I've never even heard of ECA pills, just had to look them up. So they really work?

Yes, of course they work. They are stimulants. Cocaine, adderall and meth also work as an effective weight loss drugs, in case you were wondering.

Side effects?

Less than the aforementioned cocaine on a side-effect/desired-effect basis. Basically expect the side effects to be "kind of like just having lots of coffee all the time but stronger".
