Ephedrine and caffeine for depression?
A few years ago I started taking a ‘triple stack’ – ephedrine, aspirin, and caffeine – before working out to boost my energy, and it seemed to work very well (the old versions of Metabolife and Hydroxycut had a similar formula).
Suffering from moderate depression, I also found that when I take this combination, it really made me feel much better! I have a definite change in feeling throughout the day and able to have a somewhat normal outlook on things when I take this combination. Not only is my energy level up, but I have much more positive thoughts and generally feel much better.
I am not taking any antidepressants, but I do take this combination several times a week to get me through the day. Is this safe? Better or worse than taking a prescribed antidepressant? Any long-term dangerous effects? I do not have high blood pressure or any other health problems.

daily intake of aspirin in known to cause problems.
i use caffeine as an anti depressant. i have consumed more than a half gal(sometimes over a gal.) of diet colas a day for over 15yrs.
i even saw a doctor on TV say that caffeine is used as an anti depressant(usually unknowingly)
do i think your combo is safe? i doubt it. the potential problem is that by the time you might experience problems it might be irreversible.
diet mountain dew and diet pepsi max are my colas of choice. they both have more caffeine than most.
is what i do safe? probably not. but i’ll take a shorter life over a longer period of day to day depression
