Coming this summer, I have to do a dance performance in front of a few hundred people. It is mandatory, so there is no getting out. The problem is I get super anxious to even perform in front of 20-30 people. This dance requires a lot of energy and is very tiring. I am thinking of combining a beta blocker with ephedrine when I perform. Will the beta blocker make me slower or perform worse? Also, will it inhibit the stimulant properties of ephedrine? Would you recommend taking one or the other or both? Thank you.

Would this dance be taking place at the Special Olympics?Originally Posted by hotstreek704
I ask due to the notion that using a beta blocker with ephedrine would be a good idea.
Nonetheless, go back to the drawing board with that one.~

As i barely know the betas are to inhibit the stress of a situations (fight or flight maybe?)
Stimulants increase the fight or flight with hopes of using it to an advantage, like increased lifting.
I wouldnt mix the two.🎄⛄🎄In🎄⛄🎄

The only substance I've ever taken besides caffeine is ephedrine (as little as possible) for focus and staying awake, which was why I asked that question. I'm not abusing anything; please just answer the original question if you have any input.Originally Posted by NO HYPE

lol combining two drugs with polar opposite effects at the same time, sounds like a good idea.

Ok.... I'll just assume you were asking about cross-tolerance to amphetamine-related drugs for the fun of it.Originally Posted by hotstreek704
