No, I have never used ephedrine.

From my first post...
"I have been a little dismayed at the amount of amino acids I need to consume to stay focused, which leads me to believe something is wrong in my NE regulation or that it is getting overactively oxidized in my brain. I still have the feeling of fighting something from day-to-day that I would like a little more help with."Basically: inattentive-type ADD. However, lately I felt something more like depression creeping back in during the evenings. So I bought some tincture of St. John's Wort to start that up when I feel like I have the yohimbe "dialed in". I am not taking it at the moment so I don't complicate the picture unnecessarily.
Today I bumped my daily dosage of the yohimbe tincture to 75 drops (25, thrice a day) from 60. 90-120 is the range recommended on the bottle (it's from Herb Pharm) so I am starting out rather conservative in case I am sensitive or allergic to it. I felt some irritability today which leads me to believe I am approaching the threshold of the real stimulant effects. On Monday if things go well I will bump it up to 90.
I am also taking per day:
3 Solaray Twice-Daily Fe-Free Energy Formula Multivitman and Mineral (gotta get your A, B's, C, and E!)
6 GNC DLPA 400 (1200 mg D-phenylalanine, 1200 mg L-phenylalanine)(may try increasing this sometime up to 9 if I feel the yohimbe needs more assistance with precursor loading)
6 Nature's Way Tru-OPCs (450 mg of OPCs)(will take this down to the maintenance dose of 225 mg in two weeks time as recommended on the bottle)
