I too thought about getting them once but when I saw the amount of caffiene in them I said no! Because you can get a bigger dose of caffiene from a cup of coffee or a can of coke or a lot of energy drinks! Perhaps you should tell your mum that!

Never tried them. I wonder how much caffeine you'd get from those compared to some Coffee.

They work but the come down is not worth it, like red bull you get 1 hour of alertness then you end uop with a headache and generally sleepy. I would stick to a good cup of coffee :)

These are the 200mg ones so you do get more than a cup of coffee, you can even buy 400mg ones which are ridiculous. I used to drink a litre of thoses energy drinks on thursdays over an hour to make physics A levels easier and they were like 320mg

Never tried them, even though I've been offered. I'd rather eat something that doesn't have caffeine in it, I've always felt a bigger surge of energy from a cookie than an energy drink.

I've used them before. Just because I was too lazy to brew some coffee or tea. 200mg of caffeine is a pretty heavy dose. Don't need more than that, really. Though I did take 2 a few times :o It's weird how my multiple cup of coffee drinking mom is fine with caffeinated coffee but gets weirded out when I say I take caffeine pills sometimes. It's just a different form of the same drug.

How is a caffeine pill different from 2 cups of coffee? Other than that one of those makes you have to pee.

I don't drink coffee either but i would imagine that it's more concentrated. also you'll still pee more since caffeine itself is a mild diuretic. Caffeine tolerance is also something that develops quickly and withdrawal symptoms occur too. not something i'd want to be consuming on a daily basis.

you know, some of the pills come with lines in the middle. That means you can break them in half for a half dose. 1/2 pill = 100mg = 1 cup coffee, roughly.

i'm more against the pill form because it's the refined and not natural form. they type that can be abused more easily. also since it is a mild diuretic but you're not drinking the coffee you'll need to consume more water or risk becoming dehydrated.

Coffee dehydrates as well. But, this way, you can be drinking solely water the whole time. Sure, it can be "abused more easily," but that's on the user, not the drug. I'm not sure how I feel about your refined vs. natural business. What about instant coffee? That stuff has got to be unnatural...

So you're drinking caffeine and sugar on top of caffeine pills without ever hydrating? *That* is unhealthy. Drink a cup of water before every soda you drink. You'll feel better.

Why order caffeine pills off a shady website when Excedrin has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee? It can be bought over the counter (awesome for headaches).

But no, I've never used caffeine pills to stay awake, just Excedrin for headaches. My cousin stole my bottle of Excedrin and used them to pull an all-nighter on World of Warcraft. I wanted to kill him.

The problem with Excedrin being used in that way is that it has 500mg of acetaminophen. If I recally correctly, taking more than 2000 mg is a lot, 4 grams taken over the course of a day can hurt your liver, and 10 grams taken in a single sitting will most likely kill you.

I had another this mornin at 11.30 and I fine, but I did get a little dry mouthed yesterday. I have never used caffeine to play wow, but I did keep drinking lattes every 3 hours to stay up on nights when trying for 48h no sleep, i think I managed 60h but i may have fallen aspleep for half n hour after the 48 mark.

I have never had a caffeine pill before. I'm guessing that drinking a big cup of coffee in the morning will have the same effect, but I gave that up a few months ago. :( Now I'm just drinking tea.

Just one bag a day, but I also make ice tea with it so when I do that I drink more. On the box it says it has half the caffiene of a cup of coffee, either that or it was a quarter, I don't remember. :x Anyway I got a box with like 300+ bags of tea in it for a cheap price like $7 or something so I'll have a lot of tea to drink this year.

Tea has between 40 and 60 mg of caffeine, I think. Green tea on the low end, Black on the high. Just memory.

Green tea definitely has caffeine. a cup of coffee has 100mg, generally. So, about half in tea is correct.

Oh ok. That's good. I'll have to check the numbers out on green tea. It's probably lower than black tea and that's why I thought it didn't have any in it err something like that. :lol:

Yeah, I think green tea has like 2/3 the caffeine of black tea which has like 2/3 the caffeine of coffee, give or take?
