ECA Stack: Ephedrine, Caffeine and Aspirin

Q: I've tried several diet medications over the years and nothing seems to work that well to suppress my appetite. By accident I've discovered that pseudoephedrine works really well for a while to suppress my appetite. Then my system builds up tolerance for it. Is there a way to slow down or suppress the tolerance? Or what other medications would you suggest trying for this effect?

A: To avoid increasing the ephedrine dose (if the recommended 20 mg do not work), dieters might want to consider adding the supplement amino acid L-tyrosine. The synergistic relationship of L- tyrosine with ephedrine has been researched in rats ( 6) and it is a textbook fact that L-tyrosine helps in the thyroid hormones production.
