Title: first time on EC stack....
Post by: pobrecito on July 19, 2006, 01:35:40 PM
25mg E/ 200mg C

once at 6 am and another dose at noon.

I've noticed I've had a few nose bleeds, I'm sweating a lot more (esp. working out), and sometimes I get pretty nausius from the caffeine I believe.

Are these effects normal?

I use EC 5x per week and will take a week off every 4th week. Thanks

take it easy on the ephedrine.

Read the sticky on the supplement board.

I'll see what I can do 8)

I think my body adapted to the EC stack a little better the last few days of this week.

Most of my trouble was coming with the second dose with my lunch. I'm not sure of the half-life of E and C but that combined with the few sodas I was having may have been just too much caffeine in my system.

But also I've been working in non A/C buildings this summer and it's been very hot here in the midwest (heat index >105) so that added to the problems as well. I was staying very well hydrated though. Drinking 45-50 ounces of water every 30 minutes.

Sounds like high blood pressure to me.  You should go to the docs for a standard check-up.  In the meantime, I'd cut the dosage in half, that should help. 

Do not stop taking EC cold turkey... taper off slowly over 5-7 days.
