since the ban has been lifted on ephedra has anyone started taking it? I recently purchased Hydroxy-stac from bingproducts and have been taking it for a week and love the kick I get from it. I am hoping to get the last few pounds off once and for all. My diet is clean and I exercise, but these last few pounds are so stubborn.

I would never touch ephedra personally. But I've grown up having had heart surgery at age 4 and am very aware of what is good for your heart and what is not. Substances like ephedra are on the "not" list.

The last few pounds are always stuborn - but they can be lost.

Personal opinion only.

I use to take Ephedra and I didn't like how it made me so edgy! Sure it was great for losing wieght but it gave me the shakes and it kept me up all night. I didn't realize the ban was lifted....in Canada??? I was going bring some over here to South Korea but was too nervous that I'd get in trouble at the border.
My only word of advice would be that you should be careful, obviously. The major downfall I experienced with it was when I tried to stop "cold turkey" I felt my energy level just was shot! It was impossible for me to wake up and my mood totally changed, I didn't like it. I've been off it for awhile but please be careful. Don't take the recommended amount, it's too much. One pill is plenty.

I don't think the ban has been lifted in Canada yet.
