Albuterol

So, ive been lurking for quite some time now and I have learned a lot of useful stuff, and now I have a question...

I just started taking albuterol to drop some fat. Along with this I have dropped my caloric intake, and increased the cardio that I have been doing (up to 45 minutes a day) I am taking 2 controlled release 8mg tablets a day and have been for about 2 weeks now. Honestly I havent seen any results (I know better than not to expect anything dramatic immediately) but how long should i be on before I start to see results.

Im wondering if I would be better suited for clen rather than albuterol. What is your input?

Did you start out taking 16 mg a day? The correct way to take Albuterol is to dose it out 3 or 4 times throughout the day... if you are only taking it twice a day, it might be hindering your progress. Albuterol has a very short half life, only around 4 hrs... hence very little side effects. Clen on the other hand has a long half life, so you have to dose them differently to get results. I'd take a couple weeks off of it with some benadryl to make sure your receptors are fresh before you start back into it. Your receptors might by hyper-sensitive and down-regulation could be the problem...but its unlikely... just a guess. Take some Benadryl and see if it helps... it supposedly helps clean out the receptors to make Albuterol and Clen more effective... but give us some more info... diet, past fat burning supplement use, etc...

WannaBeHulk is a name known to all

who the hell makes 8mg tablets of albuterol? sounds like a bunk source to me. with all these variables changing (decrease cals, increase cardio, incorporate albuterol) some weight loss must have occurred. my advice is to take a break from beta antagonists for awhile then give albuterol another shot but buy from a trusted source

Volmax makes 8 mg tabs. (see the description here) I also increased my lifting quite a bit so maybe I am not seeing it because I am counteracting the fat loss with muscle gain? (id love to think so)
