    Default ephedrine question

    Been taking ephedrine for just over 3 weeks now and I was wondering how long can I take it before taking a break? And how long should I break from it. Anyone who knows please post some more info on the timing.

    I would like to lose about 4-6 lbs more, lost just over 4 so far. I'm using it to work out more I'm not starving myself, still eating healthy 4-6 meals a day.

    Thanks .

    I like ephedrine because it's an effective appetite suppressant and stimulant. I know it won't have signficant results in terms of fat burning by itself, but it helps motivate me to go to the gym and curb the junk food cravings, and that makes it worth it to me.

    Anyway, you can take it basically as long as you want. There was a study that I don't have time to find right now, but essentially you will get used to the stimulant effect, but the fat-burning qualities will continue. I take Primatene and usually don't take more than a dose in a day because otherwise it keeps me away. I usually forget to take it on weekends. I figure this allows me to reap the benefits without my body adapting to it.

    I thought Ephedrine was illegal now? Or something? They took Xenadrine off the market.

    I feel embarrassed to admit this, but I took Xenadrine in hs. It worked but I started passing out and it was not something I'd ever give to anyone I cared about! Be careful and take under the recommended dosage!

    EphedRA is illegal. Ephedrine (the synthetic form) is legal, as long as it's sold in doses of 12.5mg or less. Most people take Primatene or other OTC asthma med.

    Essentially, two Primatene tablets has the same amount in it as a serving of Hydroxycut (when it had ephedra, a serving being 3 pills). I take one Primatene and half a caffeine pill in the morning, and another in mid-afternoon if I need a pick-up. The nice thing is that a month's supply (60 tablets) is only $8, compared with $54 for Hydroxycut. Wish I'd known that a few years ago!

    ^ so.. is it relatively safe? except i dont like the hyper feeling. i just started taking dexatrim max and i definately am way less hungry, with none of the jumpiness or anything. i dont want that cracked out feeling, it brings back bad memories.

    I do feel pretty wired when I take it. But probably no more so than I would be after a couple cups of coffee (I'm not a coffee drinker). On the other hand, I also usually feel very cheerful while taking it!

    No actually I cant lose weight if I'm not working out, I used to be able to lose weight but well I'm not 18 anymore, taking ephedrine motivates my ass to work out and when I'm working out I'm not just hanging around the gym, and I dont have weird cravings either, I am not dieting, I'm eating healthy , even having a bit of ice cream or candy sometimes, I cant diet if I start to diet after a week I will buy a bucket of ice cream and eat it in about 10 mins. I only lost 4 lbs because I went on a trip and went to restaurants and had some drinks and didnt work out, but I'm back home now and back on track.


    Thanks aviendha, I have 1 box left I will finish that off and see how much more I will lose by then, I only take 1 pill in the morning, I'm not taking caffeine with it, I just have a coffee about 30 mins after the pill.
