...but after all the drama, do you guys think people will start taking it again? I had heard about this so to test, I ordered this:
http://www.911healthshop.com/extreme-power-plus-ephedra.html
I got it and it does contain ephedra. I am afraid to take it, though. About 3 years and 20 lbs ago, Diet Fuel with ephedra helped me drop lbs in a short amount of time. It never had any ill effects (that I know of), but after being banned, I am afraid of it.
I personally don’t need to lose weight now, but I do like to have backup metabolism help when I throw my healthy eating habits out around that time of the month or if I am too busy to exercise for a few weeks.
Will anyone here take it? Did anyone used to take it back in the day?

I took straight Ephedra for years and had no adverse side affects. I burned fat, exercised like a demon and was healthy. I stockpiled prior to the ban but am running out! I think if you are healthy and don't overdo the Ephedra, you'd probably be ok.

Well, I know that we have still been able to get ephedrine and pseudoephedrine for cold meds, but it is the combination in the diet drugs that helps with real weight loss (so I’v read). Caffeine and ephedrine together can work, but the amount of pseudoephedrine in say, Sudafed, can be up to 120 mg which is a lot to be popping large doses of supplemental caffeine with. I read that some women have been taking Sudafed with ephedra /ma haung free supplements to get the effect they used to get before the drama. Now that is a bit too much.

I used to take Ripped Fuel w/Ephedra. I had no adverse reactions. I will use it again. The only other diet pills I found that matched were Stacker 2's.

I apologize in advance. A lot of sites are blocked from where I work so I cannot see the link. Is it true that ephedra is available again?
I used Zenadrine several years ago. It helped to curb my appetite and gave me that extra boost I needed to get a quality workout in. I dropped weight like nobody's business. Is it possible to get Xenadrine w/ephedra again?

I really want to try this after reading over it...but I'm afraid of spending the money if it's garbage...has anyone else taken this?

One of my co-workers said that she took Metabolife with the Ephedra in it some years ago. She went from being a size 20 to her current size 8 in no time!!! She did tell me that she abused the pills-she took 3 or 4 per meal instead of the suggested 1 or two. She exceeded the daily limit everyday for more than a year. My other co-worker said that she tried Metabolife and she had really bad side effects from it. She said that her heart would race really fast,her scalp would tingle, and she got bad headaches. I, personally, would not try a drug that has already been banned for use in dieting products (Especially hearing about the side effects :nono: ) But, I'll have to tell her that I heard that it's not banned anymore-she'll probably go out and buy a year's supply!!!

I would not wan tto do anything unhealthy like that. I never understood why they were banned anyway. I mean cold meds can have 120mg of edphedrine. I know they are somewhat different, but the amount of the amount in some cold meds is WAY more than that in diet meds. I think diet meds combine other ingredients that make it effective for weight loss.
My aunt lives in a county in Jackson Mississippi that even banned selling those cold meds.
