I did not know caffine came in pill form.

Remember No-Doz? I think it was 100% caffeine.

Sorry to ping you to such an old thread, but I can't find this topic being discussed in any newer messagethread.

I am curious how many freepers are supplementing with No-Doz, or with generic tablets of caffeine -- have any of you seen any newer discussions about this?

I was surprised to learn on another website, one dealing with side effects from drugs, that overuse of No-Doz is associated with diarrhea, which surprised me, because even though I've read lots about caffeine, I'd never come across that as a normal side effect of too much caffeine.

I haven't been able to get past 2 tablets of either the generic variety or of the brand name No-Doz. Two pills is my current tolerance. Each pill contains 200 mg. of caffeine, and I also drink several cups of coffee each day.

Although I'm a long term coffee drinker, the very first time I took a No-Doz, shortly after the research with mice & caffeine & Alzheimer's Disease came out, I was UP ALL NIGHT LONG, wide wide awake & alert.

So, for a while I started breaking up the hard tablets, so that they'd have a better chance of dissolving and entering my system long before 3 am.

Are any of you now using pill-form caffeine as a result of this research?


Thank you.
