Need Caffeine for finals?

I much prefer these. For poor college students during Finals week (and all through the semester, really), you can't beat 36 pills of 200mg caffeine for $3.99 😛
 
Just a heads up but Bawls and Bawls mints are worthless.. they will not give you any energy or keep you alert..

one man's opinion? bawls actually works great for me... i like the taste best too.
 
Just remember... caffeine makes you more alert, not more awake. You'd need something like taurine or pseudo-ephedrines to actually keep you awake. On top of that you'd need to take something to help clean up your thought train (caffeine and taurine both make you loopy), like vinposetine and huperzine (sp?) (base ingredients of focus-factor) or just smoke a cig (nicotine helps you think, believe it or not).

After having fallen asleep at the computer several times in the middle of a paper while in the middle of an expresso binge, I would say the best advice is to get plenty of sleep and eat well. Nothing seems to work better. Now if only I could follow my own advice...

Vasapro is what I use when I need ephedrine.. its ephidrine HCL, which is not the banned version.. its used to treat weazing coughs and for asthma 🙂
 
Well, nocturne offers the most sound advice. Centrum Performance daily vitamin (cheap generic available at Target) actually did a lot for me once I started taking it daily. That and gallons of water a day will actually keep you pretty energetic.

Now, that said, we live in a world where many of us want to cram as much as possible into the time we have, and wish sleep wasn't necessary. So I offer you some very cheap stim alternatives:

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/index.html

Bodybuilding.com ships things $2.99 for most small orders 2-3 day priority mail, which is nice cuz you can at least get saturday delivery with USPS.

SciFit Caffeine
200 count of 200mg pills $6.94

and who needs "pseudo" ephedrine when you can get the real thing! (yes it's legal, it all depends on how it's packaged)

Ephedrine 25mg/48tabs $9.99
Ephedrine 12.5mg/48tabs $7.50

Why. If you take it at night do you stay up for a long time? I've taken ADD meds (legally, though I rarely use them b/c of side affects). Just curious.. I've never taken any after noon or so.

Yes. Adderall and Ritalin will keep you up and wired for some time depending on the dosage. If you do have ADD, this stuff is amazing. It lets you focus like none other. If "normal" people can concentrate like this all the time, I'm jealous. If you don't have ADD, it will just really keep you awake. That's why you hear about kids crushing and snorting it, it's apparently like some kind of cheap coke. That's just stupid and unnecessary though.
