Q: Ephedra
asked by: sucre22 on January 24th, 2006

Is ephedra really as effective as its made out to be? I know it is banned but I am seriously considering using it after my recent weight gain. I am 5'10" and weigh about 160lb. I want to be around 125 lb which is low for my weight, but I do have a small body frame. So I have to lose almost 40 lb, quickly, to keep my modeling contract. Does anyone have suggestions?

It is effective but it is very dangerous as well. If there is a slight chance that you have any type of undiagnosed disorder with your heart, it will kill you.

.D.E.A.D.

This is why the american market is closed to effedra/ma huang to be purchased over the counter. There are resources available to be prescribed by doctors for weight loss.

You life is worth more than one job.

I've taken it before ...It increases you heart rate alot and if you abuse the drug you will die or if you have a weak heart. But if you just looking for weight lose don't be lazy cause losing weight isnt easy. There are other things on the market that are completely safe for example 'hydroxycut' all you need is a good diet and a good exercise program if you think just taking the ephedrine without any of the above then nothing with happen. (i'm assuming this because I don't remember reading anything about exercise with it)

p.S do not have sex or masturbate!!!!


It will shrink your balls (not penis).....I have experienced it myself...

I am on a diet right now, I am doing a restricted calorie high protein diet with some cardio 3-4 times a week. And I am a woman, so I don't think the penis shrinking applies to me. :)

did you have any good results with ephedra? Have you taken the new ephedra free hydroxycut?

The only otc medicines I take are tylenol, motrin, asprin, and a one a day mens formula multi-vitamin

i have never and will never take a diet pill. If I need to take off weight I will do it the old fashioned way. Diet and excersise. Once istop losing, I know I am in the right spot.
