I started taking ephedrine a week ago to aid excersise and weight loss. 1 pill per day.

i used to take ephedrine, i hated how shaky it made me. I would advise you to at least cut out the coffee when you are taking your pills. The extra caffeine is probably what is making you so dizzy. Make sure you don’t overuse the medication and drink lots of water when you work out. Eating some healthy greens or fruit before you work out and take the pills might also help. Make sure you stay well hydrated, when you are using things like ephedrine can be dangerous if not taken properly and can race up your heart beat. Make sure you take them early enough so they don’t effect you getting to sleep. It’s also important to only take them if you plan on moving around, if you take ephedrine and sit around you will feel very sluggish and drained. If you start to get headaches like you can with it, make sure you take a break from the pills.
