homemade eca stack

bear with me...it's been awhile and i've forgotten how much to take on the eca stack and when i do a search i get TONS of threads to read through.

anyway, the caffeine pills i got are 200 mg and i have 25 mg ephedrine hcl tabs.

i'm probably going to skip the aspirin part of the equation b/c my stomach can be a bit sensitive to it.

each time is it 1 200 mg caffeine pill and 1 25 mg ephedrine? can you take it 2-3 times a day?

i know to start with less and build if i still tolerate it ok but i've forgotten the doseage range to start and as an upper limit.

thanks!

Yes.

And before anyone chimes in with, "It depends on your bodyweight," please realize that anyone who states this is mentally challenged.

However, I'm a fan of small and more frequent dosages; 12.5 mgs of E and 100 mgs of C three to six times per day.

At first, start off with 3 doses, spread over 12 hours or so. After this, you can take a dose every 2 to 3 hours. You are less likely to experience negative reactions , as blood levels stay consistent (like using clenbuterol, except in this case it's a do-it-yourself method of extending activity).

Forgot:

Aspirin isn't necessary. It disinhibits a negative feedback pathway, however it has never been proven to be effective, scientifically or anecdotally.

Green tea extract (standardized to EGCG) is a better option.

Amusing, as I was in the process of answering that from your original post (after I had forgotten)

I know you advised me against the Yohimbe for not but would this help her?

It is not something I'd start off with. Down the line, perhaps. EC combined with oral Y carries incredibly unpleasant and potentially dangerous side effects (in most cases, it's a matter of the former).

take 3 of the 8mg tabs 3 times a day... take 1 of the caffeine 3 times a day with the ephedrine.... so 3 times a day with food you should take 3 of those ephedra and 1 of those caffeine



Are you kidding me????

even though its used for more hard core beta angtagonists lie clen, Ketotifen (i might be spelling it bad but im tired) might be good with ephedra... It lengthens the window where ephedra has its geatest effect....

Its kind of a beta antagonist receptor upgrader... I am definately gonna try it with my eca stack, cause ephedra's effects dwindle on me fast..
