I just took 4 ephedra supercaps with 833mg dried ephedra each, containing a
total of 267 milligrams (about .009 ounce) ephedrine. I'm feeling pretty
exhausted at the moment, since the previous night was "queens night", which
means I've been reveling in the streets all night long and have gotten only
a few hours' sleep. I also drank a couple of beers earlier this afternoon,
which can negatively affect the ephedra experience. I'm drinking a cup of
coffee at the moment, because the caffeine in coffee intensifies the effects
of ephedra.
19:39
I feel a pleasant tingling, "gooseflesh" sensation over my scalp, and I feel
slightly restless. Furthermore, I don't feel like sitting behind my computer
and typing anymore, so I pace restlessly around a bit in my room. But at the
moment I feel great, and I'm no longer tired at all. I decide to put on some
relaxing music (Enya) and clean up the mess in my room.
20:05
The tingling sensation is starting to become pretty strong now, I notice
that I can make the sensation even more intense if I concentrate on them.
The typing is getting a bit more difficult because of my trembling, sweaty
hands. My tiredness has completely disappeared, one hour ago I almost fell
asleep, now I feel very active and I would like to go and do something.
Futhermore I feel a bit detached, as though someone else is typing this.
20:40
The phone rings, but I cannot concentrate very well on the conversation, and
what the caller wants to say simply doesn't get through to me. When I hear
myself talking, it sounds as if I am talking unusually slowly. I still feel
wonderful, only a bit nervous and sweaty. I am still restless. if I were at
a party, I would probably want to dance.
21:05
I am bursting with energy, but I cannot find any activity to put that energy
into. So I bounce between newspaper, radio, tv and computer - and also
between teakettle and toilet, because this stuff make you thirsty.
21:34
I still have the tingling, but I am more relaxed now, enough that I can sit
quietly and watch television.
21:56
I still feel a bit nervous, and it's hard to concentrate on the typing: I
can think much faster than I can type. I also have problems concentrating on
TV, I can follow the stand-up comedians, but with the news I become easily
distracted.
22:15
The ephedra has been working for two-and-a-half hours now, the effect is
still very pronounced and has not abated appreciably. Although the tingling
sensation is tapering off a bit. Another effect of ephedra is that it makes
you more sociable, assertive, and kinder. I just spoke to a housemate, and
it felt as if I had a strong bond with him (in fact I hardly know the guy).
If I were to meet someone who didn't know me, he/she would probably find me
friendly but a bit confused. Confused because its hard for me to concentrate
on anything for longer than a second.
23:07
I still feel good, and not as nervous as before. I sit quietly watching the
TV, a documentary about war victims and refugee camps that affects me much
more strongly than it normally would. I find that I feel much more
empathetic.
23:18
Now and then the tingling returns. I think I must have drunk two litres
(half a gallon) of tea. This ephedra makes you thirsty, and now I think its
time to have a nice, cold beer.
Saturday 00:17
Still wide awake, it appears that I won't be getting sleepy anytime soon,
although it has been almost 5 hours since I took the ephedra.
02:43
I'm back to normal now, although I still feel some light tingling in my
scalp. I remain wide awake, but my body is beginning to feel tired. The
'side-effects' - the sweating, trembling, and detachment that I experienced
earlier are gone now.
04:04
Still no signs of sleep, this suprises me a bit, since I took the caps 8
hours ago! All other effects are gone now.
05:38
I'm still awake. The ephedra is working much longer than I anticipated,
about 10 hours now, but I think I should be able to get to sleep in an hour
or so. Moreover, my appetite is beginning to return, which is not so strange
since I've only eaten only a few slices of toast in the last 10 hours. My
body feels exhausted at the moment.
+/- 6:15
I finally fell asleep, with no problems.
12:00
The awakening. It has been a somewhat restless night, I awoke a couple of
times for 15 minutes or so, and then fell back asleep again. I also have the
impression I slept very lightly. Although I slept for only five hours, I
feel wide-awake.
