Ephedrine and the prostate

Big Dave · 08-05-2002, 05:16 PM

Why does ephedrine give my prostate so much trouble? Does saw palmetto have any benefits in this regard?

No it doesn't. You can switch to NYC and that is "better" but some people get symptoms with that as well. Decaman does but from what he tells me it's not that bad on NYC.

Taking something for the prostate will help, so that would be a good idea. What symptoms are you getting?

I am getting some restriction of urine flow, it's pretty bearable, just worrisome. I use NYC in the morning before I run, but if I use it all day at work I get too jittery from the caffiene.

It's very common for ephedrine to stimulate the tissues of the urethra and prostate. Don't let it worry you, just relax and be prepared for the "drip" as it is known. This is the norm when using Ephedrine. It just means you have to do more dancing and shaking than you are accustomed to.

But is that a permanent effect, or does the prostate return to normal size when you are off?

Happens to me whenever I go on ECA, it returns to normal when you cycle off. You also may notice some ED while on also (these also go away when off).

No, it's not permanent, once you get off the ephedrine, urination should become smooth and easy.
