Assuming she means fast instant weight loss as fast progressing fat loss all in a pill. THe leading effect of both prescription and over the counter medication is decreasing appetite. All the medications that increase metabolism by increasing body temperature are illegal in the US. Pretty much in people that choose not to watch their diets yet want to take a pill to lose weight, taking a multi vitamin will be effective.
A year ago, after gaining weight from an unhealthy university lifestyle, I decided to embark on a weight loss and fitness regime over summer. Through a lot of effort I shed a stone and a half on a low carb diet and regular exercise, and by autumn and started to feel a lot better about myself.
However, my weight loss plateaued when I returned to university and I decided the stimulant Ephedrine HCL was the answer.
But this combination, although it can help with temporary weight loss, will only have a rebound effect when you stop. Losing weight by taking speed is never a good idea. Slow weight loss through diet and exercise and control of blood sugar is much safer and lasts. This product was originally developed for body builders so they could work out longer -- body builders will take anything, no matter how harmful. You shouldn't.
Hi Dr,
I am a 27 year old male with a history of both athleticism and sedentary lifestyle (professional endurance athlete up to 21, and afterward, mostly sedentary after). I am 6'3", 220lb, with a BMI of 27.5 (overweight as per CDC website).
Two years ago (age 25) I used a caffeine and ephedrine 'thermogenic' weight-loss drug for 6 weeks. As i recall, the dosage was apx 20mg ephedrine, 200mg caffeine. I did not intensify the dosage and have not used it since.
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.
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
I am starting to gain weight, but I also have a thyroid problem. I exercise but still gaining. I tried trimspa some time back and it worked well with the exercising, but since the thyroid developed, I am afraid to take it. What effects would it have on me taking the trimspa? I am taking 50mgs. of synthroid.
Guaifenesin, how much is an Overdose? My daughter 11 years old 100 lbs (big for her age), took (the correct dose) 5mL cough and cold medicine that had the following in that dose. Guaifenesin, USP 100 mg, Dextromethorpan HBr, USP 10 mL. Phenylephedrine HCI, USB 5mg. But then she also took (the correct dose) 10 mg of a prescription medicine Guaifenesin-Codeine syrup (generic for Robitussin AC syrup). It doesn't state on the label the quantity of Guaifenesin mg in the 5mL dose.
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.
Is the ephedrine/caffeine/aspirin mix a reasonable solution to my depression? Any dangers? Or should I try another antidepressant?
I've had asthma since I was little, and as far as I've gathered, expectorant is for non-asthmatic cough sufferers while mucolytics are for asthmatics. Is this true? What's confusing me though is why "guaifenesin", a component in one asthma pill I used to take, is used as an "expectorant", and the only OTC drug available for the purpose of easing the removal of phlegm here in the U.S.
The alternative is guaifenesin, which you can buy over-the-counter. Mucinex contains guaifenesin, but I would get the plain guaifenesin. It works very well.
I do know you only need the plain kind, nothing else should be in it just guaifenesin. If you get the one with that is mixed it can have the opposite reaction. Also you need to drink plenty of water!! YOu have to do this in order for it to work. I just started taking clomid and i read to start the guaifenesin on day 10 till ovulation. On a website for fertility i read that you need to take 200mg three times a day!
yes, well sort of. It's Guaifenesin an ingredient found in cough meds. You can usually find a store brand of robitussin that has only Guaifenesin in it. The ingredient is made to break up mucus, but if taken while you ovulate it can make your CM more compatible with sperm.
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.
The composition of the syrup is each 5ml contains 4mg Promethazine HCI, 9mg Codeine Phosphate and 8mg Ephedrine HCI. Each bottle of the syrup is 120 ml, I usually take one or two bottle of it. In my country, tablet with single composition is available. Which one/two of the tablet can replace the syrup?
Weight loss can be just as tricky as weight gain. I am guessing that it's all about your metabolism. If it is slow, then it would explain why you are doing so much but not getting anywhere, or at least what you want.
There are safe products that will speed up your metabolism. The thing is, at one time ephedrine was legal, and when used in moderation and safely had many benifits. However, people could not take it in moderation, they could not take a small amount, and they used it for drugs.
Guaifenesin to be specific?
It requires you to take upto, but not limited to 2400mg of guaifenesin (Mucinex) daily. He says that with this protocol, you will notice that your symptoms will at first become worse, but will gradually disappear. He swears this is the way to reverse fibro. Now, when I heard this, I was obviously a little skepticle (who wouldn't be when you are told that Mucinex is the cure for fibro!) So I wanted to know if anyone here has heard of or tried this approach.
Has anyone ever gotten guaifenesin with codeine prescribe. Want to know feed back on it I'm 12+4 days. Help please trying to get rid of this plhuem I had still. But kinda un sure.
