I'm using the ephedra and paxil together and there is no problem for me. I even called the ephedra company to make sure. The ephedra still works well for me!

What Ephedra product are you using?

Becka, I would recommend calling a pharmacist in your area. Pharmacists will know about drug interactions better than anyone. I would not take it until you are absolutely sure. I hope you are able to..best of luck Smile

God this makes me soooo crazy to listen to you all!! I took Stacker 2's for about 2 years...i went from a normal healthy weight of 135 at 5'6" and dropped to 92 pounds. Needless to say, all the time spent popping these pills seriously effected my heart and other organs! I wound up in heart failure and was moments from a massive heart attack!!! Now its all a catch 22, because in order to repair your heart, you need to stop cold turkey...which effects your nerological system as well...and you WILL gain back all of the weight you shed. Tell me..is this all worth it? To awnser your question quite honestly...get off the diet pills and your anxiety will disappear as well! Go to the gym! Eat healthy! I'm working out 4-5 times a week, intense cardio programs and am able to maintain my weight...eat with in reason...and my heart is healthy as ever! DONT BE SO STUPID!!!!!!!

I think what doctor prescribe to you should follow. If you takes medicine on your own & also takes doctor's medicine together may some side effect.

HI all. I took some pills my son left behind..called therma lean.. they have ephedrine in them.. I took three the first day then took less after..felt good for few days and appetite went down and energy up...then I slowed down as felt hyper then went off and was feeling exhausted.. then took a small amount and then anxiety and fight and flight.. went to health store..her in CAnada..my sypmtoms were classic.. some people can handle ephedra..Maug haung on the botttle name.. not me.. I am coming down and feel like a train wreck..that was all in the matter of a few weeks... I can see why they are banned here... if you tend to have a sensitive body chemistry please be careful.. i started on a very mild antidepressant 4 years ago and have not felt like this for years.. trying to rest and take tyrosine to come down with.. I think it will take some time to feel like my old self.... just for those who did a silly thing without conusulting their doctor like me.

I bit my nails, which is totally not normal for me! I also had nightmares off and on at night and had trouble getting to sleep after a day at work. This was only taking ONE pill at noon. It took me two months of having a glass of wine with dinner to be able to sleep well, I also stopped drinking coffee in the a.m. and switched to green tea, drank lots of ice water with True Orange in it for flavor.
Also, to relax, I drank Celestial Seasoning's Sleeptime Tea.
