Describe your use.

I have been taking a few ECA's prior to every workout for YEARS now. I am going to try my ass of this week to give it up..........THIS will definitley SUCK

why are you quitting? If you don't mind me asking.

I've felt like this for about 6 months now:

Lethargic/generally malaised once the kick "wears off". It's to a point now where if I am NOT on any sort of ephedra, I feel like a damn zombie.

I also noticed that coffee in the am for me does SHIT anymore.

My adrenals have to be SHOT and my CNS has taken a beating from my "mild abuse" of these stims.

Just trying to be responsible for my body's sake. I feel like if I don't have the stims, there is NO way I will have an adequate enough amount of energy to w/o.

Oh....and my metabolism seems to be very sluggish as of late as well.........I just don't "feel" right anymore.

I was taking ephedra for almost a year straight. It wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be to come off. Maybe the first day or so was uncomfortable, then after that it was no problem. Hopefully it will be as easy for you. Good luck.

I use them atleast 3x a week, and for the most part have for years now...But the side effects can be pretty bad (though I too can drag around without them...though anymore I can drag my ass around even WITH them )

ive been taking them for about 5 years straight, most summers, i do them 3 times a day.

usualy, every few months, i will try to workout with out it, but its hard. after last summer, i stayed off for about 3 months. when i went back on, it was insane, i felt like i was on meth!

I haven't been off them in years for maybe just a few weeks at a time. Even when I'm not in cutting phase taking them every day 2 times a day I was taking them for pre-workout.
