Ephedrine and tianeptine experience. (Be careful combining these two!)

I've been taking Tianeptine for almost 6 months consistently now, from sodium to sulphate. My dosage ranges from 12.5 mg t.i.d. to 20 mg t.i.d to 40 mg q1d depending on which version I'm taking. Just a few days ago I decided to start taking this thing called the ECA stack (ephedrine/caffeine/aspirin) to hopefully help burn a bit of fat and lose weight. The dosages have been 25 mg of ephedrine, 200 mg of caffeine, and 150 mg of aspirin. A few hours after taking all of this plus tianeptine, I experienced an insane analgesic effect. My sensation of touch was so numb I could barely feel my face with my hand. I remember thinking to my self that this must be what a heavy dose of morphine or other opioid must feel like. At first I thought it was the aspirin potentiating the opioid affinity property of tianeptine but couldn't find any literature supporting this theory. Then I researched ephedrine+opioids and found it.

Morphine-ephedrine interaction on analgesia was studied in mice (n = 240) and in post-operative patients (n = 32). It was found that combining morphine and ephedrine enhances analgesia which is not significantly different from the…

I've never used aspirin either. I'm not sure what it's for.
I also use taurine throughout the day as a weightlifting supplement, as it improves glycogen uptake and aids recovery. I've found with EC it helps prevent any anxiety or erratic thoughts and explosive anger I had in the past on EC. I had stopped taking it for a while because of that.

Aspirin is used in an ECA stack to thin the blood, along with inhibiting prostaglandin production. The latter effect, when combined with caffeine, prolongs the thermogenic properties of the stack. I opt for trying to mitigate the vascoconstriction with other methods, and leave the Aspirin out.
