First of all, thank you very much for all the information. Just a couple of questions...
> It is helpful in weightloss
Could this be dangerous to someone already a stone below the bottom of the "normal" weight range for their height?
> Many bodybuilders alternate ephedrine and yohimbine. Take one for a week, take the other for a week. They feel similar to each other.
Is ephedrine likely to be as effective as yohimbine for what I'm considering using it for?
> Its MAOi activities are weak, but both it and ephedrine should not be used with certain drugs due to their norepinephrine releasing properties(no nonselective MAOi's, or other norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors).
Other NRI's, such as?
> It has a relatively short half life so you'll probably be dosing it 2-3 times daily.
Does this mean it has a severe withdrawal syndrome?
> Nearly without exception, the people who have died or had bad reactions from using these over the counter stimulants had preexisting heart conditions, took massive dosages, or combined them with other street stimulants.
What is considered a massive dosage?
> The biggest thing I would worry about with you is an increase in anxiety.

> Well I don't imagine you want to read a book so I'll stop there.
I'll read it if you write it! I like to know as much as I can about meds before I take them now. I wasn't aware of AD withdrawal until I'd gone cold turkey twice. I had quite a serious experience the first time. Since then I've learned to respect drugs much more (more than the health professionals, anyway :-) ).
Thanks again,
