Oops, maybe I misspoke about the U.S. legal status of ephedrine. (Maybe I mixed it up in my mind with PPA?) In any case, I would be pretty cautious about the ephedrine and it's possible effects on the heart.


> I have also been thinking, off and on, about taking topiramate/Topamax (not sure on spelling of either) for appetite supression. I have discussed it with my psychiatrist. He's not a big fan of it, but would be willing to let me try. The big thing that has held me back from going forward with it is the common side effect of it lowering people's intelligence while on it (hence it's nickname Dopamax).
