Positive experiences
“I was a heavy 1,3 dimeth (germanium), caffeine, and sometimes ephedrine addict and now, I don't feel the need to take any of it.”
“Ephedrine gives me tons of energy, makes me happy, positive, and talkative. It's an excellent pre-workout, though it doesn't suppress my appetite like it's supposed.”
“closest thing to adderall is ephedrine. I current switched from the ECA stack to the ECY stack (ephedrine, caffeine, Yohimbine) and it's working better for me.”
“I suffer from insomnia and took 30mg ephedrine and in the morning and redosed mid day with no effect on sleep.”
“Seriously, this wakes you up in the morning. Best workout I have had in a while. New bench press PB, and felt very focused.”
“Maybe, but I do have better workouts with caffeine, ephedrine and agmatine in my system.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“This morning I had about 200mg of caffeine with ephedrine pre-workout because I didnt get the best sleep last night. I could not focus at ALL today at work.”
“with 100mg caffeine, 200mg theanine, and 25mg ephedrine I still get pretty jittery. I've been taking 25 mg Ephedrine, 200 caffeine, 450 suntheanine, and 325 aspirin (not as a nootropic, to promote fat loss). Works pretty well for me.”
“ephedrine is the only thing i have found that works. marry that with caffeine withdrawal and i turn into a effin' monster.”
“Something that worked great for me was Ephedrine through chewing Ephedra-Tea from China. I quit though because... made me kind of cold.”
“Both times it was effective in that my appetite was suppressed and I had plenty of energy. The weight-loss was regular, but I did feel jittery and unsettled at times.”
“caffeine and ephedrine are really helping me out a ton...I started the ephedrine at the same time I got back into running after a long break, so it is hard to tell what is what.”
