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.

I know nothing about the use of No-Doz or caffeine related to amyloid plaque with caffeine. I've never even heard of it. Sound like it could have serious, undesirable side effects. Read this:

I have been taking 600 mg of this every morning.

1000 mg gives me heartburn, but 600 mg works fine.

Whether it is helping with my memory or not...

...I can't remember.
