Hello Members
I want to start off by telling you that contrary to popular belief,the drug companies aren't your friends,nor are they friends with Timmy your best friend three houses down the street.They want money that's all.
I decided to make this post so that I can clarify the HUGE misconception that over-the-counter "Caffeine Pills" are just freeze dried coffee.That can't be further from the truth.It's not something I'm proud of,but I was addicted to these pills for a little north of 3 years.Some students in Junior High and High School take these pills so they can stay awake and alert all night to study for a test or whatever as opposed to going to bed and losing all those hours sleeping when they could stay awake and use the time to study.
Right off the bat,they have just taken a synthetic substance to fight against the body when your body is trying to tell you that you need rest.Bad start!With some people,not all,the pills have become a tool to give you that boost you need.A few days later you hand in your test to the teacher confident that the pills helped you out big time by keeping you up all hours of the night to study.Here we go!
The next day the pills effects have worn off leaving you tired and totally sucked out.They picked you up,and they slammed you down.You go to bed to rest because your stamina is completely gone.Let's say you crash around 6:00 a.m. completely exhausted.When you wake up,it's dark outside,you look at your clock and low and behold it's 9:00 p.m.! You have completely messed up your regular sleep pattern.Since you have slept 15 hours your body has gotten some well needed rest.What really sucks is you didn't get natural rest,you got a chemical induced rest,not even a fraction as good as natural rest.
The next thing you know you are taking more pills(With Me It Was Prescription Sedatives or over-the-counter sleep-aids such as "Nytol" or "Sominex") to counter balance with hopes that it will get you back on track,now you have 2 problems to deal with as after a week or two,your body builds a tolerance to the drugs,causing you to increase the dosage to get the desired effects.How is that for a vicious circle?!
My point is,just because you can buy "Caffeine Pills" over-the-counter doesn't mean they can't hurt you.Where I live,a lot of young people are mixing "Caffeine Pills" with other drugs to intensify the euphoria of some drugs.For example,when you drink alcohol most people tend to get pretty sleepy(Believe me I know from experience)
So they take the pills to counter balance the sleepiness effect of alcohol,thus producing an even better high.
Know this young people,"Caffeine Pills" can send you to the ER with problems such as urine retention,difficulty in breathing,and cardiac arrest.In closing,I just want you to know that these pills and their chemical make-up are far from being compared to coffee.Be careful!!
God bless
