Drink plenty of water and take in moderation.

As with ANYTHING, moderation is the key. If you abuse this drug, OF COURSE it can have potentially negative effects. I started using this years ago when it was still legal, to lose weight and keep up with my long hours at work as a paramedic.

I started using this years ago when it was still legal, to lose weight and keep up with my long hours at work as a paramedic. I lost 45 lbs in a few months and I pretty much loved everything about it. I will tell you that the "negative" side effects I noticed were dry mouth and increased thirst (never let your mouth stay too dry, for too long -- this is how tooth decay begins!), I definitely felt like I had a shorter temper than normal after being on it consistently for approx. 6 months. This is when I decided to cut back... to once or twice a week, at most. I can understand why the FDA banned this drug, but at the same time, I think that under a physician's care it can do A LOT of GOOD. It basically removes your desire to eat... thus helping you lose weight and helping any weight related issues you may have. It has been proven to drastically aid in the relief of asthma symptoms. I believe that IF you use this drug in moderation, and fully understand the possible risks, it's a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, this country is FULL of people who abuse all good things, so you're going to have the bad effects that come with that i.e. Mental issues, stroke, heart attack, etc, etc, etc. Be smart people!! All good things can cause damage if you abuse them!

Comment:
I originally started taking ephedrin unintentionally while in college, in the form of diet/energy pill as sleep-replacement. I had no idea what it was, all I knew was that it made me more alert, gave me more energy/strength, and let me pull all nighters. Even when they took it off the shelves, I had no idea what it was or what it did. I didn't make the connection at the time, but a few mo ... Show Full Comment

I originally started taking ephedrin unintentionally while in college, in the form of diet/energy pill as sleep-replacement. I had no idea what it was, all I knew was that it made me more alert, gave me more energy/strength, and let me pull all nighters. Even when they took it off the shelves, I had no idea what it was or what it did. I didn't make the connection at the time, but a few months after I stopped taking it, I started developing a chronic cough. My primary care Dr wrote it off as a cold (for 4 months?). My ENT wrote it off as post-nasal drip induced. Finally, after it got progressively worse, a pulminologist determined that my cough was triggered by low grade asthma (which I had as a kid, and "naturally" went away once I started taking ephedrin). We went through 4 different types of asthma treatments, to varying degrees of success, none satisfactory. Last year, I scored some ephedrin from a guy at the gym, and finally stopped my chronic cough. Within a week after my stash was exhausted, my chronic cough returned. My "guy" disappeared, and I need more ephedrin!
