No Doz = Yes Doz?

So it's about 9PM and I pop a no doz to be more alert at the pokah tables and it's making me more tired??? What is going on, does this happen to anyone else with caffeine?

My friend passed out after taking a caffeine pill.

What are the symptoms of caffeine overdose?

Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and can produce a variety of effects elsewhere in the body. The symptoms of a caffeine overdose ("caffeinism") will vary, according to individual differences and the amount consumed. Doses ranging from 250 to 750 mg (2 to 7 cups of coffee or tablets of NoDoz) can produce restlessness, dizziness nausea, headache, tense muscles, sleep disturbances, and irregular heart beats. Doses of over 750 mg (7 cups of coffee) can produce all of the above as well as a reaction similar to an anxiety attack, including delirium, drowsiness, ringing ears, diarrhea, vomiting, light flashes, difficulty breathing, convulsions (extreme overdose). These amounts of caffeine may come from a single dose or from multiple doses at short intervals. Besides caffeine's effects, the essential oils of coffee may cause gastrointestinal irritation and diarrhea, and the high tannin content of tea can result in constipation.

Negatory, well it's possible since I've never been specifically tested for it but I doubt it.

Yes, some people are made drowsy by caffeine. Don't ever take more than 200mg of caffeine every four hours.

Also, some people do not get any analgesic relief from tylenol. For some people tylenol interferes with sleep.

There is a lot of variability in how individuals respond to drugs.
