Ephedrine HCL

[mrcommercial1]

Recently acquired some Ephedrine and was wondering how i should be taking it. Right now i am taking 3 (8mg) pills in the AM and then 3 more in the afternoon before the gym along with a 200mg caffeine pill.
Any suggestions would help.

You got it man. A 10:1 ratio of caffiene:ephedrine is the ideal. I take 200mg caffiene and two 12.5 mg ephedrine pills myself. Three times a day if I get up early. Twice if I sleep in. Studies have shown that if you stick as close to the 200mg caffeine to 20mg ephedrine dose as possible its actually quite safe. Its when you start upping the dose or taking ma huang of unknown strength that things can get dangerous.

scrunger is on the money. i've used 25mg ephedrine HCL + 200mg caffeine 3 times a day for a 6-month span, only taking 1 week off per month (and im not even sure thats entirely necessary). i know that some of the more prominent effects like sweating, jitters, rush-kind of feeling all dissipate after a certain amount of time, but studies have shown that the thermogenic properties continue well on after the physical effects stop being noticed.

i used to be a caffeine hound, so it doesn't make me jittery at all. the only side effect to note was that if i dosed too close to an intense cardio session i got very mild heart palpitations.

like scrunger said, stick to that dosing schedule and you'll be perfect. have fun!

Good info bro. Thanks for the insight.

the drumlib faq is pretty much the best place for basic ECA knowledge. He explains why the jitters go away but the thermogenic effect stays, and references the studies to back it all up.

Hi,
Ephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine commonly used as a stimulant, appetite suppressant, concentration aid, decongestant, and to treat hypotension associated with anaesthesia.
