Default Confused on Ephedrine

The local overpriced supplement store is selling Ephedra so I am assuming that the ban is over.

I have asthma and allergies along with a collapsed nasal valve. I am in the process of getting these issues taken care of. I found the Doctor's Doctor of plastic surgeons in my area. Needless to say I have to wait 5 weeks for a consult and who knows how many months before I get on the slab. In the meantime since I can't really breathe very well I am looking for a bronchiodialator/stimulant to carry me through. Ephedrine came to mind immediately.

Way back in college I used to get 48 Mini Thin 25/50s in a bottle for maybe $7. It could have been more but it was not the $50 that they want on "Special" at the supplement store. Where/How can I get straight Ephedrine at a reasonable price without getting a lot of rubbish fat loss/burner/whatever gunk mixed in? I dont mind the Guanefesin because I consider the thinning effects a benefit in my circumstances.

Hi Titan

It may sound odd, by why not get it from a doctor?

The ban is over but its effects on health are still sketchy. I wouldn't risk it.

This totally depends on your current health status. Also if you decided to sue an ephedra supp, or something like ephedrine hcl, start off slowly. Do 1/2 the recommended dosage for the first 2-4 weeks.

If you have a high resting hart rate already (say 80bpm) then I would stay away. Just eat clean, lift, hiit, and drink a lot of green tea, and take a good amount of fish oil. I have had better results with fish oil and green tea personally.

I assume you meant "use," not "sue" right?

The ban isn't lifted... Supp companies found some loopholes. Unless there is some recent news that evaded me somehow on the subject.

I learned that some companies could use ephedra alkalide substances but only in really low doses.

I was pretty upset about the ban, because it is how I self-treated my ADD.

Ephedrine.hcl is still available fairly cheaply. Several states have anti-meth laws that require you to get it at the pharmacy counter (no prescription needed), along with decongestants containing pseudoephedrine. Otherwise, google Vasopro.
