What people say about Ephedrine and weight loss

“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.”

“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.”

“structurally ephedrine is an amphetamine and works with similar mechanisms as Adderall. My concern would be large spikes in blood pressure, which can be quite dangerous.”

Pharmacotherapy for obesity

Conclusion: Several potential new therapies targeting weight loss and obesity through the CNS pathways or peripheral adiposity signals are in early phase clinical trials. Over the next decade the drug treatment of obesity is likely to change significantly because of the availability of new pharmacotherapies to regulate eating behaviours, nutrient partitioning and/or energy expenditure.
