ephedrine, caffiene, yohimbine... feeling funny - SuperiorMuscle.com

soshiv · #1 03-14-06, 12:49 AM

I just started taking 25mg of vasopro ephedrine with 200mg of prolab caffiene and 2.5mg of yohimbine hcl and i feel strange

I think that it might bee too much for me, i am 5'10" 165lbs
and it makes me feel like im racing and sometimes nauseas
also i couldnt get it up about 2.5 hours after taking it (which is enough for me to stop taking it all together right there)

Anyone else ever have these side effects?

cut the caffiene in half and see how you feel. And the effects of having to much of those stimulants in your body give you the "speed weenie".

Yea, these arent compounds to fuck around with. The 'standard' dose isnt the golden rule for all. At 165 lbs, you can afford to drop the dose of all the aforementioned compounds. As for 'speed weenie', going to have to live with it

YJ - I just got done with the first two weeks in my ephedrine cycle but I was taking 75 mg a day at first and felt nothing. I bumped it up to 125mg and had NO problems sleeping, shaking, feeling funny, no increased heart rate or palpitations and my blood pressure stayed at a steady 110 over 70 etc. What side effects could I have been experiencing and just not noticing?

ill try to cut the ephedrine down to 12.5 mg and the caffiene to 100mg maybe but the yohimbine is a capsule so ill have to take the whole 2.5mg....
does the stack make that much of a difference in fat loss? also if im feeling funny wouldnt it be dangerous to elevate my heart rate even more with cardio?

You might want to rule out the yohimbine and just run an EC stack to begin with. I have a friend who reacts badly to Y but is fine with just an EC.
The racing will lessen as you are on it for a longer period of time, but I have never felt sick on the ECY stack, and I am considerably smaller than you.
200mg caffeine is no different to a large starbucks coffee, so its not that much really.
If you are not happy with the stack, come off it, its not something to play about with.

I've also had negative reactions to yohimbe--read about some of the side effects for people that are allergic. I'd try a mini-EC stack and see how that works for you. I've never felt anything adverse from just an EC stack, unless I overdosed accidentally--that sucks, too!

haha, like when you read the dosage wrong on the bottle

exactly! Actually, I didn't read it--I thought I remembered correctly but I was obviously wrong. Live and learn, I guess. I had some pretty incredible workouts as amped as I was, except that my heartrate was a bit out of control!

soshiv · #12 03-15-06, 10:30 AM

i just cut my dosage in half (now its 12.5mg of ephedrine and 100mg of caffiene) and stopped taking the yohimbe... ill see how it makes me feel... hopefully i dont feel as strange... it wasnt unbearable but it made me feel tingly and a little dizzy and made my dick face the ground.. not a good combo... ill let yall know how i feel later this afternoon

Sublingual Yohimbe work well for me. Had a medical jornal article on how most herbs break down in stomach acid and rendered near useless. Sublingual works.

There is such a thing as over CNS stimulation. Ive actually ingested so much ephedrine and caffeine before, that I was tired beyond my control. At what point in the cycle were you at 125mgs (which I would never advise, but the way) if it were towards the end, this certainly a possibility.

**Shibby** · #15 03-15-06, 11:20 AM

It's easy for me to go from giving myslef energy, to putting myself asleep. I could start drinking a cup of coffee, (not the first caffiene of the day) and at halfway be getting energy. Then by the time I finish it, I feel like I need a nap.

soshiv · #16 03-16-06, 08:32 PM

OK so i took the 12.5mg ephedrine and 100mg caffiene and the yohimbe also... and i didnt feel bad... maybe it was i jumped in head first and i should have tapered into it..

Thanks for the insight bro. However, I can't really say that I was overly tired and I monitored everything pretty closely. I was at 125 from about 8 days in through the end so maybe you're right. I just didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I am a week back into my clen so I will let you now what happens in 2 weeks when I am back at this particular point with the ephedrine. Maybe I am just different than the masses...
