Hi! I have been taking Ephedrine in the form of 25mg Ephedrine Hydrochloride and 200mg Guaifenesin pills for probably 5 years. Over this time I have built up a tolerance to where I take 4 pills in the morning and 3 an hour later and 3 about every 3 hours after that. Sometimes I will take 15 in a day to get the same effect I used to. I have been taking this amount for probably a year now and dont have any noticable side effects. Any suggestions/comments would be nice. I am mainly wondering about the side effects at this amount. Thanks! and have a heck of a day!

I don't think you are doing your stomach lining any favors taking such large amounts. This is one of the inherent problems with a Beta 2 type stimulants, your body adapts to it. If you read most of the post about clen and e/c/a, you will find the two week cycle to be the method of choice. My advice is to come down and stop for a while... That is a very long time to be flooding your body with E

You should really consider taking a break!!!!
They say that if you're on ephedrine for 3 months...you shall also have a 3 months break!!!!
Why do you do this???
Most people do it to become lean or just to get a kick before a heavy weightsesion!!!!!

Yeah, I've been wondering why so long? The stuff is hard to come off after so long. You'll no doubt crash if you don't gradually decrease your dose. But you really should try to kick the stuff. Whatever you're using it for it will be more effective if you cycle it, and less chance of negative sides from long term abuse. By now your likely taking the E just to feel 'normal'. This means your body has adapted to it so well that it doesn't feel normal without it. This is called addiction, and it's not a good thing even if you don't notice the sides. They say most heroine addicts don't notice any sides if the stuff is pure and they never have to stop taking it (and can continue to increase their intake as they become accustomed to it).
