OK, I walked up to Genesis and bought some (a 20-minute walk each way, good exercise, even if I don't get anything else out of it!) The brand is "Ultra X-Plode" (sounds x-rated! and a weird name for a decongestant, which is what the label identifies it as, obviously due to some sort of labelling regulation) and it's 90 caps for $14.89. It's ephedra only, Ma Huang, with 8% ephedrine (24 mg/cap). The brand Wa'il was mentioning up above is straight ephedrine, which from your last post, Doreen, isn't as good.

I went into the pharmacy and got some gel caps (empty) so I can split each capsule into two doses.

I'm going to check the whole topic out some more before I actually try it.

I'm hoping it'll provide a little extra lift for those SAD days; any weight loss will be a bonus. If nothing else, I threw out my decongestant caps, since they contain that drug they're now saying causes strokes; suppose the ephedra can't be any worse than that!

Well, we'll see. I'll do more research, and keep you posted!
