    Default ECA stack

    After reading some of the threads on here, I am thinking of trying an ECA stack to give me a boost to start losing weight.

    I am not sure where to get the ephedrine though...do I need to buy something like Primatine tablets, or can I get just the ephedrine?

    Also, where would I find caffiene pills? I have never seen them in a regular store.

    They sell caffiene at gas stops, grocery stores, etc. They're right next to the sleep aids. As far as ephedrine, not sure where you should get it but if you don't have a breathing problem you probably shouldn't be taking the asthma medication. It has other meds in it you probably shouldn't take on a daily basis if you don't need it.

    I agree. That's why I would like to find just the ephidrene if I can.

    You are aware the ephedrine not only raises blood pressure but can cause damage to your heart, correct?

    Scary shit, a combo of too much ephedrine and caffeine can cause heart palpitations. I already have a naturally hypertachycardia. My heart beats over 100 bpm even when I'm resting, so stuff like that has caused me to go over the edge. But it doesn't work on me anymore. Still...dangerous if not used very carefully.

    Why not just take one ephedrine pill with a cup of coffee and a bunch of water? I use Mini Thins, they have ephedrine in them. Then again, so does Sudafed. And so does Claritin-D, which gives me palpitations.

    I have also considered going back on phentermine (it's been about 9 years since the last time). The ECA seems like it is less intense though.

    Actually, ephedrine is a synthetic (more stable) compound of ephedra and while it does raise the heart rate, it's less likely to cause damage than ephedra was.

    You can just buy Primatene tablets, and they sell caffeine tablets online for pretty cheap (vitaminshoppe.com, for one). The Primatene tablets are also 12.5mg per dose, so one whole Primatene tablet and one half caffeine tablet is essentially half a dose. You can start with half doses to see how your body responds, and then work your way up to a full dose.

    Incidentally, if ephedrine were *that* dangerous, I doubt they would still be putting it in cold medicine and asthma medicine. If you have any heart issues, then by all means avoid it. But it isn't going to make you any speedier than a couple cups of strong coffee.

    That said, you WILL feel pretty hyper for the first few weeks until your body adjusts. I found that I talked super fast and was very wired. (I don't normally drink a lot of caffeine.) On the other hand, I also found I was in an especially good mood and got a lot of work done!

    Generally speaking, I started with a half dose, which I took around noon (since I'd go to work out about 3). This killed the 2pm nap craving and yet didn't interfere with my sleep. When I worked up to a full dose, I took the first upon waking and the second about 2pm.

    aviendha how much weight did you lose and over what period of time, did you diet? I just started ephedrine yesterday and I'm very curious how it will work for me. Thanks.

    I didn't diet reliably enough to see any significant results. It does kill the appetite very effectively and give you a pleasant amount of energy. But the ECA stack is famous for being truly effective, so there's plenty to be found on people's experiences.
