I've been taking ECA stack now for a week and have noticed that when I take it my whole body feels sensitive, kind of a bruised feeling all over. It's sometimes tender to touch around my torso, arms and sometimes even my legs. I also have had a slight increase in body temperature avg around 99.5.

I am currently only taking 12.5 mg of E, 100 mg. of C and 81 mg of A twice a day. I am 127 lbs, about 5'5 and just trying to lose that last few lbs/inches to gain a little more lean muscle mass. My husband and I eat fairly clean, lots of whey protein shakes and vegetables and I workout about 5-6 times a week with weights/cardio.

Has anyone else had these effects when taking the ECA stack? I can't find anything online that gives me information about it. I am well informed of how it works and it's benefits but haven't found anyone else with this issue.
 
Well, anything that contains ephedrine (that's what the "E" stands for) is going to be bad for you. Ephedrine, being the main component of most weight loss drugs, is rather dangerous to use. It causes numerous cardiovascular conditions such as high blood pressure, screws with your heart rate, and constricts your blood vessels, all of which can very likely be contributing to this pain.

Also, taking aspirin (the "A") in conjunction with your workout messes with your muscle repair. Avoid it.

If you're trying to lose weight, you can do it without drugs. Proper diet and exercise will help you lose weight in the longer term, be safer, and won't lead to cardiovascular failure.
 
OP, an ECA stack is not necessary unless you are already sub 10% bf and looking to compete. Why induce the side effects for a minimal increase in fat burning you can replicate with changes to diet and exercise.
