Common Questions and Answers about Drugs that use ephedrine

drug

Avatar m tn None of these ingredients are designed for long term use so side effects arising from such use have not really been studied. Excessive use of ephedrine strains the cardiovascular system & increases the risk of stroke & heart attack. As you are already at higher risk due to your smoking habit, this is probably the biggest exposure you are facing. I'm sure you know that you would be much better off without either habit. You will find great support here if you do plan to quit.
1247165 tn?1268767582 I founded this group after joining MedHelp and reaching out for support for addiction to ephedrine. After browsing around and finding so much support for all ailments, I emailed a dear friend of mine who is struggling with sexual addiction and thought it would be a valuable resource with all of the communities and groups available. To my surprise, I found forums for other sexual related issues, but none for sexual addiction!
Avatar n tn Ephedrine is known to cause coronary artery spasm. Depending on how long the spasm last, one can have a heart attack related to it. This is why patients with this condition should always carry nitroglycerin with them at all times.
Avatar f tn t know you or your doctor though, but drugs usually attack the symptoms, not the problem. If you are a danger to others or yourself, then drugs are a good idea, but drugs to help heal drug addiction is proven to not work. They can be used as tools in recovery, but they won't heal us. I know that normal was not how the psych meds I have taken made me feel. There are many other options to try before drugs, unfortunately few doctors know much about nutrition.
20803283 tn?1513893720 It has been used for centuries as a decongestant, and some use it as a stimulant. Because both ephedrine and its cousin pseudo-ephedrine can be used to make methamphetamine, regulators basically banned the stuff. I think this was a mistake, and asthma sufferers were particularly affected -- the basic herb has very little of this in it. What you're taking has a lot, so you're basically taking speed.
Avatar n tn (the old versions that had ephedra) as a diet/workout aid, and aside from having a more energetic workout, they really seemed to help with my depression. Now I have days where I can barely function at all due to depression, but if I take 12mg of ephedrine, some caffeine and 1/2 an aspirin I feel normal to great. I've only been on actual depression medications once - I took Paxil. It didn't seem to work well and the side effects of getting off it were horrible.
3198928 tn?1345253403 t affect me enough for me to quit so I continued to use. Its funny to me that you can take those medications while on probation, as long as you have a prescription. But I finally reached my stopping point in November of 2011. I realized that if I didn't get control of myself I would end up dying of an overdose or something.
Avatar n tn m contemplating taking a EC stack for my workouts which consist of Ephedrine and Caffeine. I am wondering if Ephedrine is ok to take Adderall. I've heard mixed responses from this and would like to know the truth.
Avatar n tn Yesterday something happened with my heart and I don't know whether I should worry about it or not. I'm a 41 years old woman. The only problem I've had with my heart till now is paroxysmal tachycardia, which I get once or twice a year. My heart rate is then 240 or higher and these episodes last for 1 to 2 hours. I support them well, just some shortness of breath. During one of these episodes I went to the hospital and they reassured me that it's nothing to worry about.
Avatar m tn The thing that started me on the path to a-fib 13 yrs ago was ephedrine and pseudo-ephedrine as found (or used to be found) in Nyquil. The ephedrine I got from Metabolife, a diet aid popular in the 90's. I wouldn't touch that stuff with a ten foot pole now. I'm not sure but I think epinephrine might cause problems too. Just always check the ingredients on the bottle and if there's any doubt call your Dr.s office or at least your local pharmacist.
Avatar f tn Medications & Substances Causing False Positives According to a report by the Los Angeles Times New Service, a study of 161 prescription and over the counter medications showed that 65 of them produced false positive results in the most widely administered urine test.
250084 tn?1303307435 Methamphetamine is available with a prescription for obesity, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and narcolepsy, but crystal meth is a street drug, made in illegal labs by chemically altering over-the-counter drugs. Making crystal meth usually involves reducing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, found in cold and allergy medicine.
Avatar f tn Pretty much it is Ephedrine, Aspirin, and Caffeine that have a synergistic effect on each other. As most commercially availible Ephedrine tablets already have caffeine, just add an Aspirin tablet to it. Ephedrine is now internet only after being briefly made to be illegal to sell from cardiovascular complications arising from people who should not have been taking it to begin with. However Doctors still prescribe it in suitable conditions.
1247165 tn?1268767582 At the time (2003), they actually sold the drinks that had 25mgs of ephedrine in them and I had a great work out. Knocking on 30 now, I think that the self image issue does start to come into play because I find myself taking it when there's a day of just crap eating (and I've gotten out of the habit of working out!) but what's more disturbing now is getting it for the "giddy high", or to get alot of errands/cleaning done.
788350 tn?1236620199 Ephedrine is the wrong medication. I am concerned that albuterol sulfate does not provide emergency relief. Ordinarily, albuterol sulfate is used to open the lungs, and a longer acting inhalation aerosol, such as ibratropium bromide is prescribed. These meds are often prescribed in tandem. Try Wal-Mart for inexpensive prescriptions. I an very hesitant to recommend oral prednisone, because it has many horrible side effects.
Avatar f tn can i take slimming tablets containg ephedrine if i have just had laser abblation for wolf parkinson and i still have another path way there
Avatar f tn This document, leaked by a disillusioned company employee, lists more than 250 over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs that can cause false positives.
590653 tn?1218811706 they will give most a sheet of paper that list any medication that can alter the mind....sudafed has ephedrine in it so it would be listed..some even list caffeine, benadryl,even otc meds like nyquil, couph syrup,, muscle relaxers, valerian root and melatonin as it will alter ur sensorium...a friend follows this religiously...i do not a i am not the type that abuses everything i take...but some do....my friend does...abuses lyrica, zanaflex, ambien...anything she takes...
Avatar f tn Yup....it scares me that in this day in age of doctors just passing out drugs like candy yet there has been no extra efforts in the failed drug test depo..... I have seen alot of this failed drug test stuff...On the pain managment side you see it like once a week.....Really freaks me out......
Avatar f tn I should also add that that the doctor has mentioned pericarditis to me...i don't understand why I would have this! What is it?
Avatar m tn Today is my 5th day without a diet pepsi, yet the heart palpations persist. I did notice that over the 4 years that I was drinking the diet soda, my need for the primatene tablets went from very occasionally (1 to 3 tabs a week) to sometimes 2 tabs a day. Since I've stopped the diet soda, even tho it's only been 5 days, I've seen a dramatic decrease in my need for the primatene tabs. 3-half tabs in the last 5 days.
Avatar m tn Stimulants like ephedrine used to be a big ingredient in lifting and diet supps until some users died. Nobody could prove it was the ephedrine that killed them, still, it was taken off the market. Over the counter supps aren't going to make or break your gains. Consistency, steadily increasing poundages, increasing calories thru nutritious food, plenty of rest--these will work in the long run.
Avatar m tn One of my biggest mistakes (besides switching addictions, uggg) was thinking I could socialize with those that used drugs and I read about it on posts here too. For me, it was not and is not possible to stay clean being around those that use. A few times I was able to say no and be strong even though i wasn't pressured to use, but just seeing someone high and drugs around sends me into a different state of mind.
1645527 tn?1309708521 That's really all you can do...increasing your fluid intakes is usually the first step to raising your blood pressure when it's too low. Mine did that during my 2nd pregnancy as well...they would measure it and it would be like 67/35....and i felt horribly dizzy and faint and in fact passed out a few times. Not much else they can do, although I know there are some medicines that they can sometimes prescribe I don't think they use them during pregnancy...
