Hey there,
I am about to begin on the ECA stack and had a few questions before I start. I am a female, 29 years old. I work out 4-5 times a week, aiming for 5 straight through. I was previously taking Dyma- Xtreme Burn 2 xs a day, 6 months ago :

I recently recieved mine too. It depends on your tolerance to this stuff. I have been advised to start slow

Is this too much caffeine Im taking in a day? Is E safe to take by itself or not as effective? How soon can I up the E and how much? whats the limit?

I am on an ECY (ephedrine hcl/caffeine/yohibimine HCL) stack currently right now... I am a 23yo male though, so I am taking the Y and not the aspirin because it has a similar effect as the "a" but it also provides more stimulation for the thermogenesis (it also provides some virility) As for a standard ECA stack, taking the "e" by itself wouldnt really do you any good. you would be wasting your money and getting a fevery sweat while "on it". the ephedrine hcl initiates the thermo effects by directly effecting the respiratory (breathing) and cardiovascular (heart pumping) systems, the caffeine elevates the energy levels of the body and raises the heart rate as well, and the aspirin in your case would be used to simply thin the blood to aid in rapid absorbtion and transmission... it also adds to the euphoric, light-headed feeling while "on" the stack. I sometimes will pop an aspirin or two to kickstart my ECY stack, though I try to stay away from it. The stack does work, though make sure you do drink plenty of water (not gatorade or sports drinks) and though eating is not encouraged by most when taking the stack in the morning, i find that it helps avoid the sickish feeling sometimes accompanied with the aspirin load. (i have chronic acid reflux though :p )

I would try something else-Hot Rox-worked well for my wife. She lost two dress sizes and got it pretty cheap off of EBay.
