I took the original Xenadrine from 01-02 and lost 40 plus pounds. I kept if off for about 2 years, but gained it all back eventually. I've since (3 years ago) had Lap Band surgery. It made me lose about 30 pounds, but have gained it back!! I am now taking the Primatene tablets 1/3x day, and am having minimal progress. Thanks for this board! I will now get the caffeine and aspirin. Personally, I feel like the Bronkaid is better for me, since I tried it for a while and had nice effects. Also,according to my scale I've only lost 4 lbs, yet I'm down a pant size..HUH??

@Jenn - That original Xenadrine was definitely the real deal, its too bad that it is no longer available because it was an add-in to the Patriot Act. It sounds like you are taking the Primatene alone, definitely stack them with the caffeine and aspirin for a better effect. By the way, how long ago did you take the Bronkaid? If you just finished the Bronkaid and went straight into the Primatene, your body might need a little time off because it could be accustomed to the ephedrine. How long have you been on Primatene and Bronkaid?
Your scale says 4lbs, but your pants say one size smaller? That sounds like a good problem to have! Then again when we start a new diet, we have a tendency to retain some water. The fat may be gone, but your body could be retaining water keeping your scale higher; eventually that will wear off and the scale will be more true. |

I took the Bronkaid for about 3 weeks, 1/3x day. Now I'm taking 2 Primatene 3x/day. Altogether it's been about 5-6 weeks. I agree, I may be retaining water because it is really hot out and I drink water like it's going out of style...
Thanks for the info.
Will keep you posted! |

I started on this stack in April 2010 weighing 184.4.
After a year+ of being on it (rarely taking breaks from it, I know, I know- not good), I lost 43.6 lbs, weighing 140.8 in May.
I recently took a month off from it and started back up today, 143.6 this morning so I didn’t gain too much :/
Anyways, I'm still trying to obtain my goal of 130 lbs and I'm hoping the month break from the stack will rejuvenate it's effects for the remaining 13.6 lbs.
I’m taking 2 daily doses of 2 Bronkaid, 1 NoDoz, and 1 baby aspirin. |

I've been taking the EC stack since April with nominal effects, but it has helped me sustain I suppose. What do you think about substituting the caffeine pill with an energy drink? I would think it delivers the same effect. I'd like to know what others opinions are... |

I've read thru the posts and think I'm going to try the ECA stack since I was a huge Xenadrine RFA fan.
I have one question though. I drink a good bit of coffee in the mornings. Should I skip the caffiene on the morning dose or just take less of it?
Thanks for the help |

@BLove
I would scrap the coffee for the time being to make sure you can handle the amount of caffeine. Or at least, if you don't mind the taste, switch to decaf and have your stack. That way you don't feel you have lost the effect. Once you know you are okay with it, I would gradually reintroduce coffee to your routine; that is if you just can't go without it. Too much caffeine can mean problems sleeping, jitters, irregular heartbeat, etc. Let's not forget you will get a stimulant effect from the stack as a whole, too. |

hi guys! long time no seek/talk/post.... i check in here every so often so see what people are saying and doing.
Kel - the claim i had about benadryl was made after several boards had people saying they took it on their off weeks... does it do anything?? im not sure... i never tried it.
I'm still in good shape, in fact a few lbs lost... i took a break from the stack as it gave me some anxiety (which is normal, but i got tired of the feeling and was where i wanted ot be so i stopped)... i found that primatene helped me better than bronkaid but to each their own. yea, if i ate more id gain a few lbs but once i went back to eating healthy i dropped them quick so ive actually been able to maintain quite well... for the last two weeks ive taken something called oxy elite pro, just for the sake of trying it as i was curious. from what i read it didnt compare to the stack, but a friend of mine tried it and i decided to as well....
well, it has given me great results, im not quite sure how, especially after taking the stack, but it contains ingredients that help push the thyroid gland to metabolize faster... there is caffeine in it but as far as i know no effect on the nervous system...
i will always be a supporter of the stack... but this supplement is a little welcome break from something so strong. |

The new EFX formula: I too will purchase and use every second day - to give my body a break from the Ephedrine that's found in the Orginal Xenadrine RFA-1....you see...
I have 2 bottles of the Orginal Xenadrine from 2000 - I only took a few back in 2000, found it incredibly strong, so I discontinued. The massive energy mixed with slight nausea was a bit too much for me - I only took 2 pills that first time, but the racing heart and extreme appetite suppression didn't seem 'right', quite frankly, it scared me. I was looking to loose 6-8 lbs and wondered if taking this pill was worth it for just a few lbs.
So I tucked the bottles away (can't remember why I didn't just throw them out?),anyway, I am so glad I didn't trash them...I have managed to pack on 38lbs onto my 5'8" frame in the last 6 years. I can't say I've tried everything - okay, I have tried nothing - I was surfing the web for diet pills when I stumbled onto this site, and I am so happy I did. The postings have been very helpful!
I take one cap of the Original Xenadrine RFA in the morning and that's all I need for the entire day - the energy and appetite suppression is amazing - and there is NO question about the efficacy of the product even so long after its supposed expiry date!
I am down 5 lbs in 7 days (probably water...too good to be true) - I would like to loose 1.5lbs a week, not more.
So if any of you have old bottles of the Orginal around don't trash them, you might want to try one to see how it still works. |

I like the Pure Ma Haung better but I have to order it which means using my debit card (Bank of America) which I still havent used since Bank of Americas new charge of 5$ a month just for using a debit card-thats insane so haven figured out yet. So im gonna use Bronkaid and No Doz cuz its the only thing I can buy in stores with cash that has a similar effect to the Pure Ma Haung. Keep ya all posted?

I still peruse here a few times a month. I've been back on the stack for a couple months now. At first just the ephedrine 8mg tablets and no doz for the first couple weeks. I then added in the aspirin and i forgot how much of a difference that made in the energy levels and hunger suppression. I drop a notch on my belt in the first month and i can still "see" weight being dropped but i havent gotten on a scale in months. Not even before i started back up on the program. I moved a couple months ago and havent even unpacked it yet. I really need to get back into exercising as that helped tons with weight loss. But i ve gotten lazy and my new place is 4 times as far away from work so i don't find nearly as much time to get things done any more. I really need a kick in the ass to get myself going. |

Make it 2 notches on the belt now! I dont even think i went down that far on my belt when i dropped 40 lbs the first time around. Of course i was also working out so i was putting on muscle not just dropping weight. I certainly looked better then. I really need to get myself on a scale. I went from 215ish down to 176 before. I'm sure i'm not down to that yet but 2 belt holes in 2 months certainly isn't bad for minimal exercise, AKA walking the dog, taking the stack twice a day, and eating better and less. |

Well i'm going to be stopping the stack as of today. 1st because i went past the weight i had wanted to get down to and 2nd because i'm all out of ephedrine as of my morning dose. I wanted to get down to 175 and i made it down to 171 in the couple months i've been taking the stack again. I'm sure i'll pick it back up at some point but i'll probably just go get some bronkaid again next time around. It's been a while since i order the ephedrine hcl and i'm not sure where i got it from how ever long ago that was. |

You could try the ephedrine hcl if you wanted. I can't recall where i got it but the site is listed in this thread somewhere. I don't what your dosage is so i don't want to say try upping that. That's really a call between you and your dr. Perhaps a different work out routine? I had good success with p90x. It'll kick your ass but you'll get in shape. |

Hello all. I recently started the eca stack 2 weeks ago. I am a 32yo female with about 30lbs to lose.
I used the original hydroxycut about 9-10yrs ago & had amazing results...lost 20-25lbs
& wasn't getting that much exercise, just the typical stuff that we all do day to day. Then when it was taken off the market :( I slowly gained it back. Then later started a low carb diet & my job @ the time was very physical...lost the 20 lbs again. Then...lol...got a new job as a banker. I new I'd gain the weight back. I did about 3 yrs later. Damn!!! So, I bought I treadmill & power walked my add off 30-45min sessions 4 x's a wk, calorie counted, the whole damn shabang for 6mo & nothing happened. Wtf!!! So after tons of research, eca seems like the next route for me. I have built my wag |

This so funny to me. I thought I was the only one out there who missed the original Xenadrine RFA-1 pills so much!! I love those pills, and was so mad that they took them off the market. I am really glad I ran across this forum, you guys are awesome. I have been trying to find that "special pill" but it just does not exist anymore like the orginal did. So I went to Wal-Mart today after reading through almost all of these responses (took up all of my work morning haha). I bought the Bronkaid for $5.98, the aspirin for $0.98, and I had to go to my local Pharmacy for caffeine pills (go figure!) $1.99 for the genereic no doz and $6.79 for Vivarin. Which is alot cheaper than anything out there right now! BTW-No Doz are no longer at WMT and I did not find anything that looked like a generic alternate to it. Which is why I went to my local pharm. Plus at Wal Mart they took my license and typed in all of my info for the Bronakid. So when I was at my local pharm, I asked for some Bronkaid, they didn't have any and ordered me some boxes, which will be there tomorrow for pick up. YAY! So altogether my total stack costs $8.95 using genereic caffeine pills or $13.75 with Vivarin. That is a steal! It beats the $50 doctor's visit and $23 Rx for Phenteramine I was on. BTW I lost 32 pounds in 9 months using it BUT it turned me into the Hulk- I was mean and cranky to my family, and I am a happy person. I was at 189 last Feb. and I got down to 157. I have been off of them for about 2.5 months and I weigh around 161-163. I am trying to get back down to 130 or 135. I am 5'3!!! So I will do this stack and hope that I will get the results from the orginal RFA-1. I love cleanses and fasts, so this stack will be exciting to see if it works. I do exercise, I usually try to power walk every other morning and I do my abs all the time, I love working my core. All the wight is in my arms and butt/thigh area. I am so glad I found this site.

@ V- Thanks for that website; hotnfit regarding the aspirin. I was at my pharmacy yesterday buying more Bronkaid =) and asked one of the pharm guys there about aspirin doses and he was very adament about not doing 3 pills a day of 250 mg of aspirin as I have done within the last 24 hours. Then I saw your post on aspirin and I am sooo going back to the pharm to get baby aspirin haha! Thank YOU so much!
Hotnfit says:
"The "effective dosage" at which aspirin was added to the EC stack was at 325 mg. 325 mg of aspirin 3 times a day puts you at risk for developing ulcers and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Again, if you would like to use it to decrease risks/chances of high blood pressure, stick to the 81mg aspirin". |

So I have been on the stack for 3 days. I did too much too soon yesterday after only 1 day on the stack-obviously my tolerance is not where I thought it was. I was very VERY nauseous last night and had to empty my stomach to get rid of the horrible feeling in my head and tummy and overall lethargic, doped up feeling I had going on. I tried three doses yesterday instead of two. I will be only doing two doses per day for a few more days. But on Monday I weighed 166 and this morning I weigh 151! Now I know it has alot to do with last night but still, that is amazing results. I can't wait to have my pre-2 kids weight back (circa 2004)!
I was also looking up online the ingredients, ALL of the ingredients, in the original RFA-1 and I came across this article on livestrong.com (see below). SO I was thinking if I could find something with all of that stuff in it and supplement the Bronk and aspirin with it then I would have the original RFA-1. I ordered "Alpha Hoodia" (from Amazon) which has everything in it that the original had minus the ehpedra of course and I will let you all know if it works as well as this ECA stack or if I wasted $25 on the herbs. =) Because Bitter Orange was a key herb in the original formula as well, that is why I was thinking of all of this. Where the ECA stack is awesome, it is missing Bitter Orange.
I will do this formula: 1 Bronkaid, 1 Alpha Hoodia, 1 low dose aspirin 2x a day and see what happens. If nothing then I will go back to 1 Bronkaid, 1 caffeine pill, 1 low dose aspirin 2x a day.
I should get them tomorrow (Saturday).
"Herbs"
"Xenadrine contains 85 mg of bitter orange, an herb used for weight loss and appetite suppression. Xenadrine also contains 910 mg of guarana extract, which is a natural source of caffeine and thus serves as an appetite suppressant. It is unclear why Xenadrine contains 105 mg of white willow bark, as white willow bark does not have any known weight-loss properties and is usually used to treat pain or flu symptoms. Xenadrine contains 50 mg of ginger root, which is normally used to treat nausea and other gastrointestinal problems. Xenadrine also contains 225 mg of a proprietary thermo synergist blend, which may have appetite-suppressant or metabolism-increasing properties".

Wish I could say the same, Kelli. For some reason it doesn't seem like the stack is working for me this time. I completely feel the effects and I'm taking 3 doses a day (9:00, 12:00, 3:00), but I've lost MAYBE 3-5lbs since I started again. It's been a little over a month and I have no clue why the results are so slow this time. It's a little disheartening honestly. Like I said, I can feel it in my system. My appetite is completely eliminated and I have loads of energy, but the weight doesn't seem to be going anywhere (at least not nearly as fast as before). I'll stick with it for one more month. If I don't see any definitive weight loss by June 3rd, I'm going to stop the stack. |

@ Brad; Yeah, I have slowed down too. But I am only doing it twice a day. I am stuck @ 11 pounds. I keep going up and down. Maybe it is because I am woman but I do have more energy. Just no added weight loss. I am going to to try 3x a day and see what that does. I take a water pill some days versus the caffeine pill in my morning dose and that seems to jump start the weight loss. Have you tried Bitter orange? It was also in the original xenadrine.
@ Bob-I like the generic aspirin-it only has 250 mg of aspirin in it. Have you lost wieght as well? |

Hi everyone,
I feel like I know some of you regulars already. I started reading this message board starting with page one (answered alot of my questions along the way)and was glad to see its still active once I made it to the last page. I found out about this ECA stack on Sunday 5/6/12 after spending most of the weekend researching (mostly out of disbelief that there really was a way to recreate the orginal effects of ephedrine). Bright and early monday morning I hauled over to CVS bought the following:
-Bronkaid (2 boxes)- the "E"
-CVS brand Caffeine Tablets (200MG EA) - the "C"

Decided to be a bit more brave tuesday cause I wasn't jittery or wired like I wanted to be, so I went to a full "C" at each dosing and added a second bronkaid to my noon dose. FINALLY!!!!!!!! The euphoric warmth of ephedrine kicked in! How I missed it's sweet embrace! Spent some time researching today and came across this "board" which has by far been the most informational and helpful one on the internet (I had already found all the links referred to on earlier pages) and still found this one to be the best, personal and real information.
Sooo, now that my Intro is over, It is Wednesday 5/9/12 and I have had 3 days of the stack I am down 8 lbs (hopefully not just water cause of the amount of water I'm consuming). Next my personal stats/history weight issues:
I am a 24 year old female from California, 5'10" and started Monday 5/6/12 at 325lbs(I guess I can tell yall cause I don't know any of you lol and you guys seem very suportive lol).
2003 I was at 185/190 which was a size 11/13 pants for me. Now at 325lb I'm in a size 22 and miserable. ALOT of Crap happened over the last 9 years, I was binge closet eating, didn't care, weight pilled on like crazy and I hit 337 at my worst and broke down. I've tried every "magic" pill I could find, atkins, weight watchers, I've had personal trainers on/off for 3 years, did HCG+500cal diet which was the only other thing that kinda worked (got down to 270 mid 2011) but come on 500 cal/day I felt like sh*t and had no energy whatsoever(then more crap happened and I bounced back up).., the lemonade/cayanne/syrup thing, seriously everything. from February 2012- this past sunday 5/6/12 I've been personal training 3x's a week and eating healthy and only dropped from 337 to 325 (12 lbs in 3.5 months aint working for me) So I'm SUPER happy about the 8lbs in 3 days. My goal is to get to 190 then see what I look like (my frame is tall and kinda stalky even when I was at 190, I looked more like 170 for my frame).
Back to the stacking info. I eat a banana for breakfast with or without granola depending on my hunger(i've never been a breakfast person), lunches have been Tuna sandwich or Sushi or grilled chicken and vegetables etc, dinners I usually have fruit (canned pears, apple, etc) or chicken/veg. or a progresso light soup. Pretty sure my calories are around 1000 or less per day but I'm not starving or staring at the fridge with desire. Also drinking water like a fish all day non stop. Dropped sodas cold turkey and its not bothering me yet-knock on wood, not driving through anywhere other than el pollo loco for skinless chicken breast and mixed veggies when in a hurry. The first two days I hardly pooped lol (anyone else have this?), but I've been peeing like a race horse since monday lol and finally had a normal poo (perfect according to Dr. Oz's poo chart)SOOooo... to finish up my now novel, I have a few questions and gladly accept any questions or suggestions you guys have for me!
Questions:
1. For those of you that have lost all your weight and gained some back or fell off the wagon at some point, what happened when you came off? Did you revert back to old habbits or did your body just not work properly? I know Brad weened himself (This was my plan later down the road but longer than a 10 day ween).
2. Cycling vs. straight through til goal weight? I've seen people doing both, but haven't seen the results of cycling?
I'll be a regular and keep you guys updated on where I'm at, would love to hear your guys starting weights/dates, todays weights, any tidbits that helped or burdened you along the way.
Gonna stop typing for real now :)

Hi Christina! I am new to the stack too and it is amazing if you use it everyday. I got off of it for 2 weeks and I gained 5 pounds! So now I am back on it. I use it 2x a day. Some people do it more, but I have to build up to that, otherwise I get sick. I also noticed the constipation issue the first week. There is a drink called magnesium citrate you can get, it is like 99 cents and get it in the cherry flavor (the others are nasty) that will help with blockage. Drink half the bottle one night then the other half within 24 hours and you will feel better. I hope this helps you!
@ Bob-I ran out of aspirin so I stopped taking it, I kept forgetting to get the aspirin and I gained 5 pounds! Just in 2 weeks! But once I started to take it, OMG my energy level sky rocketed and I had very lite meals. It was awesome. |
