NO more fat burners with Ephedra?

Is this true?

Sassyz75 Posted: Sep 16, 2003 11:11 PM

I am not sure if it's true in NY.. I know it's illegal in Illinois & a lot of drug stores are voluntarily not carrying them anymore b/c there's a lot of risk associated with them and potential for law suits.

I know you have to get stackers somewhere- although a lot of Docs would say you shouldn't take it- what about all those athletes that croak on it! be careful girl...

but I bet if you go to google.com and do a search you'd find it.

I know it's illegal in CA as well. I just tossed my old Hydroxycuts just in case I was tempted to take them. Gonna be careful with the heart but they were great

GOOD! It should be illegial everywhere. Why should something taht has proven to cause heart attacks and other health problems be legal????

With the increased marketing and use of these products, FDA has received an increasing number of reports of adverse reactions associated with their use. These reported reactions vary from the milder adverse effects known to be associated with sympathomimetic stimulants (e.g., nervousness, dizziness, tremor, alternations in blood pressure or heart rate, headache, gastrointestinal distress) to chest pain, myocardial infarction, hepatitis, stroke, seizures, psychosis, and death. These adverse reactions have been reported both in young, otherwise healthy individuals and persons with confounding or complicating conditions such as hypertension.

You can still get Stacker. They make them Ephedra free now. They aren't as strong which is dissapointing but, they still work.

Re: NO more fat burners with Ephedra?

I don't know guys- is being DEAD worth losing weight? People who are athletes have DIED from taking this!

jenny2penny Posted: Sep 17, 2003 11:03 AM

Re: NO more fat burners with Ephedra?

not only athletes,,but regular people too have had serious effects, even death. Does not seem worth it to me.

Re: NO more fat burners with Ephedra?

I agree with the warnings...but remember that ephedra has been used for asthma for years...

and anything that cannot be found in the US...can be found (online) in mexico...

Re: NO more fat burners with Ephedra?

I think the Harmons by me still sells stackers.

Re: NO more fat burners with Ephedra?

I think i will pass on popping diet pills. My friend and his girlfriend are both taking ephedra free trim Spa....I will stick to Weight Watchers

Re: NO more fat burners with Ephedra?

I bought regular Stackers about a year and a half ago because my friend swore by them and said they gave her a great boost when working out but I didn't sleep a wink for 4 days straight. I realized that something was definitely wrong with that and after 2 weeks I threw them in the trash. I now use Ephedra free Xenedrine but other than 'cleaning me out' every few days, I don't think it works too well.

Re: NO more fat burners with Ephedra?

I also tried some diet pills...And I couldnt sleep for days...and my heart was beating like crazy so I stopped

Re: NO more fat burners with Ephedra?

Girls seriously be careful because it can be very addicting as well; it can give you a high and that is why many people take it. It is also called 'ma huang' so be careful of diet pills claiming they are ephedra free when you look at the ingredients on the back often you will still see 'ephedra or ma huang'.
