It's not a successful session unless 'post-sex burn that happens sometimes' with the strengths of a thousand angry suns.

It might also be the fact that I wear skinny jeans on occasion (don't judge) that cause pinched nerves in my thigh area.

Or herpes

Hey, less competition.

Alright, you seem to be describing a post-workout-esque burn from using dem muscles, and not a strange rash on your legs burn as i thought you originally meant. lolwut retracted

Haha a rash? No, but I think that's the second stage of syphilis. So If anyone here develops a rash in the groin area, go get yourself checked.

The stuff works for me for a a couple hours and from my experience, if you take another one right afterwards, it should keep you going! It gives you a different type of energy than coffee though so I would personally recommend taking half of it at a time whenever you feel yourself losing energy and kinda go easy on it at first.

As a side note, I drank 5 hour energy whenever I studied for the MCAT (and during the MCAT itself) and now whenever I drink it, it literally tastes like MCAT. Needless to say I can't drink it any more...

Ahhh, so that's what MCAT tastes like....

They work for a while, but after it wears off I definitely get sleepy. I drink them at like 4-5pm. That way when The crash hits (it takes me like 6hrs), I am ready to crawl into bed. Win-Win.

Not worth $3.50 though. Way overpriced for caffeine and some vitamins.

Just take a placeb-...I mean this super awake pill! Works by deactivating your brain's napping centers and stimulating your awakogens!

Where can I get this wonder drug?

I don't get the big deal about these energy drinks...why not just set up a routine to sleep from 9-6, 10-7, 10-6, or whatever works for your body?

Because someone decided it would be a good idea to schedule 18 credits of classes for 3 days a week and have the other 4 to do whatever. I feel like such an idiot for it doing it this way...

Make sure you don't take it on an empty stomach, I did once, not good... Its like taking a vitamin on an empty stomach

vitamins are taken with food to help with absorption, not to reduce any feelings of discomfort.

Agreed.

The first time I had one of these, I drank a half bottle and was WIRED. The second time was last week during the last day of exams, when I drank a whole bottle in two gulps. Nothing. I mean I was awake, but no buzz. Damn you caffeine desensitization.

 

[darlin]

Not sure about the stacking, but I doubt they do. What I usually do is take half of it and take the other half 2 hours later.

Having abused these bad boys before, I will say that I found stacking ineffective.

Why waste money on coffee and energy drinks if you just want energy. Just buy a bottle of No-Doz (60 x 200 mg) for $10 or/and Tuarine (50 x 500 mg) for $10. That right there is only ~$20 for at least 50 hits of each. 50 coffees or 5-hour-energy or Monsters or whatevers would cost you $150+.

one of my friends used to buy no-doz and he would make his own very caffeinated kool-aid/lemonade/whatever because it was a lot cheaper than buying energy drinks. he would always have a pitcher or two ready to go in the fridge. i might have to steal this idea for med school.

WTF? Are you some sort of grizzly bear humanoid that can hibernate every night? I get headaches after 8 hours and have to wake up.

No-Doz

 

[MeowMeowCAT]

Could it just be a placebo effect but I went through a bottle of "store-brand" bottle of 200mg caffeine pills, I think it was the Rite-Aid ones...But I kind of want to say that I was not experiencing the same level of an effect as I did with the No-Doz kind the semester before. It does say that it's a "compared to", but kind of didn't feel like it.

Could there really be a significant amount of difference between the no-doz and the rite-aid's version, or is it just tolerance or something.

He got bitten by a radioactive bear. His sleep schedule has been trouble ever since.

No, there is a difference. I didn't buy the Rite-Aid brand but I did buy an alternative brand called Vivarin one time. It also says "compare to No-Doz" on the box. The quality of the caffeine was inferior to that of No-Doz. It wasn't as strong and the effects didn't last as long. Perhaps it has to do with the purity level? Vivarin seemed like some sort of hobo version of No-Doz, so I'd imagine the Rite-Aid brand would be the same.

 

[Godric]

Last year fall semester, Drank 2 large cups of coffee, 1 monster to stay awake all night, got in 2 hours of sleep, then 3 finals, during my second final I passed out, the TA woke me up, I some how finished the final, then during my third final felt sleepy took a shot of 5 hour energy, and about 20 mins later asked if I could go to the bathroom, went their, threw up, and went back to the exam room. The rest of the day was a little hazy after that.
Never doing that again.

caffeine is a mild stimulant and wont keep you awake for extended periods of time. You need stronger **** to do that

Thanks. Today I decided to pick up the 60 count bottle of No-Doz, and it does feel a lot better that the Rite-Aid stuff I tried. It could be a placebo effect, at least initially, but it seems like it's actually "working". The rite-aid ones just rushed me through the caffeine high roller coaster and then I was actually feeling even more tired than before like 10 minutes later. Not so with no-doz, starts out smooth and continues smoothly on. I was worried for a moment I was actually building up a tolerance, which would have sucked especially considering it is only somewhat the beginning of the semester. Really looking forward to getting back in the living-at-the-library routine I adopted last semester.

Love this stuff! <3

Really? I totally thought vitamin was just another word for tums.... what have I been doing all these years??

^This was a very timely bump, since someone just posted about needing a recommendation for how to stay up all night.

Also, B vitamins on an empty stomach do make me want to throw up.
