Once, I took some Rip Fuel that contain ephedra. I worked out for an hour and it really didn't improve my workout. After that we drove to Vegas. The next 5-7 hours were hell. I felt my heart pumping like a race horse. I couldn't stay still in my seat. My heart started calming down after I started pounding a couple of brews, but I wasn't right the whole night. That was the only and last time I used ephedra based products.
On another occasion my roomate was taking the same Rip Fuel. For days he kept complaining about chest pains and lack of breath. He continued taking the pills since he didn't think they were the cause of his complications. I kept telling him to stop taking the pills, but he wanted to lose weight. Basically, he stopped taking those pills when I took him to the ER during the middle of the night. He said he couldn't breathe, so I rushed him to the ER.
Other athletes have died while pounding ephedra, so in my opinion, what the fuck was the government thinking. This should have been done a long time ago. |
Lethal if used improperly. Some people are not cut out for it; especially, if you are sensitive to caffeine. I have taken ephedra for almost two years straight with a month off cycle in between and I was fine. |
I only took one pill. I wouldn't say I'm sensitive to caffeine either. Plus, I can handle Red Bulls. My roomate was taking the proper amount. My take is that ephedra should not be an over the conter product. Too many people have died, or have gone to the ER because ephedra. If you want the supplement then go to your doctor and have him give you a prescription. That easy. |
