So, I've never done ECY cause I've used other things or nothing the times that I've cut. A manufacturer asked me to test a new energy product that was basically an ECY stack. Apparently, I'm one of those that has a bad reaction to Yohimbe. I got lightheaded, a headache, stomach cramps and nausea followed by excessive sweating and hot flashes or something. Now I have a cold and just feel lowsy--kinda flu-like symptoms. Does anybody else have a similar experience with a bad reaction to Yohimbe and know how long it usually take for the symptoms to go away? I don't know if my current feeling is left over from the Yohimbe or if I just got the flu. :dunno:

never used yohimbe but ephedrine sometimes gives me headaches, eca's make me sweat more than usual and give me an all around hot feeling all day. have you ever used yohimbe on it's own? you might just be getting sick. -
I am sensitive to yohimbe. Even though what your feeling is awful those are less severe sides. After taking 1/4 of the recommended dosage my Heart rate (rythmic changes) & blood pressure increases/decreases, interferes with breathing, and muscle tingling in feet & legs. I feel VERY unconfortable for about an 1-2 hours. But i agree w/ Psyko1 in your case i also think it a coincidence with you being sick. I have no problems with ephedra.Comment

Guess I'll have to try it again after I feel better to see how I feel after I take it again--worst case, I take more time off work! Thanks guys.Comment

my supplement guy said that some people have an adverse reaction to taking Yohimbe and Effies at the same time, but that people can overcome it by taking them at different times.Comment

Technically, it was synephrine-250mg with 300mg Caffeine Anhydrous and 200mg of Yohimbe Extract. Awesome energy but felt like crap afterwards.Originally posted by glowallaComment

Was 250mg Synephrine a typo? That's a very high dose of Synephrine.Originally posted by BBAddict
What % of your yohimbe extract was Yohimbine?Comment

It was actually 250mg of citrus aurantium with 6% of that being synephrine, so it is really about 15mg of synephrine.Originally posted by Coprolith
It was 4mg of yohimbine.
Anyway, I think it may not have been a reaction to anything in the stack. I've been sick now for a week and a half, so I'm pretty sure I was just getting sick. I'm gonna try it again if I ever get over this dang flu! I finally quit working out to let my body recover, so hopefully it'll happen soon.Comment

How is ephedra worthless?Originally posted by glowallaComment

Okay, just making sure. If you took 250mg of synephrine HCl, with ECY, you'd probably be in the hospital. :DOriginally posted by BBAddict
Those are both pretty reasonable doses, though, so you're probably right about the flu symptoms, though I've gotten similar ones from sulbutiamine-based stims before, so it might be a little of both.
I'm a little wary of combining two strong CNS stimulants like E and Y in the presence of C because my family has a history of hypertension--that and I don't like the feeling of my heart beating out of my chest :D--so for my fat loss stacks I usually pick a strong thermogenic like EC and then add non-stimulating fat-burners like high-dose fish oil, SesaThin, which works with the fish oil, and green tea extract, which works with the ephedrine without really adding to the jitters. Just the right amount of energy to combat the low-carb blues without making my mind go into overdrive.Comment

Perhaps he means that ephedra is worthless, but ephedrine is what's usefull.Comment
