Ok I am taking Tricuts III http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/sf/trief.html (sorry about the other site link but BN doesnt offer Sci Fit products). It says not to take products with ephedrine while taking this. I want to stack it with Vasopro. Tricuts doesnt have ephedrine in it persay but it does have Yohimbe and Guarana. Are either of those ephedrine based. It containes 125 mg of Yohimbe bark extract? Should i oberve the warning on the Tricuts bottle about not taking ephedrine? Will the 25mg of ephedrine in Vasopro with this product possible do me harm? Thanks in advance.

Yohimbe can have interactions with ephedrine. Yohimbe is an MAOI. MAOI's shouldnt be taken with ephedrine. But people have used both safely. (ECY stack). Stick to a low dose though. Both increase blood pressure and raise heart rate. Be careful.

So what is a low dose of Ephedrine and Yohimbine? The Vasopro has 25 mg of Ephedrine HCl and the Tricuts has 10mg of Yohimine. I read article here http://www.1fast400.com/?ingredients_id=11 on yohimbine. I guess Im looking for someone who has taken these products together or a Yohimine/ephedrine combo.

Did you see this part of the article?

"A possible synergism between yohimbine and ephedrine hasn't been thoroughly explored, and the information that exists is somewhat contradictory. In theory, they should work well together as yohimbine blocks one of the negative feedback mechanisms that would normally make ephedrine less effective. Cell culture studies confirm that yohimbine increases the lipolytic effects of beta(3) agonists (19). However, a study using rats indicated that yohimbine blocked the effects of the same beta(3) agonist, indicating that the two may antagonize each other (19). Additionally, a study on cardiovascular variables found that ephedrine and caffeine together were safe, but the addition of yohimbine may produce undesirable effects (20). So it is still unknown whether the combination of yohimbine and ephedrine produces any additional benefit, and whether it is justified by the potential dangers. "

By the way, if you want quick answers go to the bb.com forum. In the supplement section there is a whole 5 page thread on the ECY stack. You might need to sift through the first 6 or so pages of the supplement section to find the thread, as bb.com forum is very popular and threads get set back pretty far.
