Prolonged ephedrine use

[R-Money]

What is the longest some of you go/have went using ephedrine for?

[Thechamp]

8-16 mg ephedrine for 6 weeks two-times a day!

[Delt King]

I've done 6 months and came down with major adrenal fatigue. I wouldn't recommend that long to anyone.

I went for 6 months too and got very sick.

[Ritch]

3 months using 24mg 3 times a day. Took me a good 4 weeks to feel like myself again after.

Ritch, When did you start using 24mg?

[warlock]

2 years ECA stack ****ed my adrenals forever

[Ritch]

Ritch, When did you start using 24mg?

This was a long time ago. First time I ever did that I was around 18 getting ready for a photo shoot. I haven`t done 24 mg consistently in a long time. Last time I took that much it was too much.

In my hayday (1993-2000)..... when Dymetadrine 25 (ephedrine HCL) came out and before we knew much about ephedrine me and my roomates took it on a daily basis (25-75mg a day) for years---before workouts and to study. We still talk about the hopes of not doing some sort of damage. I remember getting my sister to grab me a CASE of minithins from the truck stop on her way back from florida.

[Scaffer]

I used to mega dose epherdrine 5times a week(32-40mg/400mg caf) Now,for 2 weeks im doing 8mg/100mg every 2hours up to 6-7times daily.
Then ill take 2-3weeks off.

[Scaffer]

might stop today so i dont have to start a new bottle!

Scaffer how do you feel when doing 8mg/100mg every 2 hours? I'm on my 3rd week on EC and now my body is starting to feel drained and shitty

[Scaffer]

Seriously,i feel great, my cravings are under control,more energy,i feel that my mood is affected as well but its the aftermath that i fear,when ill completely stop caff and epher...thats not going to be a fun 2-4days(withdraws).

Yup that one of my fears too!! The aftermath is going to suck ass so much! a guy at the gym told me to slowly decrease the dosage and the aftermath won't be that bad

[Praetorian]

Ive posted this many times before....ephedrine or otherwise ECA stack will mess with your adrenals in a huge way. Most guys dont see this before its too late...and everyone knows everything so they do not heed this advice. If you use ephedrine be prepared for the side effects and they are not nice.

see thats the worse,we know but its like when reading a book for school,you can read fast and to get a glimpse so you know a bit or you can really dig it so it as no secret for you.

Same goes for epherdrine use..we know it
-mess with the cns
-bloop pressure
-hyperglycemia
-confuse

and the list is big yet we still do it.
I know its wrong but @#%% I like the result.

[Scaffer]

ahah!...just realize im kinda pathetic! :o
Lets not give up,diet is the key!

[Sean Summers]

50mg Ephridrine and 200 mg caffeine 3 x per day for my 4 years of university. Didn't seem to harm me.

[agingtechie]

I have been talking 25 HCL with 200mg caffeine before workouts (Mon-Wed-Fri) for about 3 weeks. I can't take ASA at all.

How big a problem can it cause? What should I watch out for? Should I be looking at some kind of adrenal supplement or, just stop taking it?

[physique]

here too. i used it for 2 years straight at 25mgs a day. when i finally stoppped it took me 3 months to feel normal in the gym.
i still use the stuff today, but here and there and usually 8-16mgs

Taking it the way you are is fine. If you`re looking for an adrenal supplement, l-tyrosine is your answer.

[bigtavi8]

10 weeks at 80mg per day. Got sick as a ****ing dog tho.

Dame bro!...80mg of ephedrine/ED for 10 weeks:shock.....i could barely handle 25mg/ED too much hand tremors for me lol...i find albuterol helps me cut better than ephedrine and way less sides too...

[kawikaratekid]

80mg's, wow!! How shakey were you?

[physique]

thats nothing. QOD some members may recall from canadian juice monsters site use to take 75mgs 3 times a day. and she was only 5ft tall and maybe 150lbs

[kawikaratekid]

She must have been bouncing around like a twitchy hooker on a Saturday night.

[ELCANADA]

80mg's, wow!! How shakey were you?

Optimal dosing is 24mg/200mg (E/C) taken 2-3 times a day. Thats 72mg of ephedrine a day, so 80mg is not to bad.

Now 75mg three times a day is ****ing nuts.

[Scaffer]

..i think im going trough epherdrine withdraw,almost a week since i stopped and started having those little annoying head heck yesterday.

Shit that suck ass. I started lowering my dose of Ephedrine to 16 mg X 2 today. I feel great but on friday i had a crazy a** head heck. Hope everything get better soon!

[69challenger]

Were you stacking it with caffeine? Could also be caffeine withdrawl.

ya 200mg of caffeine but no A just the EC

[Cass]

I just recently stopped taking EC. I was taking 24mg E/ 200mg C twice a day for almost 3 months. Worked awesome, but I stopped because I was severely depressed, I never hated my life so much ever. I thought it was just because I was going through a bit of a rough time so I didn't even think about it but a buddy of mine said I should try goin off the EC cuz it can do that to you... Within a couple days the intensity of my depression was gone. I've been off it for about 2 weeks now, and I'm feeling just the regular amount of stress/depression that I would think is normal in my situation. Tired as fack all the time now but I'm sure that will go away soon as well!

[Rhinobolt10]

I was fairly dumb with Ephedrine when I was a kid, like 15-17, this was back in the 25mg days, I'd take a lot before a hockey game... like over 100mgs at a time, can't remember how much exactly.

I've seen guys just pour some in their hands and down them, no clue how much. I've heard of pro hockey teams that had salad bowls full of it and guys would grab a handful before they went on the ice.

Stupid I know, and while I'm fairly positive if had some really negative effects, I can't honestly say. I'd say I suffered pretty heavily from adrenal fatigue, but I also just hated school back then and always slept in cause I really didn't want to go...

Now a days, I keep some ephedrine in my bag... but I only bust it out for PR days or comps... it helps.

[gregdoucette]

about 10 years straight about 5 times a week. Lately though switched to ripped freak and it lasts alot longer.

[TommyG]

I don't find the 25/200 stack 3-4 times a day that bad. What people consider a large dose certainly has changed in the last few years.

[juced_porkchop]

8-16mg ed with 200-300mg caffine ed for 6-8weeks

[grader]

not sure how much damage im doing to myself when i cycle it, i usualy take 48mg with 200 caffeine and an aspirin 3 times a day so 144 mg per day for 4-5 weeks at a time. the longest i ever took ephedrine was probably about 4 months i ramped up to 64 mg 3 times per day during that stretch, took me about 2 months to recover from it

[juced_porkchop]

you guys are nuts! lol

agreed, i can't even take the full dose or i start to feel sick. Can't believe how strong the Freak is

[BCprick]

4 yrs

[R-Money]

4 yrs

you should try exercise sometime too.

[R-Money]

I've been on for almost a year now but 40mgE/400mgC seems to have almost no stimulating effects anymore. However it lets me breathe like nothing else which is why I really don't want to cycle off.
