I hope I don't sound like a sour grandma - - but, ephedrine worries me. Itan mess up your heart & cause stroke, EVEN IN PEOPLE WHO ARE ON RELATIVELY LOW DOSES AND HAD NO RISK FACTORS for stroke/heart disease. Some of these catastophic outcomes ae irreversible.

So, you could be a totally healthy young person,. with normal blood pressure and no family history of stroke, who uses only moderate amounts of ephedrine, and you could literally drop dead (or wind up with brain or heart damage).

Sorry. I want to be supportive and nonjudgmental and I admit, the urge to lose weight led me to use ephedrine in the past too.

But now that I know about the risks I can't do it any more.
