I feel like i'm coked up

seriously. I tried the stuff once when I was in college and how I'm feeling reminds me of it.

5 hour energy is the only energy stuff that works for me. I feel awake when I use them. I don't feel wired or anything weird. I just feel awake... It rocks.

I've tried it about 3 times and I think adderall feels similar but is stronger and lasts waay longer.


I give you 30mins before you start wretching your guts out from doing that on an empty stomach if you don't eat something now....

Yup, I love that stuff. I makes me feel not tired, just awake and normal. And unlike coffee it doesn't make me blow mud almost instantly.

I've tried 5-Hour Energy a few times and never felt anything...oh well. Energy drinks traditionally don't have an effect on me and even hard drugs I have a decently high natural tolerance to...always thought it was kind of weird.

Never drink that shit with an empty stomach, NEVER. I tell you from experience, do it after you eat a nice decently sized meal.

I use 5 hour energy regularly, I like that it doesn't make me feel anything but wide awake. No crash at the end either. Too bad about the taste, though.

Cheaper alternative: No-doz pills. Same active ingredient (caffeine) and a more portable, convenient package. Plus you can probably buy two 36-tablet bottles for the cost of a single 5 Hour Energy drink.

I'm not acclimated to lots of caffeine, so just about 50mg is enough to help give me a bit of a boost. If I get up into the 100mg+ range, then I start to feel jittery and tense.

heh, that shit is just B vitamins, taurine and caffeine, almost identical to RedBull

neither does a goddamn thing to me.

I prefer the 8-hour lethargy pills a.k.a. Norflex. I have an awful time getting any sleep.

I drank two of them ~6 hours apart for the WoW Cataclysm launch like a nerd, and I hadn't eaten anything since about 7pm and it didn't bother me.

7pm: Dinner
2am: Start playing
6am: Take first 5 hour energy
~Noon: Second 5 hour energy
7pm: Dinner
11pm: Slept like normal

I generally don't eat much. I kept myself hydrated, though.

None of those energy drinks do jack for me. It mighe be all the years I have been drinking 3-6 cups of coffee a day, who know. Only thing that works for me is ritalin or coke.

this. I can drink two monsters and fall asleep immediately but half a 5 hour energy and I feel it instantly.
