View Full Version : Ephedrine Freak Out!
Blondell
06-10-2006, 12:57 PM
I need someone to tell me that I'm freaking out for no reason, please!
I'm getting ready to order more ephedrine and everywhere I go is either out or saying they will no longer carry it as of June 30! My usual brand is Mega-Pro (vasopro) and it seems that it has been discountinued. I figured my next choice would be Biotek, but it appears that as of June 30 it won't be sold on any of the online retailers I visited. Does anyone know what's going on? :unsure:
I thought ephedrine was taken off the market a couple years ago. Am I confusing it with something else? :confused:

blondell is anybody carrying it for asthmatics or lung issues? bronchodilater, etc?

Well, the place I normally order mine is out of stock but I didn't see anything that said they would be discontinuing it..it did say that they wouldn't be stocking the biotek after the 30th..I hope thy get some more in, I was planning on reordering in a week or so..I have found it at a couple of other places but it is much pricier..

The prices are only up on the stacks. You can still get Ephedrine SOMEWHERE for cheap. Have you been to any supplement stores? Cuz I was having the same problem the other day and had a mini freak out about the whole thing, and ended up going to a supply store here, and they had a WALL of Ephedrine. They had it in packs of 12 bottles too...so I bought 12 bottles(you're only allowed to buy ONE pack at a time, hahaha, I'm gonna send my buddy to buy me another one lol)....And it was only 60 bucks!!! So only 5 bucks a pop. All the expensive ones I have seen are the ones that are already the stack. If youwant me to somehow grab you a pack of 12 and send it to you, let me know.

I want a pre-workout stim for the summer that doesn't involve a hot cup of coffee. And at some point, I'll probably want it for its muscle-sparing effect during a cut.

It helps w/ appetite suppression.
fitmommy
06-10-2006, 04:09 PM
I am looking for an appetite suppresant too...I hate being hungry! But I was always afraid of taking ephedrine. I gues there is a difference between ephedra and ephedrine though. I just learned that.
I guess I don't even have to worry about it now 'cause it seems like it's really hard to get.
I did not know it had "muscle sparing effects during cut" that is really interesting. I'll have to remember that...if I ever get any.

Exactly. "Chaz", our local guy always has some behind the counter. :lol: But I usually stick to Bronkaid. Of course, now I'm curious if that's disappearing. It's been a few months since I bought any.
Blondell
06-11-2006, 11:28 PM
I went to a few stores yesterday and Bronkaid was still there. For how long I dont know though. :(
What's the difference between
Bronkaid - Ephedrine sulfate
Vasopro - Ephedrine hydrochloride

For practical purposes, nothing. Just bonded to a different ligand.

Does psuedoephedrine do the same?
jaleena
06-11-2006, 11:48 PM
Doesn't do anything for me stim-wise...don't know if it has a muscle-sparing effect? Has a similar "I can breathe!" effect, though :shrug:

Just stock up on Bronkaid now...the shelf life is a long time, and it's fully-effective for a long time after that, provided you aren't storing it in a shed in the South.

Just get some clenbuterol.
I ordered a gram of clenbuterol and that's enough to last me the rest of my life (typical dosing is 80-200mcg/day, with 1 mcg being 1/10,000th of a gram)
jaleena
06-12-2006, 01:05 AM
Uh-oh. Checked my confirmation e-mail from the order I placed yesterday, they're not letting me order in bulk...I get one bottle. Lots in the bottle, but not the half-a-lifetime-supply I thought I was getting.
Maybe we should blame Matt...he seems to want us to use clen, and now it's looking like it'll be easier to come across than ephedrine in a few weeks :uuhh:

What in the world do you use to weigh micrograms? The 5 decimal point scales that we use at work are not cheap.

The Bronkaid pack I bought came with 48 pills for about $6, I think. I'm taking one a day, so that oughta last awhile. Vasopro is out, huh? Bummer. I think I'm gonna check around my pharmacy and see what else is available. I love EC, so I'd be real pissed if I couldn't get ephedrine OTC anymore. :curse:
I did have to whip out my driver's license to buy it, so I'm guessing The Man is checking up on quantity. A meth lab blows up in my town at least once a week, so it's pretty well scrutinized around here. I'm curious how many boxes I can buy in a certain period of time before I start noticing unmarked cars across the street from my house? :ninja: :lol:

As of June 30th, 2006, we will no longer be selling Biotek Ephedrine, Synergy EC, or 2alpha,17 alpha-dimethyl-17beta.
I haven't read this thread, but someone update me; is ephedrine HCl being banned in the US?

This is part of the problem, Erik. When you try and research what is going on it doesn't tell you much. It seems that the "powers that be" are trying to do things under the table. It seems as though something is going on. Although it hasn't been made "public" I do believe that access to it is being buckled down even more than it is now.

I just went to Target to get some Target brand decongestant. Now you have to go to the pharmacy counter to get it and they would only sell me 1. What a pain!!! :rolleyes: Oh, and I had to give them my driver's license, which she typed into the computer, and I had to write down my address in a log. Whooo hoooo!! I'm settin' up my lab tonight!
This is the first I've heard of this, though I still have a bottle of Hydroxycut from probably 5years ago that I haven't finished so I don't go looking for it often! I've been thinking of getting some more but I have a hard time finding something that doesn't either a) make my heart feel like it's going to pop out of my chest or b) give me a headache if I take it more than three days in a row and then stop for a day. I tried Hydroxycut and it suggests like up to 3 pills 4 times a day and even 1 a day makes my heart race if I don't use it right before a work-out :(

OK, I just ordered a bottle of ephedrine from Bulk nutrition.(maybe I should get another?) I was thinking I should get some now while I can. So when I want to use it I can.
What dosage do you all take? one a day? One 3xdly? Inform the uninformed please.
Maybe FDA will lighten up a little. Another thing, even if ephedrine is banned in the US, why can't I buy it from say Canada on the internet? Do they block sales to the US?
Blondell
06-12-2006, 06:01 PM
I take 25mg 2x day.
It's more of a legality issue, for me. I don't wanna break the law. If it is going to be considered illegal, that's what bothers me. If I wanted to break the law I'd be taking clen. Ephedrine is legal and that is why I choose it. :)
strongchick
06-12-2006, 06:01 PM
I read about this via my pharma company's newbulletin a few months ago. You cannot buy pseudoephedrine OTC in the US anymore. You have to go through the pharmacy, give your info, and you're only allowed a certain amount per month to buy.
Don't know about ephedrine HCl, though.

Thankyou for the dosage info
Your right about the law thing. It just seems odd that ephedra/ephedrine would be illegal, doesn't register.
Clen on the other hand, I have only heard the hyped up "ways it could kill me,it's only for animals" routine, so it never crossed my mind to take it.

I didn't.
I weighed out the gram of powder (just to make sure it was close enough) and mixed it in a liter of proplyene glycol.

Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine can be used to manufacture methamphetamine. Individual states are voting to limit their sale and/or moving them behind the pharmacy counter.

In Oregon not only is it going behind the counter, shortly it's going to be by prescription only :rolleyes:

The funny thing is, after all this happens, it may be easier to get crystal meth than ephredrine.
Exactly. I'm gonna be disappointed when I can buy meth, crack, and cocaine easier than ephedrine. :sad:
I've looked at the chemistry for making meth from ephedrine you buy OTC (don't even ask), and that's a major pain in the ass. These people with their home labs are devoted. I think around here, most people can get the precursors from fertilizers... most of north Louisiana is farm land, so there are massive tanks of fertilizer all over the place off the back roads.

So, are they just controlling ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, or will they also be controlling all the "fat burners" like Hydroxycut and SAN Tight that also increase heartrate, etc.?

It can stay because it's no more effective than a cup of coffee. And as much as the FDA would like to regulate that, they can't because there'd be a sudden plethora of lobbyists from Starbucks. Ephedrine and Sudafed don't have that multi-billion dollar industry thing going on to protect it.

Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine can be used to manufacture methamphetamine. Individual states are voting to limit their sale and/or moving them behind the pharmacy counter.
I was reading through this post to see if someone addressed this. Yes, many states are getting strict about the sale of pseudoephedrine and ephedrine, but it has nothing to do with ephedra. It is because meth labs are everywhere, and they're trying to keep a record of who buys the stuff. There are still some places you can grab it right off the shelf, but most places require you to ask a pharmicist, and everywhere in Georgia requires you to fill out paperwork.
BTW, I buy Primatene Tablets (12.5 mg Ephedrine HCL) So far, they're still available everywhere, but it does require a little frustration. :p

Not down here, we've just got the mist, which has epinepherine.

The dosage for pseudoephedrine isn't the same, is it? I take 25mg ephedrine 2x day. Many of the products w/ pseudo have 60mg per svg. What is the equivalent of 25mg eph.?

they carry ephidrine at all the gas stations here(minnesota). they have a limit of 2 at a time. i don't think you have to sign them out there. at pharmacies you do though

I'm glad I ordered the day before the increase....but if that's not bad enough the last time I ordered the biotek (which was only about a month ago) it was 48 mini tabs for $5.99. This time it's 24 gel tabs. (same dose per pill). First the dose per container got cut in half and then the price went up $3. Sheesh.
I still laugh when I think of Val's plan - buy meth (cheap and readily available) to make ephedrine. :lol:

Well this really sucks! I mean I guess I understand the *theory* behind all of it, but really, it won't stop meth from being made. :sad:

I totally agree....they probably don't even think it will actually have any real impact on the manufacturing / use of meth - but it's something they can point to and say they "did".
Can't you just imagine the campaign ads about "taking action" :blah: :blah: :blah:
FYI: You can buy Bronkaid and Primatene tablets at www.drugstore.com at reasonable price plus free shipping on orders over $25. I bought 4 boxes of Bronkaid 60 ct. caps (25mg ephedrine sulfate) for $9.99 each with no shipping charges. The also didn't question the number of boxes that I bought.

You know, it just confuse me when people go ''oorahh-oorahh'' over an 6,99$ or 8,99$ for a bottle of 60 tablets of ephedrine. It's not how much tablets that does count, but how much gram per tablet is offered. I used to take ephedrine when I was training intensively, it would cost me about 4,99$ for a bottle of 50 tab of 8g each. Of course, to see results I needed to take like 3 or 4 tabs so I could meet the standard requirement of 30 mg along 200mg of caffeine.
But, yeah, the trick is to ask some people behind the counter in a private supplement store, most of the time, they have some ephedrine. Prefererably to a guy, while showing a little bit of your cleavage. ;) :D

IMO, it's not the idea that $8.99 is sooooo outrageous considering how well the product works, it's the idea that suppliers use the fact that ephedrine may become harder to get as a reason to double the price for the product in a matter of days.

yep - and like i said about a month ago the same brand came in a bottle of 48 tablets and now you get 24 gel caps (both the tabs and the gelcaps are 25 mg ephedrine hcl). so first they cut the amount you get in half and then they raised the price. :curse:
thanks for the drugstore.com tip by the way! :cool:

I was reading through this thread again and I just wondered if anyone has bought ephedrine after June 30th yet? It seems that websites still have it for sale, but many are out of stock. I am going to buy some but was wondering which is everyone's favorite brand and which websites have people used without problems?
