ephedrine and decongestants

**P-funk** · 01-12-2005, 08:16 PM

I was wondering, for those of you that use decongestant product as a means to get your dose of ephedrine when dieting (I believe vasopro is one of them). Does the decongestant dry out your sinuses ever since you are taking it daily for an extended period of time??

I never thought about that, but I've stopped taking vasopro recently and I've been having bad sinus pain. Does that help?

maybe. Have you been getting any bloody noses?

No bloody noses. Just sinus pain and some congestion. But I'm not sick.

Its an expectorant, so if you normally have sinus issues it ought to help... it does me.

But if you don't have any sinus issues then I could see it drying you out too much, causing headaches and maybe even causing nose bleeds.

I dipped for a good 4 years, and would always have a nice ball of phlegm in my throat but ephedrine used to clear it up pretty well. Plus the energy boost reminded me of the good old days when nicotine actually provided a buzz.

I have been using the Vasopro Ephedrine. Been cycling it with some clen, 2 weeks clen then 2 weeks ECA. After the first 2 weeks on the ECA I noticed my nose was really dry and that there seemed to be a little blood everytime I went to blow my nose. Haven't gotten a full on bloody nose though yet, thankfully.

Just wanted to add an update to my earlier post. I have been sick with the flu the last few days and this morning when I woke up after blowing my nose I had a couple of nosebleeds. Not sure if the vasopro ephedrine is solely to blame or not, but I am definitely gonna lay off the ECA for a while just to be safe.

Does that help? I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
