xenadrine and anger

[Honey Roasted]

I suspect Xenadrine is making me feel very angry at times, especially after working out. I don't take that much Xenadrine...maybe one or two in the morning and one or two before I work out. I don't take it everyday. There are already certain external things that make me a little upset and it seems the Xenadrine turns that into a huge consuming ball of rage that lasts for a long time...and then I burn out.

Sound familiar?

I've heard people talking about this before. I'm not sure why this would happen. Most people get "angry" when their testoserone levels are bumped up, but there's nothing in xenadrine to do this.

Not that I'm an expert or anything, I'm just commenting. I guess it happens in enough people though for it not to be an isolated incident. I took ripped fuel and a home made eca and never felt those effects. Of course, I also never felt a lot of the side effects associated with ephedra/ephedrine products.

honey roasted, the best way to get rid of that aggression is to... kill something, thats right, follow those voices in your head you sick son-of-a-bitch.... j/k

well, stimulants tend to make you more volitile. also, the nice amount of circulating epinephrine plays a good role in why you get pissed.

Yep, ephedrine always changes my mood and makes me more emotional -- angry, or sad, whatever.

Ephedrine and Clen are the culprits for me.

VERY familiar. If you don't have an addictive personality, try chewing 3-5 2mg nicotine gum. It is much more effective than ephedrine-caffeine. It has leptin-like effects and completely suppresses appetite. Leptin is the anti-famine hormone that decreases with dieting. I'm not sure if it would work better or worse for a female (it is not indicated on your profile), since females have naturally higher levels of leptin yet their leptin decreases more while dieting. I'm sure it would be better than EC, though. Low levels of leptin and its associated hormones leads to muscle loss and increased appetite. Nicotine should nip this in the bud, something that EC cannot do.

Try it 2 weeks on 2 weeks off to avoid addiction. No jitters.

Dudes....Im not proud of this... but I tried my first real true ECA stack yesterday, not a Thermicore CRT or Xen dosage, real ephedrine this time.
And I was acting like a Whiney Bitch, I was almost in tears cuz I couldnt get my Bicycle tire inflated , lol. God damn it got me pissy but I was certainly pumped.

when i take ultimate orange or ripped fuel, i feel great during workout, realy puts me in a good mood, but once im out of the gym i usually crash and burn emotionally.

I have been taking ZENETROPE

its basically the same thing... makes me angry and feel like I wanna whip some ass...

I like that though because normally I am mild and quiet

An ECA stack puts me on the edge. I feel super alert, like I'm ready to knock someone's head off, which is the perfect mood for productive lifting.

The following was taken from an alternative medicine site:

"Ephedra and caffeine are very stressful on the adrenal glands because
they continually cause the secretion of epinephrine (adrenalin). This is
what causes one to feel "wired" and will definitely cause weight loss.
Even though you will experience weight loss, the adrenals take a major
beating and end up producing less and less of these important hormones
leading to poor health and a decrease in metabolism over time"

after reading through this and a bunch of other articles, the explanation for the moodiness (ie. anger, agressiveness, depression) related to the use of supplements containing ephedra is the over stimulation of the adrenal glands. These glands are responsible for our flight or fight responses. thus their over stimulation may result in the extreme moods.
also taken from a site:
"Nutritional supplements to support the adrenals include vitamin A, C, E,
B-5, B-complex, manganese, zinc, and adrenal glandulars (I recommend
Raw Adrenal by Enzymatic Therapy- it is a complete formula that I use
with my patients). Ginseng also supports the adrenals and can be
taken in pill, tea or extract form. "

i was curious myself since i am one who uses ephedra/ephedrine products. just thought i'd post this for others who are curious.

I am always trying to convince people they need a break from eca's b/c of the stress they do put on the adrenal glands. sometimes the men listen, however, women are stupid and hard headed so they never quit. they are also the ones who never can stick to a diet, go figure. i reccomend adren comp or raw adrenal. they are both by enzamtic therapy and are very good

Xenadrine RFA-1 puts me into a good mood. I feel great.

Xenadrine EFX makes me really, really, REALLY thirsty ALL the time. Much more than the RFA-1. And, it doesn't give me as much of an energy boost.

I'm going back to the RFA-1 as soon as my EFX is done.
