    Just get regular Benadryl allergy, dont get the liquid or the cream, because you need the outter coating on the tabs/caps. THey usually come in 25 or 50mg concentration. You should be using between 50-100mg ED at night every third week for the entire week. I will post a pic so you know what it looks like.

    Theoretically clears receptors. It should work like ketotefin(sp?) but my advice is to cycle as the sides of high dose clen , which is only prescribed at 20mcg, start to show themselves in 3 weeks by my experience... not good for the ticker as well from reading some others complain or suggest against clen.

    The Benadryl "trick" doesn't do shit from what I gather from close associates who have tried it. I tried it about a year ago myself and it was whack. It's not ketotifen and is not effective like that is.

    Better off cycling w/an ECA for the best results and to avoid issues as Meso stated above.

    It's hooker;s theory. Him, Nandi, and BigCat all say it can make clen more effective

    I too have tried Benadryl and it didnt seem to do much for me but the reasoning makes sense. Probably didnt do much for me b/c I dont use Clen for more then 4-6 weeks or so in total.

    IMO Ketotifen is better then benadryl but benadryl will suffice. If comparing the 2 as far as availability and price benadryl would be the better option. If looking at effectivenss then Keto takes the cake. Either way both will upregulate beta 2 receptors doing exaclty what you are trying to do when on Clen.

    As already stated above I wouldnt use Clen for too long anyway due to some of the stidues I've seen. I would post them but by the time I find them it will be dark out.

    first, in response to the above quote, alternating it with an eca stack won't help to clear the receptors cause the same receptors are being hit by the ephedra. read some other clen threads and you'll find more on this. both clen and ephedra need to be avoided to refresh those receptors.

    as far as using "bendaryl", save yourself some $ and just get a generic brand sleep-aid or allergy med that has diphenhydramine hcl in it. that's all you're looking for, just for some reason, everyone suggests benadryl. all you need is 50-100mg per night of the diphen every 3 weeks for 5-7 days. you can get the generic kind for less than 1/2 the cost of benadryl.

    as far as if the diphen actually works, i personally don't know cause i have yet to try it. i will be trying next week though, so we'll see. from all the mixed responses on the matter in all the threads i've read on it, seems to work for some and not for others. gotta try and see for yourself.

    Strange because alternating always worked great for me, and that's actually what most currently do.

    Oh well, like you said, do what works for you.

    Yes this is very true!! One to a greater extent then the other but you completely have the gist of it, good job.

    As SC just stated, do what works for you and it seems he has down what works for him. I have tried every day possible way of taknig Clen and 2 days on 1 day off works best for me. I never ever list it b/c thats not part of the norm, neither dose it have logic behind it. BUT it's what works for me. In saying that you'll never really see me recommending it b/c I dont have reasoning behind it on why it works. But just like SC stated this is what works for me........

    i give you a lot of credit jayhova. it's rare to see someone monitor their cycles so close as to get it down like you seem to have it. good stuff.

    like these last few posts have stated, this stuff affects everyone differently and needs to be treated very individually. for example, the typical sides of clen are an increased rhr, bp, and elevated body temp. well, at 100mcg, my rhr has only gone up about 5bpm, my bp is still normal, and my body temp only goes up for the first few hours after i take my dose. but, i'm burning the fat off better than i ever did on an eca stack, so it's obviously working.

    the best bet to find what works for you is monitor your weight, bf%, and keep track of when you did what during a cycle and see what worked and what didn't. remember though, just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it won't for someone else.

    This seems to be the final ticket buddy, that's why trial and error is crucial. I have tried so many different ways of cycling just about everything out there. Til this day I'm still learning with I"m sure quite a ways to go.................
