want to cycle ephedrine 1 week on, 1 week off. is this an ok time frame? the reason for this cycle is that i work 2 weeks days 2 weeks nights and want to use it during switch over week.:p
 
It looks good to me.

I usually do 5 days on, 2 off, then an entire week off every few weeks or so. This keeps me from getting too resistant.

This is only when cutting.
 
Cycling ephedrine? What a concept, never heard of it :)



(This is a joke, by the way)

Heh, you had me going until I scrolled down.
 
It's not necessary to cycle ephedrine for the fat burning effects. The anorectic effects and energy boost tend to wear off over time though.
 
Im wondering, what IN the ephedrine is it that makes it fat burning?
Personally i think a good diet and good training is the key.

Anyways, it ups body heat and shit right?
 
Here's a great article about ephedrine covering pretty much all the bases.


Basically though it increases metabolic rate and fat metabolism. It does this kind of indirectly and the misunderstanding about ephedrine's effects on the CNS is what got it in hot water (people think if 60mg works good, 120mg wil work 2X better).

Also a point to take home in this article is the dosage recommendation of 10mg/100mg caffeine every 2 hours as opposed to 20mg/200mg every 4 hours. Doing this makes the rollercoaster ride a little gentler.

Rehydrate yourself often too...when using

Not only for the hydration, but for the fact that ephedrine use has been linked to kidney stones. Plenty of water intake will avoid that.
 
Ephedrine makes me real edgy and slightly paranoid. I think it fucks with your head too much. I prefer a disciplined diet and intense cardio for cutting.

It does tend to fuck with your head if haven't been on in a while. This will usually wear away for me.
 
i dont feel anything while on ECA mabe heart rate up a bit and it helps big time on cravings for food and with lots of cardio i lost 7 pounds in 3 or 4 days but it doesnt make me paranoid and shit

I don't know if I agree with this statement. The human body is a homeostatic creature that does not like change, primarily large changes. Ephedrine will cause a significant increase in your metabolism and you body will try and maintain equilibrium. I don't have any specific research to back up my views but my study of the human body leads me to this conclusion.
 
after a few days of taking eca i was doing squats with a machine i had the feeling you get when you smoke weed i got a bit dizzy, couldnt hear as clear and started seeing stars and shit, but it when away a few seconds after i drank some water
