I'd like to add the following excerpt from
http://www.t-mag.com/nation_articles/body_229smart.html:
According to the DAWN (Drug Abuse Warning Network) Detailed Emergency Department Tables of 2000, ephedrine seems to be very safe when compared to other drugs. These numbers reflect the number of mentions each drug received in regard to emergency room visits. Here's a quick list:
Drug Name - Number of Mentions
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) - 33,613
Alcohol-in-combination - 204,524
Ibuprofen (Advil) - 17,923
Aspirin - 15,657
Fluoxetine (Prozac) - 7,938
OTC sleep aids-Sominex/Nytol - 6,609
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) - 6,270
Naproxen (Aleve) - 5,080
Caffeine - 1,674
Chlorpheniramine/aspirin - 1,116
Pseudoephedrine - 948 (A decongestant used in every cold/sinus formula around)
Ephedrine - 1,057
Straight off that site pretty interesting!
