You are not alone....I am here with you....Though we're far apart...You'll always,. - - -
My bad, just finished watchin CBS's Michaels 30th ann. special.
Shit was Fan FuCKING Tastic.
Arite..now back to your issue.
I notice that when I am on e/c stack for more than 30 days, I actually get tired after about an hour and half or so.
When I start on it, It does get me wired, But when I'm on it for more than a few weeks, just the opposite occurs.
Weird shit. Indeed.
I can take an Eph cap and then a nap.
That Rhymed.
Peace.

It does the same to me every now and then, 3 out of 10 times. Even with the caffeine, but I just want to know why? It does it even when I have been off of it for 3-4 months, around the second week it happens.

If you are sleep deprived it will sort of make you tired, but you will have a twilight type sleep... i kinda dig taking a nap on it because it has a body buzz along with it, and rarely does my body feel good... so i think when it does it wants to relax... wierd, eh?

if you dont sit around.. ie you are active this "skeepy" effect will rarely manifest itself.. it seems to be related to the high initial spike in NE levels.. it is seen with yohimbine as well-more commonly as it works exclusively with NE.-- get moving and avoid sleepyness.....btw- that tyrosine makes EVERYTHING(most everything), stimulant wise, work better.

I don't agree. Tyrosine - if you research the net - has a rate limiting step to convert to dopamine and Norepinephrine. Specifically, Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of dopamine
and norepinephrine.
Consider:
Tyrosine for depression:
a double-blind trial
by
Gelenberg AJ, Wojcik JD, Falk WE,
Baldessarini RJ, Zeisel SH, Schoenfeld D, Mok GS
Department of Psychiatry,
University of Arizona, Tucson 85724.
J Affect Disord 1990 Jun; 19(2):125-32
We treated 65 outpatients with RDC major depression in a randomized, prospective, double-blind comparison of oral L-tyrosine, 100 mg/kg/day, imipramine, 2.5 mg/kg/day, or placebo for 4 weeks. Tyrosine increased and imipramine decreased 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) excretion significantly, but there was no evidence that tyrosine had antidepressant activity. The only side effect to achieve statistical significance was greater dry mouth with imipramine. MHPG excretion and plasma amino acid concentrations failed to predict or correlate with clinical improvement.
If tyrosine really did convert readily to dopamine and NE - there would definately have been anti-depression activity. I don't believe supplemental tyrosine is worth it. You do not have enough of the enzyme needed for conversion.

I can certainly confirm macro's advice with my own experience. If I take eca for anything other than a pre workout kick, I get the yawns approx. 30 min later.
I'll definitey try the tyrosine. I'd never heard of using it for that before.

The answer to this one is simple.Caffeine & ephedrine cause an adrenaline response.The adrenaline drops your blood sugar & low blood sugar makes you feel tired.
People have different degrees of this adrenaline response so some feel fine after they take the e/c/a & others, like yourself,feel tired.
A high protein/high fat meal a couple hrs before taking the e/c/a should help.

2 possibilities:
1 - because your a fuck dumplin
2 - Maybe you shouldn't use it as a suppository.

Once again, we get CornHole's obession with all things Homosexual .... I guess his amount of flaming he has shwon on here lately means that his supply of young boys has dwindled up.
Some people have WAY to much free time on their hands - LOL - get a life dude.
Anyway, this guy is a loser, I have better things to do than enter his high-school pissing contest.
MuSuLPhReAk said:
Yeah, I am starting to think it has to do with this and timing of when it is taken.
Many times I might wake up, take the Eph, and then workout, with very little to eat prior to the workout. Then I get REALLY tired like 20-30 minutes after the workout, even if I have a post workout shake or meal.
Interesting.

hehe, I thought I were to only one who got tired when taking ECA. Well, guess not=)
That's why I use NYC instead. It doesn't make me sleepy and it works better than ECA.

i had this problem a while back, apparently my adrenal glands got worn out from producing adrenaline all the time form my ephedrine. A buddy of mine suggested a b complex, and within 2 weeks i was back to normal. Try it.

You're not alone! I take a 60 mg. ephedrine tab with yohimbe and strong coffee -- and I can barely keep my eyes open. At the same time, I'll have a bit of a tremor. So I'm shaking AND incredibly sleepy.
But that's nothing compared to clen! I've tried it twice and both times it made me so exhausted I could barely hold my head up.
Maybe I DO have ADD.

EPHEDRINE MAKES ME TIRED
Same here. It puts me to sleep actually. That is, ECA. Maybe it is the expectorant they put into it now, guanefessin (or whatever it's called). Get the ma huang extracts in the form of Ripped Fuel or Thermicore from Met-Rx. I've used the time released Thermicore lately and don't get tired. But when I take Bronchaid (which contains expectorant) from the drug store with caffeine pills and aspirin I fall asleep. For those of you who don't remember, the expectorant was added because it created a barrier for methamphetamine makers who used ephedrine as the base to make their drugs. Before this, you could buy 1000 20mg pills of pure ephedrine for $20 through mail order. My college burnout friends who didn't even work out would come over and take them like candy. But even with the expectorant in Bronchaid, after I sleep an hour I wake up and then workout and the workout is usually good. But I workout at home. Maybe you should take your EPH further out from your workout - like 3 hours before you arrive at the gym. Or just switch to the ma huang extracts that don't have the expectorant. But again, I'm only guessing the expectorant could be the problem.
