Ephedrine Pros & Cons?

I've been doing a little research on ephedrine.

Anyone have any experiences with this drug that they'd like to share?
 
I take it for my allergies....

and its required to make crystal meth. Thus a moderately controlled substance.
 
I was one and done with it bro... xenadrine when i was 18... heart skipping beats and i even paased out at a concert and then it fucked me up with anxiety... i wont go near it personally
 
I took it with my last cycle last year and (although was bronkaid) and was fine with it.

I started it again 2 weeks ago m-f off on sat and sunday...yesterday I chose to stop it all together. I was having a very very hard time breathing, my chest has been hurting and my heart rate has been very rapid. I even tried cutting it in half..same results. I think I'm done for good with it.
 
I've used it in the past. Everyone is going to respond differently to different compounds. Key is to start small and work your way up to assess tolerance. Too much, too soon and you're asking for problems. I haven't felt the need for it though. Nothing beats good old fashion diet and cardio.
 
some respond better than others... i wont go near it... to me, its not worth it whatsoever...
 
We used to get real Ephedrine in the 90's and do the ECA stack before training and one time one of my boys almost had to be brought to the hospital because his heart wouldn't slow down and it was beating so hard. He had to lay on the floor for an hour. The worse was after popping some Eph, 325 Mgs Aspirin and 200 mgs Caffeine we would also get a cup of coffee from Starbucks on the way to the gym. Those were some stupid insane days. I did have a couple of clients who maxed out their BF loss and tried doing the stacks first thing in the AM before Cardio and they dropped crazy BF! But it all cam back!!!
 
Oh wow... Those are all interesting responses. Anyone know why they add asprin to the mix in ECA? Seems unnecessary
 
Like Dylan said , works well for some . Not for all, plus your body gets used to it . I was taking twice what was recommended, & still some times not even feeling it. Scary when you take that much.
 
Aspirin is for the BP , use a baby aspirin if you can it's like 84 mg.(St Joseph) You can even just take a fish oil tab & it serves the purpose .
 
I never had any side effects on it but I would probably never run it again... I think it's over hyped and the risks are greater than the reward. I think the big one back in the day was "ripped fuel" or something but there's a reason it was pulled from the shelves(heart attack). If you're going the Primatene (ephedrine hcl) route I'd say it's a waste of money and not worth it.

Yeah ,ripped fuel had the Mauhung in it, along with the first stacker stuff. That shit was strong!!!

They might tell you that when you but it at the pharmacy but its not true at all. One time the pharmacy tech tried to explain to me why I had to sign for it (not like i asked why because i didn't) and i had to school her on it.

It can be useful but honestly its probably more trouble than its worth. It is very good for combating lethargy during heavy cycles but you really need to start at a low dose and know what you are doing, moniter HR and BP ect.
 
I dont really have negative affects on the ECA stack, and would much prefer to run that when cutting then something like Clen...Now that shit fucks me up and makes me a jittery mess.

I usually only do the stack 2x a day (as opposed the recommended 3)..Usally around 6am and again at like 2pm. Any later than that and I wont be sleeping.
 
Dont take asprin with it as asprin lowers inflammation which will slow muscle growth as well as cause other problems. With chronic use
 
... The aspirin is added to prevent blood clotting (which may be a side effect of ephedrine) and to aid in the signal transduction of ephedrine via prostaglandin inhibition.
 
**UPDATE**
I went ahead and tested out Primatene. Did 12.5mg Primatene/200mg Caffeine/81mg Asprin preworkout
Definitely felt a rush of energy, which resulted in a great workout.
Felt pretty edgy after my workout. It kind of reminded me of adderall. Also gave me a headache.
I may give it just one more try to be sure, but I'll more than likely drop this stuff. Seems the negative sides out weighed the positives.

yes, it likely will not be something you like bro but try it one more time and then make your decision... likely the cons will highly outweigh the pros.. .thank you for sharing the experience bro....
