> I believe the story is always the same with ephedrine/ Ma huang. That is increased energy and, for some, elevated mood for a time and then a crash where you are lower than when you started. I would suggest you avoid either of these. BTW take claims on the internet, especially by those selling there products, with a grain of salt.

It's bad for you, can cause heart deffects. When I took it I could run for miles (18 miles non stop at one point). I became very thin at first, I had lots of energy but it made me very bitchy.
I'm now on Wellbutrin SR (3 wks) and have had no side effects, I sleep like a baby, I have not lost weight, and I wonder if it's because of the ephedrine. I am to embarrassed to tell my doctor I was hooked on ephedrine.
As far as I can tell Wellbutrin has had no effect on me.
What do you think?
