How long does ephedrine stay in the system?
« on: February 20, 2008, 12:25:25 PM »
I'm wondering. I hear it stays in your body for up to 5 days or less.

Would you test positive for amphetamines if you're taking ephedrine?

How long does it stay in the system? I'm hearing 5 days or less, but I need to know.

Everything you wrote is correct..
If you get busted for amfe.... you could demand a Better test and tell them that you use ephedrine though :)

But I would say around 3 days though..

I take Bronkaid sometimes in the morning with coffee.. Not really for weight loss but to get though a long day, or sometimes to do late minute things. I used to use a lot for workouts, but realized it doesn't make much of a differnce in the long run.

I don't wanna take a piss test and test positive for amphetamines.

Would it be wise to tell the tester of Bronkaid before the test? It's an OTC thing, so I doubt it'd be a big deal.

It's not a big deal.  The urinalysis should allow (require) you to indicate which OTC and prescription meds you are on.  Just add bronkaid to it.  You will likely test positive for amphetamines if this isn't accounted for.  I've done it twice with no repercussions.

I may find out quickly about this...I'm a D.O.T. driver that gets randomly tested. Sometimes it may be 3 months between, or it could be every week. It sucks, but I don't really have anything to worry about-except my "love" for ephedrine.
I ended up getting called last week for a random test, and it didn't occur to me till after the test that I had a Redline Extreme the day before.
I'm not worried about it at all, however, you never know what the hell could happen. Should I be called in with a failed test result, I would simply explain what happened.
CJ- why do you need to know how long it's in and out of your system? ??? ::)

Are you sure prescription only?

You can still buy ephedrine in truck stops and gas stations. I thought it legal as long as it is not included in a weight-loss preparation.

This would make it legal, yes?

Because ephedrine is similar to amphetamines(speed, meth), so one could end up testing positive for those when tested and taking something with ephedrine in it.

Good question I really don't know if it's legal but a friend just bought some online from Canada, good stuff.

You take 2 ephedrine per day, right?

If you want to beat the drug test, why not take 14 pills (7 days x 2 pills) on Sunday morning?

That way it'll be out of your system for a wednesday test!

Perhaps we should rephrase our question to you:

WHY are you being tested for anything? Are you a D.O.T. driver like myself? Maybe you raped a little boy and since you were caught you have to piss in a cup weekly?

My guess is that his parents are testing him because he's been exhibiting wacky behavior on purpose as part of his "I'm high on OTC supplements" kick.   ;D

If you try this and you die, don't blame me.  I just asked if it'd be a good idea.  I didn't recommend it.  Seems like a little much to me.

240 you should be careful about your advice on the net, it can and will be used in the court of law. Ofcourse you know that, itnernet is made just to controle us.

I just hope MattT doest end up dying, cause there is plenty of evidence that you will be convicted as a killer. The evidence is strong and its out there.
