33 Year Old Female Addicted to Ephedrine. Posted: 05-02-06 23:08pm
Hello,
i have been addicted to epedrine for
aprox. 11years. I have to stop, I have a
9 month old beautiful girl and a husband
who is sooo! Against my hurting my body
that it will ruin my marriage. I don't
want to go to one of those group meetings.
I am looking for someone elso to share my
story, I know that there are many out
there. I am scared that I won't be able
to function, no matter how hard I try the
weight might come back. I do not want to
be dealing with this and trying to raise a
child.
For the first time ever, I will say that I
am a drug addict, I am addicted to
ephedrine,
please share your story with me.

Eleven years is a while to be addicted to
anything.
However you're addicted to ephedrine.
It's a dangerous stimulant but not half as
psychologically addictive as amphetamines
(adderall, dexedrine, crystal meth), it
doesn't make you half as high as those,
and it's not physically addictive.
Just taper your dosage over a period of
2-weeks to a month. There shouldn't be
any dangerous withdrawal. Even if you
were to suddenly quit, you'll probably
just deal with one whole week of
sleepiness/lethargy.
Stick to reducing slowly. If you have
trouble doing this, try drinking coffee as
a substitute.
It should work out. We're not talking
painkillers or even alcohol. This is as
easy an addiction to quit as any.
And once you're off the ephedrine, you can
always try caffeine pills and coffee.
Caffeine is another addiction, but it's
1000% safer than ephedrine ever will be.
Hope this helps!
