Well caffeine works differently with different ppl. I will say it in my experience it does work like it says. I mean in hardly no time. Also the great thing is you dont crash and burn when it wears off like other caffeinated things.

I'm used to caffeine so that's not a problem.I guess I thought this stuff wasn't supposed to have caffeine in it.

[Dr_Funkdamental]

It has other stuff as well, but it does contain an amount of caffeine. I drink coffee on the regular, so I am used to it as well, but this stuff nicely powers you up.

I found that I can have an extra beer or two if I drink a 5 hour energy drink. I don't get a noticable buzz until 5 or 6, rather than 3 or 4. Sure does help with practice after a full day of work.

Sometimes I take one before work if I'm exceptionaly tired. They work pretty well, and the only side effect I noticed is that I feel a little warm. Tastes like crap though.

[Dr_Funkdamental]

LOL yeah, you wanna hurry up and down it before it hits your taste buds lol.

Just an overdose of vitamins, IIRC. A multivitamin should do the trick.

I was given a box of the Fruit Punch flavor and tried it out. It did a much better job then the energy drinks. Like the commercial says no caffiene crash. I drank half of the bottle then about 4 hours later I drank the rest.

I drank these during the morning and afternoon, not sure if it would keep you up all night if you drank it late night.

I tried it once. It made me really shaky. I stick to Red Bull.

I've tried them before and they work, but they taste like crap. It's a not problem though because the taste can easily be overcome if you chase it down with something else after. IME, there IS a crash after, but it's not as severe as the crash you get from an energy drink.

Not too long a go an old man I work with, around 70 or so, had one of these, and he didn't die of any heart related problems, so I would assume they are safe.

I use them every once in a while. I usually dilute them in a bottle of vitamin water, so there is less of a rush, but it stretches the "energy" out a bit more.

[Spector_Ray]

Good stuff. I don't get the jitters and crash like I do with other energy drinks. I drink them on long drives and it helps to keep me alert.

[steve21]

Yeah, it works okay. Keeps me going, doesn't really give "energy." Then again energy drinks are basically just weird tasting soda to me.




You want real energy, just do a line of coke instead.

[Chunk-O-Funk]

So, what does this stuff do to your tempo?

Do you find yourself rushing the beat?

[FingeringAm]

i think ill stick to heroin kkthnxs

[Dr Stankface]

Am I the only who is not affected by caffeine in energy drinks, coffee, or anything else. I swear, all it does it dehydrate me. Badly.

It also doesn't affect me. I can drink 2 amps before bed and still sleep like a baby. Fortunately it doesn't dehydrate me either

5 hour energy is the ONLY thing that stimulates me. I've had like 8 cups of coffee at the local restaurant my friends and I occasionally commandeer and still sleep fine as well. But the 5 hour energy shots give me just the ability to not pass out.
