Ephedrine
Please tell me more about Ephedrine/Ephedrin. I've heard alot about this drug and I'm curious to know what's all the fuss about.

Dear 10
Products that contain ephedrine, pseudo-epinephrine or synephrine can cause a long list of negative side-effects (dependence, addiction, tremors, insomnia, palpitations, irritability, psychotic reactions, etc). These products have been banned in many countries because of their negative side-effects, which include addiction and dependence. Rather leave slimming pills and potions alone and eat a balanced, energy reduced diet and combine it with regular exercise to lose that weight.
