ECA stack questions

In the old days, we'd do this with a Primatene and two Excedrin.
Problem with the ECA stack is, prolonged use can lead -- I'd say "does lead" -- to mitral valve prolapse, a serious, permanent heart problem. Saw this in two guys I knew personally back when I was a full-time gym rat. Cycle it. Cycle it, cycle it, CYCLE IT. And work your ass off while you're cycling: get to your target weight fast and get the hell off it and never touch it again.

I cycled for 3 weeks on, 3 weeks off, for about six months. Recommendations vary, but one of the guys I knew who developed heart problems was doing 6-week cycles. If you have good medical insurance, it wouldn't hurt to tell a doctor what you're doing and get an ultrasound of your heart before and maybe at the 3-month mark if you're doing a 6-month cycle.
