Safe??
ad
Hey ladies. I started my first var cycle a few days ago and so far everything is great. I was thinking of adding ephedrine into the mix at 30mg every other day. Is it safe to run these together? I know some that run ephedrine with caffeine and asprin for weight loss as well as the energy boost....im just looking for that boost. I work 12.5 hr shifts literally running around all day and feel like crawling in the house most evenings. Even if that combo works im severely allergic to aspirin so that's not an option. Any advice? Thanks

Thanks dont think im gonna go that route after all. The side effects kind of scare me. The last thing I need is heart issues and difficulty sleeping. Tried a diet red bull last night and was impressed on the energy boost.
A few years ago I did the ECA stack and don't reccomend it. If for no other reason than it made it impossible for me to fall asleep naturally. ...insert somanex, unisom, tylenol PM.... ...bad news. For me ephedrine was a crutch that just created more problems.
Very good point. Not a fan at all.

I have never heard of negative reactions between var and ephedrine. That being said, I'm not a big fan of ephedrine. Lots of sides. I wouldn't recommend it. A bit a caffeine here and there helps, but not a lot. Like anything else, there is no magic pill that will give you energy. Your work schedule is killer, so do your best to get your workouts in and sleep as much as possible. Over the long haul, that's your best best.
Thanks vhman. I've been trying to avoid red bull and all those other energy drinks because of the carbs and unfortunately I can't stand the taste of coffee. Im gonna start those insanity videos on my work days and do my weights on my offs...dont think its safe to lift after work because im dead tired.
Could just get some caffein pills. That way you avoid all the junk in the redbull and would probably be a lot cheaper too. A small (original) size can of redbull has 80mg of caffein. Caffein pills generally are 200mgs so you could just use half of one when you need an extra boost. Its about $5 on bodybuilding.com for a bottle of 100. I like how quick it kicks in, 5-10 minutes.
Thanks for the tip. Think I might have to try that because it takes 2 12oz sf red bulls right now to get me going.
I know how it goes. I was hooked on 5hr energies for a while when I worked long hrs. Id put one on my nightstand and down it before even getting out of bed in the morning.
I tried those 1 time got hot flashes and my face was so flushed. I felt like an old woman going through menopause lol
That sounds like a reaction to niacin would be my guess. I took a bunch of it once in highschool cuz I was told it would help you pass a pot screening. Worst day ever lol. I was red and streaky over my whole body and just absolutely burning up. Strangely no teachers ever asked what was wrong and I never did get that drug test.
Lol damn
A diet red-bull is much safer than ephedrine. I don't drink coffee either. I usually have one small, diet red-bull in the morning and then I have a pre-workout drink before I work out. I have to work out after work as well, but I'm not working 12 hours (9-10 hours). The pre-workout drinks work well to get me going and then when I get home, I crash just in time for bed.
Working out regularly will give you most of the energy you need, once you become regular. Do your best to carve out some time and stick to it.
