Can Pseudoephedrine Replace Ephedrine?

0

Q: I can only find pseudoephedrine where I live. I was wondering if I could take this in place of ephedrine in the ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirin stack. What dosage should I use? A: Been there, done that. When I was in federal prison, we couldn’t get ephedrine in the commissary, but pseudoephedrine and aspirin were available in the clinic. And we’d make our mock espresso by dissolving instant coffee until it was almost a syrup. We all got a slight buzz with the pseudoephedrine, aspirin, and instant coffee stack. And we tried a lot of Sudafed tabs, sometimes ten at a time. None of us felt any temperature elevation. After a few times, we all stopped everything except the coffee. Pseudoephedrine doesn’t have similar effects to ephedrine. So if all you have is pseudoephedrine, don’t bother.
