Has anybody tried these yet?



They truly do work. I will pick this over an energy drink any day.

Jolt also makes a very good one.

Maybe I'm weird, but for me, energy drinks have the same affect as the commercials say those things do, and they taste good. So I think I'll just stick with an Amp for now.

I have, and yes, it certainly helps with long drives, as I have tendency to white-line or gutter and nap....

I could see ravers taking this with chewable vitamins (like the old "smart drinks" w/ Gatorade) to stay up all night....

I haven't tried that particular product, but I've tried similar ones. They generally just give me the jitters for a while, then make me sleepy.

I had one, it worked: No jitters, but by far the worst tasting thing I've ever tasted. I couldn't drink it like a shot since it was in it's confined little bottle, so I had to work down this horrid tasting liquid. It's like the worst cough mediciney taste, with a hint of vomit. But, yeah, it works.

I tried it, got freaked out by it. I could seriously feel it flowing through my veins. Like, my Veins became self conscious. It was pretty crazy.

WOrked though. next HUGE drive I do, I'm taking one.

It's hard to take you seriously when you say this given your avatar.

I don't feel energetic when I take these, it just makes me unable to go to sleep.

I tried headshot from the walmart checkout isle during finals I took it when I got tired. I was asleep within thirty minutes of taking it. It had a good review online but did nothing for me.
