Ephedrine - Doesn't appear to be working. Dosage problem?

nonzero · 14-09-2004, 04:20 PM

Greetings folks.

I've been taking Ephedrine (World Generic Research - White tub, pink label with white/yellow jagged line running through it - 30mg) for a good few weeks now and haven't noticed any majot fat loss.

I started on 2 tablets AM and 2 PM and am currently on 3 + 3. I get the feeling that I have been on them for too long (4 weeks) and have developed a tolerance.

Strength has really increased and I've noticed that I've packed on some size but the fat is staying exactly where it is.

I tried coming off them cold turkey the other day and was knackered (sleeping all the time, very lethargic for a couple of days) so I'm back on them. I'm thinking of cycling off them and staying off them for about 3 weeks to give my body a chance to get back to normal.

I weigh 14.3 stone, no idea of the bodyfat ratio but I'd say theres a fair amount there that needs to be shifted.

Any ideas/hints or tips?

I used Ephedrine about 7 years ago and dropped about a stone of fat in 30 days using 2 tabs AM and 2 tabs PM. Any ideas why I got no results this time?

Thanks in advance

you build up a tolerance to ephedrine very quickly i think this is something to do with it remaining in your fat cells but im not sure to be honest. anyway you have to cycle ephedrine something along the lines of 2 days on 2 off or similar. i would also reccomend a good week or 2 off every 5 weeks or so.
ypu tried ephedrine/caffeine/aspirin/narnigen mix??

I thought that it was the tolerance issue...

I haven't tried the stack you mentioned, didn't use it last time. Do you have any info on it?

Also - Is 180 mg of Ephedrine a day excessive? I did my second 3 + 3 (180mg) day today. Yesterday I trained back like a demon for an hour then ran for a mile in 10 minutes and still had go in me :twisted:

Today I took it easy and just did triceps but I was whacking out some phenomenal weights.

The 2 + 2 (120mg) wasn't really doing much apart from making me thirsty.

If you still had go in you after an hour why did you stop?

Losing body fat is one of the hardest things to do, but you really need to push your CV work as hard as you can.

I am trying to lose some more fat at the moment and run or cross country machine for 20 - 25 minutes every night and try and do a 4 mile run once a week.

You really need to work hard. Have you tried a cross country machine?

World Generic Research products are very suspect, I imagine they will be well under strength.

Stack them with caffeine, asprin, and L-Tyrosine. I have some of my guys use our Lean-R with ephedrine which works a treat (that is how they were designed to be used but they pulled the adverts which said "Caution - Lean-R takes fat burning to a dangerous level when mixed with ephedrine hydrochloride")
