Switched to ECA stack. Two days in never hungry and down 2.

Hi all!
 From 1999 – 2001 I lost roughly 250 pounds taking a supplement called AM300. In addition to other herbal support is contained an herbal ECA stack. Seeing as no similar product containing an ECA stack worked for me (like Metabo-life) I have decided to recreate the same supplement as the AM300. I have listed the ingredients below if some of you wanted to try the entire mix – or just for reference regarding an herbal ECA. I’ll will keep you posted once I get the stuff here and start ironing this out. 
 
The three elements of the ECA stack are in bold.
 
This is all per 1 pill. Dosage is 1 pill per 100 lbs. of body weight per day. The weight of some of the herbal support elements is unknown. As such I will likely be taking 1/3 of the daily recommended per pill.

Great information on ECA stacks can be found at bodybuilding.com - You can use willow bark instead of aspirin too - I find it more effective. Also, as with any stack to get the best result out of it - cycle it - meaning use it on for 3 weeks and off for 1 week per month.

I finally tried the ECA stack. Didn't give me the jitters too much but for me anyway it is not as powerful as phen. For me I think it would be a good thing to use as far as weight maintenance after attaining goal weight from the use of phen. I don't think the ECA stack would be strong enough to curve my appetite for the entire day, just some of the day.

Both - it's a stimulant, and stimulants are used for their appetite-suppressing qualities. If you're used to other stims (like caffeine and Phentermine), though, than you might not notice much appetite suppression.

@ sandee,  yes, take 2 Primatene each time.....

Maybe it didn't do much for me because I have asthma and am already use to medications similar to Primatene, but the Primatene is a big source of the jitters.

Couldn't find primatine so used generic allergy pills ""Wal-Phed" with 60 mg pseudoephedrine.  Will this work instead? Is "pseudoephdrine" the same as what's in primatine, etc? I had to get these by signing my name; they are behind the counter and considered a controlled substance here (Midwest, USA).
