Ephedra sides?

[AllTheWay]

so i ordered up some manpower CEC and then plain ephedra a few weeks ago. all went smooth and got the stuff and started taking the CEC-25mg T3, 20mg ephedra, 200mg caffiene. i would do one in the morning when i woke up and then take a plain ephedra in the afternoon. i did this for about 2 weeks. i was noticing that i was exhausted at the end of the day. dont get me wrong, in usually tired after work but this was a different type of weariness. so i stopped the CEC and started on just the plain ephedra.

i would take 2 - 20mg capsules every morning at 4 when i woke up. there was never any heart racing or over stimulated feel. it was more like my head was not clear and i would have a hard time pulling my thoughts together at times. sometimes my vision would get blurred but nothing that bad. (the one time i tried to take three it made me very ill to my stomach and kind of like a narcotic head feel. everything was very fuzzy and kind of dizzy.)

last week i started feeling like i had something crawling on me. yes, i know weird. but the bulldog pups had been on the bed some and i thought that maybe they had picked up fleas from the clinic or something. i didnt think that much about it because fleas dont live on people, they get on you and then leave. but this went on all last week and this week. i thought i was losing my mind. as i would be sitting at my computer i would feel something on my skin and look down and there would be nothing there. as i was scratching at my arm the other day at some invisible bug, i thought, damn, i feel just like the damn meth heads look that come into the office. all scratchy and going crazy. it was then that it dawned on me that maybe it was the ephedra. so i didnt take it and guess what, no invisible bugs. i then took it and they were back.

has anyone else experienced this? is this a common side of ephedra? i have taken tons of ephedra and never had these sides. usually just a racing heart and jittery feel. this makes me feel like i am taking a narcotic, i hate it. i miss the awake feeling but it isnt worth feeling like i have things crawling on me all day!

I never had those exact sides per se, but I did have major exhaustion almost as soon as the E wore off, and sometimes, even when it was working (like, felt jittery, but very tired!) Strange. Is this a different brand then you've used before? That's nuts, and sounds like no fun!

 

[AllTheWay]

the oddest part was i didnt feel it when i took the CEC, only when it was the ephedra only product! and no, i have never had the invisible bug feeling! jittery and such i can handle, the distraction is tolerable but not the creepy crawlies! i actually never crashed on the ephedra only problem. it would last all day, aside from the creepy crawlies it was great!

Ive experienced that your describing ATW, sometimes an eca stack will slow me down rather then speed me up, sometimes it will make me restless while I have that brain fog feeling you describe. I typically have the highest levels of energy naturally when Im well rested. I have a good over all experience on stimulants about 2-3 times out of a 5 day period, I cannot tell you why or how but thats how they work with my body chemistry. Now they do help me greatly with fat loss but I have never ever found a stimulant that gives me consistent energy without some weird mind altering effect!

lol... That is way to funny, you'll be fine, but what is happening is your blood flow and pressure is elevated from the stims so the increase flows along is hitting the nerves in folicule region under the skin is causing a feeling of a bug crawling on you.

I get that too, actually have one of those feelings on the side of my face right now, they go away, but usually not till you're done taking the stims. It feels like a bug, but it's not, just think of it as bugs crawling under your skin....hahaha

Yep, have had both the tiredness and the crawly arms. Really good Ephedra hits me like a Cialis too for some reason, but it needs to be good Ephedra.

Same here ATW and LK. Been taking the CEC low stack for about 15 days now and I just recently started feeling the "bug crawling" sensation. The mental cloud has been consistent from the beginning, but it is manageable if I just fight through it. The rock hard erection I get about an hour after popping one though, is not so easy to fight through. It's crazy, like high-school-I-can't-make-it-go-away-for-an-hour erections, and they confine me to my desk regardless of who needs me where or to do what. I just make up an excuse until it's gone. All that being said, it has helped me to greatly reduce the water retention from the GH and cut some weight while keeping energy high, so I will continue to take it.

The only side I ever had from Ephedra was getting leaner and having better workouts....lol

My wife on the other hand would have wild mood swings on it and crash badly when coming off it.

thank you! i have never had that feeling and it was kind of freaking me out. now that i know what it is, no problemo. i can deal with something when i know what is causing it! plus i have horrible withdrawl headache right now so i will go take me one

I feel like I'm on crack and I feel like I always have something to do

I grit my teeth hard as hell till my jaw is sore and go to bed early. It just gets me revvin and wears me out.

i have the same problem with too much stims. almost like a tingling. you may want to try spacing out your stims a bit throught your morning over 2-3 hours so they dont all start at the exact time. im going to be taking MP CEC soon too and his Clen so im sure i will feel like a crack head soon.
