with pseudoephedrine.....the effects of ephedrine however, are very noticeable. The pseudoephedrine is simply an effective nasal decongestant....nothing more.

It's also worth mentioning that the "wired" feeling attributed to ephedrine comes from the synergystic effect of combining it with caffeine.....i.e., in the absence of caffeine, the jolt is much less noticeable.

Yea i took some expectorant today with a cup of coffee and felt really wired. So if i had taken this without the coffee the effects would have been less?
