Can Ephedrine cause physical addiction? Anyone have any experience?

Yes, as a powerful stimulant, it is indeed possible. Prolonged usage..

I am sure it can, but I doubt many have gone to rehab for that alone. If someone was addicted to another stimulant I am sure they could take ephedrine instead,but I think most drug addicts will find or make/find meth or crack instead.

I just meant is it addictive like other drugs. An extreme example would be heroin. If it is on the same lines as caffeine thats fine but I would never fuck with something that was addictive like cocaine or something similar.

The worst case scenario is an addiction similar to caffeine addiction. I don't think you can get any worse than that.

The main thing about these low scale addiction is when and what you take the substance for.
Caffeine for example, you usually get your coffee buzz in the morning to be awake. If you don't get your fix you'll feel that the whole day will be shitty.
With ephedrine or any other stims you only take em pre workout. If you don't take em, you'll feel shitty all through your workout but you won't be thinking about it outside your workout.

Thanks. I thought that would be the case. I am planning on taking some for my diet for about a 16 week period. Since I will be taking it every day I just wanted to see what others had to say about becoming addicted to it.

Your body will readapt once you stop after a long period of time. I found that stopping the ephedrine/caffeine, then going to caffeine only, then going down to nothing worked best. I mean it still takes some time to feel normal again but it will happen without any major problems like other drugs. Caffeine users who stop drinking coffee get the same effect and they just deal with it.

I would never take more than 25mg of ephedrine per dose and no more than 3x per day either.I have a lot of friends who used to take so much and it really makes everything so much harder and the results fatloss wise are the same but they obviously wanted that " first dose " feeling everytime.

Hell yes it can.....................

When you stop after prolonged use, expect to feel tired for about a month, and have your metabolism screech to a halt with some nice fat gain rebound

best to wean off
