Ephedrine questions

[jerseybrah]

I have a bunch of bronkaid lying around (newer sulfate batch not HCl)

I was wondering:

- could this be used recreationally?
-could this be used for studying?

any advice?

being a little tweaked on ephedrine at the moment i can say its useful in keeping energy levels high, but recreationally i'd steer clear.

it can help boost your energy levels but honestly its not worth the unpleasant side effects and not to mention the disgusting crash.

caffeine is probably a better study aid.

I disagree, ephedrine can be even better than caffeine as a study aid, especially at the levels of stimulation needed for studying. It has less of a crash during late night study sessions due to not messing with adenosine receptors, and has a longer duration of action, about 2 hours longer.

Mixing the two is ideal and synergistic. I would use 12.5mg ephedrine sulfate with 40-60mg caffeine taken every four to six hours, personally.

I find a combo of ephedrine and caffeine is a great alternative to adderall for studying.

Firstly, ephedrine is simply not recreational. It's feels like having all the side effects of amphetamines without any of the central effects that make amphetamines desirable. Moderate doses will make your heart pound and you probably won't feel comfortable sitting still. Pushing the dose will make you feel anxious, shaky and sick.

If you want to try ephedrine, treat it as a "less is more" kinda thing. Simply take 12.5-25mg as a small boost, it may help you get some homework done. The feeling is only okay when it is subtle, doses over 25mg may make you feel uncomfortable.

good luck.

Agreed, doses of over 12.5mg ephedrine make me feel like shit physically and like my head is tingling, not in a euphoric way.

The side effects of 25mg Ephedrine resemble those from regular dosages of Adderall, as I suspect L-amp is very similar to Ephedrine, albiet a lot more potent on a mg per mg basis, and even "dirtier" than Ephedrine, imo.

Used responsibly, Ephedrine is actually a very underrated substance, and it only lasts 4-6 hours per dose, so you can actually sleep on it. More college kids should use it.

I wonder how bad people's hearts are who have to take 75-100mg ephedrine a day for their asthma, lol. I wonder if anybody who buys Ephedrine actually uses it for its bronchiodilating properties.
