Do stimulants improve your life?

[Mr Anabolic]

With ephedrine?  I'd climb walls and rocket through the roof if I took it. Do you work within the science/engineering field?

Science. 

Small doses are the key.  I rarely take E anymore though.

Holy shit, I couldn't imagine that.

I'm sure some days I go over, I have a few coffees a day, couple of diet pepsi's then 2 scoops of pre workout sometimes...but 2000! jesus man. be careful.

Had a training partner in the early 90's who was taking that amount of caffeine plus 250mg of ephedrine on top of that.  Now that was insane.

Yeah, a combination of high workload and strict deadlines. I started to develop those nasty signs of caffeine intoxication like anxiety, but it went away as I completely removed all caffeine outside of work. I have tapered off to like 500mg a day now and have none of those old issues.

My bad, I was thinking about the "classic ECA stack" of like 30mg ephedrine 300mg caffeine + 1 aspirine. But wouldn't that American ADHD medicine be better for an interview? You supposedly get an insane amount of focus and clarity. I don't remember the name of it, but college students were popping it like candy when I did a semester overseas.

Eventually turns your brain into mush.  E&C are safer and don't need a Rx script to obtain.

Ouch, is it that bad?

The amount I take is miniscule compared to what they shot him up with.  I believe it helped me tremendously on the last 3 job interviews I had... got hired every time.  The secret is self-control.  Easy to abuse and get addicted (like so many on here seem to be).  I had workout partners who could not train without it... they have many health problems now, mainly due to ephedrine abuse.

I have only used pseudo-ephedrine with caffeine and even that works very well for focus and energy.

I have tried Ritalian, but was not impressed and found even pseudo-ephedrine to be more effective.

However, what did work very well was Modafinil, it gave the clarity and focus without the edginess of pseudo-ephedrine.

Probably Adderall, or the generic equivalent...Adderall is amphetamine and some guys like to use it to get high...recreational doses over an extended time will give you an enlarged heart due to chronic high blood pressure.
