Stay awake - No-doz, V, Redbull, Coke etc

[007XX]

Caffeine dependence has nothing to do with personality and everything to do with endocrinology.

Go strictly off all caffeine for a whole week. You might be surprised at the way your body responds.

She has me 6 times a week?

I agree with Jr...the response of going without is very surprising. I think that most people who do away with stuff like that for a couple of days (after going hard for a few years) underestimate the fact that levels remain high or just sufficient in your body to not trigger the withdrawal symptoms immediately...Give it time, and lookout!!!

The LD50 for caffeine is about 160mg/kg.

In other words, one would expect 128 No Doz pills to be a fatal dose for an 80kg individual in 50% of cases.

So, um, don't take 128 No Doz pills or drink a crate of V, I guess.

Red Bull, V etc... = Lollie-water.

Stack the caffeine with Ephedra and Asprin.
Stay awake and burn fat at the same time.

Oh, for the good old pre-'P epidemic' days when I could hit a website with my credit card and get ephedrine hydrochloride delivered by the pound via mail-order from the States!



Not to mention trenbolone acetate arriving via UPS in lovely big styrofoam temperature-stable containers. No, really, I'm a vet, see?

Do re-read the OP. The warning is not about the amount of caffeine but rather the impact of acids upon your stomach.

Trust me, messing that bit up is very uncomfortable!

Personally I have to take opium every day to sit still behind my computer and at least 3 bottles of wine just to fall asleep...

Would someone please think of the stomach linings?

Personally, I would have though a few V's tempting the stomach lining with some heartburn wasn't really a problem considering the dry retching after a hard night on the Double Browns......

Yeh, everyone got off the track a bit, but it has certianally been entertaining....
For those that regularly drink this sort of stuff, their stomachs are probably use to it and it is of no concequence.
I am amazed at the amount of research some have done on the facts about caffinePersonally I'm not a big drinker of coffee let alone the other stuff available. Have not found it to keep me allert/awake. I am going to try No doz tonight, so it will be interesting to see if i feel any affects. Have 100K return trip after work, with 2 hrs of dancing inbetween. The drive back is a bitch.
Yep, drive.... dont have a bike, but have ridden off road marking competition tracks for the 500Kg, 4 legged horse power that I use. Lots a fun, both horse and bike.

Having been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia a couple of years back I can attest to the discomfort caused by stomach acid in your asaphagous!!! When swallowing a small mouthful of water hurts like you're going to pass out it's not fun anymore...

Fortunately my hernia now seems to have disappeared... good riddance!!!


As for drinking caffeine - I had a V Black the other week... holy shit that stuff kicks ass. Brought me from rather sluggish around to full pep like *PING*!

You still drink drouble brown??? I thought they stopped making it about 20 years ago.

if your worried about stomach lining then crush the no doz and snort it or have the drinks intravienisly... :S XD ... or you could just try sleeping in

[breakaway]

I have a lot of coke / pepsi / coffee, I can honestly say that this shit makes no difference to my day.

I can bet no-doz won't either. Maybe if I powder it up and sort it.

Was researching No-doz and came accross some entries here. I was concerned enough about some of the advice given on how to stay awake to prompt me to join the site to offer the following warning.

Be carefull how much V, Redbull, Cola etc you consume at one time. These are all very acidic and too much can burn your stomach lining off. I had a friend caught out with combining too much V and Cola, he suffered incredable stomach pain for more that 3 days and trouble keeping food down.

so you are joining every forum in new zealand then?

it's prob the health minister trying to get us to drink healthier with scare tactics bwaahahahahhahaha
