ECA stack for women

williamske

New member
So i'm starting an eca stack this week. I have 8 Mg tabs of ephedrine hcl (e) and 200Mg tabs of caffeine (c). I think i'm gonna leave the aspirin out. Anyway, i've read several different dosing levels online, but none consider size or sex.

135lb female 5'4.

When I wrote to the guy I got them from he said to do only 1e and .5c three times a day and only cycle for two Weeks at a time to give adrenal receptors a rest. But this advise differs greatly from anything you read online when googling '8mg ephedrine hcl dosing'.

To sum up, a lot of sites instruct you to slowly build up your tolerance to 3e and 1c multiple times a day, which would be consistent with what the ideal eca stack is (25mg ephedrine and 200Mg caffeine). Cycling off after 8-12 Weeks of use.

Can someone post dosage recommendations? I would sincerely appreciate it! Thanks everyone.

man..idk why the conflicting advice...I always went for 25/200/80 (I like to chew on baby aspirin what can I say)

I know of plenty of people that substitute stuff out like say...white willow bark instead of aspirin..or like green tea tabs instead of caffeine tabs
hell...I even saw an interesting stack comprised of non E lipo6 with some ephedrine

I handle stims really well and always stuck to a morning and early afternoon dosing...sometimes just a single late morning dose




I'd say start low to see how you feel on it because some people really don't react well and build up to the dosing you see everywhere
 
I'd start low too and just cycle up if you can handle it. I have a high caffeine tolerance but look like a crack head on 25 of ephidrine. I agree more with the longer term use and wouldn't cycle off after 2 weeks. The other thing to keep in mind is that your body does adjust to the stims so just because you don't feel it, doesn't mean it isn't working. :)
 
I took three doses today...1e and .5c.

Felt good. Definitely energized and got a shit done at work lol

There is no need to post identical threads in different sections...

I responded to your other thread in the anabolic section. We have a female section for a reason - please keep your questions with us, unless we are unable to help, which is not very often.
 
Ok, no problem. Someone can delete the other one...it's all good. I just wanted to know if the dosage you suggested was taken once or three times a day?

Sent from my SGH-T989 using EliteFitness
 
That's total for a day. I hope you wouldn't load your nervous system with 24mg ephedrine at once..
 
So how did you dose it if you didn't take the 24Mg of e all at once, but took three doses?

this thread inspired me to pick up some E today cuz I haven't had any in a while

thanks for that :)
 
I dosed the following for two days:
2e 1c
1e .5c
1e .5c

Today I dosed:

What about your brain? Lol. I stacked the last couple days, but only once per day coz I'm afraid to do more than that. And my head feels "funny", like I got dumb or something. It's hard to describe; I'm functional, etc. but my brain just feels whacky. :) and then there's the jittery thing I get too. I did sweat like a banshee, both days that I took it. But I'm not sure I'm gonna stick it out. We'll see.

Ephedrine does give me that "I'm on drugs" feeling too. It passes in a week. Your body gets use to that stuff very quick.

And you'll sweat like a mofo.

I say to stick with it for a few weeks. You'll end up living it and realizing that all other fat burners are pretty much bullshit.
 
ephedrine barely touches me...I blame it on the fact that my first full time job at 18 was at a GNC and we'd eat returned stims like candy

ohh how sad I am my ex threw away like 7 bottles of xenadrine I had :( expired or not
 
I took the previously stated stack today still no negative side effects. Should I increase my sack tomorrow?

Adrenals burn out quickly. I use to pop ephedrine like candy too. It took me 10 years to recover and become sensitive again.

Cycle it in 4 week intervals and keep in mind that you don't have to feel sides for it to be working. I wouldn't go over 75mg each day.
 
I'm just wondering if I should up it to 3e 1c now three times a day? Our maybe mix it up... 3e1c x2 and then maybe 2e 1c. Or keep it at 2e 1c three times a day?

This is what I have done since starting:

Started eca stack on 13 April

Day 1: 1e .5c
Felt fine.

Day 2: 1e .5c x3
Felt fine. High energy.

Day 3 and 4:
2e 1c
1e .5c x2
Felt fine...had energy. Good workouts.

Day 5 and 6:
2e 1c
2e 1c
1e .5c
Felt fine. No jitters.

Day 7: ?

It has not effected my mental state of mind...

Ok so I dosed 3e 1c twice today. First dose I felt fine and had a good workout. Second dose has me feeling depressed though...so i'm not doing the third dose...

Any experience with this side effect?

Are they 8mg pills? If so, start increasing the dose.
 
Depression? Hmmmm...never heard of ephedrine causing this. It's chemical makeup/structure is similar to amphetamine and methamphetamine. Aka when I take as high as are made adderall, I feel focused and happy...

Long term overdose of ephedrine, if you google this, can cause a series of side effects including some mental disorders...that's what I've learned through research. Not saying you're gonna turn into a schizophrenic or anything, but you know.

I am 5'10" and naturally in the 190s and 24mg ephedrine a day is perfectly fine for me and it's even the usual recommended dose. Don't be so gung-ho about raising the dose just because you can't fly or have an instant six pack. Seriously. This is getting out of hand.

Keep it at 24mg. Whether you're 'feeling it' or not it's still taking a toll on your body and heart. Do more research. That's my final honest opinion.
 
Its also that time of the month for me, maybe the depressed mode was linked to that.

I had no intentions of raising the dose, if anything I was gonna cut it back.

I'll try 3e 1c twice again today and report the results.

It can come with a crash. Even if you don't feel the "sides" it can cause that "crash" like feeling. I would take note of it and use it as a learning. Could be hormonal, could be you found your limit for how much in a day you can manage without the crash.
 
Uggghhhhhh this thread makes me sad. I LOVE ECA - but cant take anything right now! My daughter is 11 months and I am still breastfeeding. :) While I don't mind nursing, I do miss being able to take supps!!

How long do you plan on breast feeding for? Look on the bright side you are doing such an awesome thing for your little girls health :)

I'm torn. I don't have a driving desire to stop, but I am also pretty "done" with not having my body to myself. It's been almost 2 years (preg&bf) and I am ready to only think about me. :)

I still have about 15 lbs left to lose, but losing has been SO slow. Some of that is due to BFing because i cant cut calories too much or my supply will plummet.

I am ready to start taking a fat burner to help kill my appetite and even wanting to jump back into the harder stuff one day soon.

Dam that is a long time if you look at from an all total perspective. I know its great for the child but doing it close to a year a is a long time. I think my sister in law only made it to about 6 months.

Just my opinion:

Take an appetite suppressant, like N2Stim, rock your diet and cardio and beat the shit out of the gym.

You can do it, Girl.

I am damn proud of myself. I'll make it to a year even WITH working full time too. I'm pretty much a mommy rock star, lol. (kidding)

Maybe you don't get the concept of breast feeding what ever she eats drinks or takes is going to affect how she produces milk as well as what goes into her milk. You want her baby sucking on some milk with n2stim in it? NOT A GOOD IDEA AT ALL

Maybe you didn't read my post that sits 3 in front of yours. Had you, you wouldn't have posted this. I am well aware of the concept as I have children and a family.

You are a rock star :) In Canada you would still be on mat leave they give you a year for it. I think in the US you only get like a month or something silly.

This is true. I've done a lot of work in Canada and most of the folks that I've talked to there, laugh at our maternity leave "system". Doesn't each parent get a year?

As with most goverment stuff it's complex little system Pregnancy and Parental Leave | Ontario Ministry of Labour

You can collect EI when you are off which is a max $485 per week you have to have paid into the system for a certain amount of time don't remember exactly again goverment complexty

And sorry I didn't see the other reply. :)

I think each parent DOES get a year!

We get a whopping 6 weeks paid - if you have the time saved up. If not, it is unpaid. Nice, huh?

I was awesomely lucky - I am a teacher and I had her 2 weeks before the end of the school year. So I was out for 2 weeks (sick pay) and then still had the whole summer off. Superstar. :)
 
Ok I did 3e1c and 2e1c. I woke up late so i'm not doing a third dose.

I'm experiencing a little chest tightness right now. But I also worked chest shoulders and triceps today, so I don't know if it's because is that our the ephedrine.

Thoughts?

Chest tightness from an internal stimulant reaction is different from external muscle tightness...

When I know it's not a good time for ephedrine for me (like recently), it felt almost as if my chest was collapsing into itself, like someone was taking their hand and steadily pushing. But that's just me
 
I am going to cut back to 2e1c three times a day.

Does the mean 16mg of ephedrine 2 times per day? If it does, I agree that you shouldn't be running more than that.

That dosing would be 50mg per day. As a man that teeters back and forth at 200lbs, 75mg would be the most I would run. I also ran that dose when I was 160lbs. You are probably close to finding your sweet spot.
 
It is 16Mg of ephedrine with 200mg of Caffeine three times a day.

Should I only do it twice?

Dosing it twice like that would give me 32mgs of ephedrine total per day.

Of o dose it the times like that I would be at 48Mg total per day.....

I like it 3x per day and I don't think that your dose is too high either. Some would disagree.
 
Great thread ladies, I've been reading for my wife and I.

How is the ECA stack affecting your endurance and cardio? In the research I've done it's been mentioned that you shouldn't take ECA in the heat, or warm climates due to the thermogenic effect. It has also been mentioned that it should not be taken during high intensity workouts / activity. My wife and I are Crossfitters, so with the HIIT training and the temps in our gym, things get very hot quick. Thoughts?
 
I've found that my lifting suffers if I take ECA before the gym..I don't think thats a common experience though
my heart rate reacts really strongly to it now where as it didn't when I was younger
I havent done any cardio in probably 3 years..lol..so no help there
I'm about to add cardio back in and judging by my reaction to it during lifting I don't think I'll be taking ECA prior to it
 
I have found that taking 2e and 1 c three times a day is doable for me. That is approximately 16 milligrams of ephedrine and 200 milligrams of caffeine per dose.

My usual routine: 2 circuit training days with lifting and Cardio mixed in, 1 strength day, 1 power day and 1 HIIT/heavy bag day.

I have noticed that my heart rate goes up quicker on my circuit days. In an effort to not totally exhaust myself I just go lighter on the cardio between circuits and do the bike instead of the treadmill.

I have not done hiit for two Weeks.. I would imagine it would be difficult to do on ephedrine. I also read to limit your high intensity training while using ephedrine, but I love circuit training too much.

I'm going to weigh myself next week. I do not feel any lighter, but I do have increased energy. We shall see if ephedrine helped my plateau. My diet is in check and I started taking it on 13 April.
