I'm sure you know this, but the cardiotoxic effects of ephedra are much more severe both for people who have eating disorders and women in general (a presumption based on your username).
I won't pretend to know what you're going through but I know how difficult the urge to lose weight can be to ignore. If you're set on taking something, in the interest of harm-reduction, you should know that it's quite dangerous to mix an MAOI with most of the prescription (and many of the OTC) weight-loss drugs. The ones that affect serotonin actually are probably the most dangerous (this is what caused the phen-fen deaths).
I'm really not qualified to give you any [other] advice but I hope you know that there are people here willing to listen without passing judgement.
> Thank you for your response. I want to use the ephedra for weight loss. I know my doctor won't prescribe anything because I am anorexic and he doesn't want me losing any more weight.
