Yes, there have been an increase in deaths due to herbal ephedrine...Ma Huang because it was being sold as " Herbal Ecstasy. " From what I have read, mostly teenagers, were taking HIGH doses of this drug thinking it was safe and would give them the same effects as the manufactured drug Ecstasy. Like any medication you must be careful and take the recommended doses. It will even say on most bottles that increased dosages will not improve results and may lead to serious side effects. I definitely agree that stacking is not for everyone! Many people on the newsgroup I belong to are stacking with great success, but many others have made the decision not to. So, if you choose to stack just be careful and cautious. Marilyn 152/134/125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 1999 Report Share Posted October 7, 1999 It's illegal mostly cause kids were taking big doses of it to get high, as an " ecstasy " (MDMA) substitute. There was a problem with some of them overdosing on it. " M.S.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 1999 Report Share Posted October 7, 1999 All I know is that some folks were saying that they were subbing stuff like Primatene mist, the over the counter stuff for asthma attacks, for the ephedrine, and that stuff all by itself makes my heart hammer like crazy... I took it exactly once, and will never take it again!!! Lis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 1999 Report Share Posted October 7, 1999 I read through the sites that were published here and did read about deaths too. I remember it saying that the level they had was about 500mg of ephedrine! Ack! It's very important NOT to exceed the dose! More is NOT better. " M.S.
