If you took them all at once then yes you are a colosal idiot.
If you took them spread out over the course of the day you are pressing you luck but should be okay if you don't make a habit of this.

yes spread out, feelin fine.

how come most people recommend a max of 75mg a day?

75 mg a day for a 110 lb girl and 75 mg a day for a 220 lb guy?

Because ephedra is a stimulant. Even though most can handle taking ephedra/ephedrine, it is placing stress on your heart. So, taking more than the recommended dosage isn't always a good idea, though your individual experiences may vary.

I would probably be dead. If I take one in the morning and one after lunch usually my hands are shaking by 3pm and I can't sleep.

I usually stick with one at breakfast, period.

One or two of any stimulant in the morning is enough to make me not be able to sleep.

I wish the stuff worked for me.

I get almost no noticeable effect from the cocktail now.

How long have you been off it? you're supposed to cycle off ephedra products every 12 weeks.

and yes, they will lose their effectiveness. it's a stimulant.

if snorting a little line of cocaine always got people off the same, why do people get addicted to large amounts?

answer: the body will attempt to adapt to just about anything. gotta stop taking ECA stack and let yourself get baseline again.
