Ephedrine and headaches

So I recently got a hold of pure ephedrine tabs (unfortunately my source is not actually sure what the mg are per tab, which is not handy, but ok) and let me say in two words: holy ****! The energy ephedrine gives, is insane. I literally could have worked out forever today and not get tired. The problem is, half way through my workout (two tabs were taken), insane ****ing headaches we're encountered. Ok, so I did take caffeine with it (probably not a great idea). Apart from that, everything was great.

Will probably take away caffeine next workout with these.

Any other recommendations to reduce these insane headaches . It would be a shame to have to cut workouts short, when the energy it gives is out of this world.

try leaving in the caffeine[200mg is plenty]and take just 1 tab of ephedrine.
 
You don't know how much ephedrine is in there and take two tabs? Maybe he gave you 50mg tabs as they are sold for veterinary purposes in EU.

Try to lower the ephedrine dose.

Will deffo do this. I assumed 25mg, but yeh, after the headaches, it's clear two tabs was too much.

Why didnt you find out the dose? Your first mistake is not knowing what mg the tabs are, that's ridiculous, dose is obviously important and you dont know if your taking 25, 50 or 100 mgs. Thats the biggest concern.

also caffeine is synergistic with ephedrine with fatloss, and its a widely accepted combination and has been for some time.

I started ephedrine this week at 10 mgs. Yes its low. A week before that 200 mgs caffiene, and a week before that 100 mgs caffeine. Always start small and work your way up. Something that can help is l-theanine, either take it with ec stack or dose it mid and/ or later day.

Yeh. It was a bit dumb. I did contact to find out the mg, but they had no idea. I actually did not realise they could come in 50, or 100mgs. Thankfully everything else was smoothing sailing apart from the mid session headache.

Think I'm going to start with half a tab and see from there.

Getting scientific now, you already been up to two tabs. If a tab is 50 or 100 mgs you could go down to a half, or leave a whole one in. Ive the the EC stack for all six competitions i've competed in and my highest dosing ever was 50 mgs. I split mine, and dont take them mid-day or after, because for me, I must have my sleep or Im not functioning optimally. 100 mgs is high, although I have known some competitors to take it . I personally err on the side of caution on stimulates.

are you having any issues sleeping?

Ephedrine can jack your blood pressure up quickly, especially in high doses. I almost always get posterior headaches during workouts while on EC stack. Keep the caffeine and lower ephedrine dose like somebody else already suggested.
 
Ephedrine tends to have a lot of the same qualities and effects as amphetamine. But with a more pronounced effect on the heart.

Update: so took only half a tab today (with NO caffeine) - same great energy, no headaches. Perfect.

actually caffeine has synergy with ephedrine....I've used eph for so many years I don't get much energy lift from it by itself, combined with caffeine is good to go.

but on the other hand maybe it's a good thing to work your way into the caffeine/eph combo.
