    I was thinking the same thing hellmask.... it sounded like he thought it was a steroid.... but i guess thats possible to believe considering many sites place ephedrine under the steroid profiles

    But no... no hair loss

    I've heard from many bros that are prone to hairloss that it has an indirect effect in accelerating hairloss..thats why I asked. I am trying to find out the reason why I am shedding after i stopped shedding for a year on propecia

    Well it's not impossible - AAS aren't the only drugs that can cause / accellerate hairloss - there are plenty of others.
    I've heard of hairloss being associated with amphetamine abuse, and ephedrine is extremely close ( structurally & functionally ) to amphetamine so it doesn't sound at all imposssible to me.

    These drugs commonly cause temporary hair thinning or complete hair loss.

    Amsacrine (m-AMSA)
    Cyclophosphamide (Endoxana)
    Chlormethine or mustine
    Dactinomycin (Actinomycin D)
    Daunorubicin
    Docetaxel (Taxotere)
    Doxorubicin (Adriamycin)
    Epirubicin (Pharmarubicin)
    Etoposide or VP16 (Etopophos, Vepesid)
    Idarubicin (Zavedos)
    Ifosfamide (Mitoxana)
    Irinotecan (Campto)
    Mitozantrone or mitoxantrone
    Mustine or Chlormethine
    Paclitaxel (Taxol)
    Topotecan (Hycamtin)
    Vinblastine (Velbe)
    Vincristine (Oncovin)
    Vindesine (Eldisine)

    this obviously isn't a comlete list, but it illustrates that it's not just AAS that can turn you into a slaphead
