Ephedrine - A Dangerous Drug?: Don't make my mistake!!!!!

» regretful4ever - Don't make my mistake!!!!!

I consider myself lucky to be alive, and lucky I wasn't mentally retarded after overdosing on "yellowjackets", a diet pill whose main ingredient is ephedrine. After taking the the pill, I was 16 yrs old at the time and at my school's homecoming dance, I felt almost nothing until about 3 hours later after riding around in my friend's car for a while. All of sudden I started to feel tired... and just wanted to lay down. When i got back to my friend's and layed down on the floor, I tried my best to sleep. This definitely wasn't going to happen. I started to feel really nauseous,extremely agitated, and wanted to vomit to get whatever was in me out. I remember getting up and going to my friends bathroom in a cold sweat(I looked and felt ghostly ill in his mirror) and tried to force my self to vomit, nothing came out so i atleast took a couple hand fulls of water then laid back down. For the next 8 HOURS I laid there on the floor, wide awake, rubbing my leg with my foot because i was so wired. It kinda felt like my brain was slowly being fried, and i was having phsycotic thoughts over and over again and just basically going insane, tweaking out and doing compulsive behavior for about 8 hours straight. It's very hard to explain. It felt like I was going to die, or atleast have permanent brain damage.

Even until now i blame that experience for altering my brain, making it hard for me to concentrate in school, affecting my grades. For months after, I felt like a recoverying meth addict and even had trouble sitting still.
I'm still consulting my doctor to see if there could be any long term affects. The pill I took looked like it was atleast 4 or 5 yellow jackets crushed up then put into a larger pill capsule. It's almost impossible to tell how many mg's of ephedrine was there since i wasn't the one who made it. If the person who made this pill had any respect for human life especially those other than his own, he would have never of sold this shit to anybody, now i wish i could offer him the same pill and see how good he feels 3 hours later.
In closing, ephedrine based pills are probably ok if you do the recomendeded dosage, but never take too much (or get tricked into taking to much) unless you want to feel like i did.
