Default No Doz

Anyone use it and what do they think?

I was full on falling asleep today at school, couldn't even keep my eyes open, took a no doz at lunchtime and now I'm fully awake. Hope theres no crazy side effects :

I used to work on shift and took these a few times. No side effects. Didn't think it helped all that much.

I think they have as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.

STOP right there do not go past go do not collect $100.00....if youve' got to take pills to stay awake thats bad and can and I stress can/might lead to more stronger drugs.

First thing you've got to do is get at least 8hrs sleep a night,eat good balanced diet lots of fruit/veg and water and get plenty of exercise you'll be surprised how exercise can make you feel so much better,trust me I know.

It is a stop gap measure, you were tired for a reason.. Try a natural drug.. It is called sleep and nutrition... Being tired is the bodies way of telling you to slow up, or supply it with essential nutrition and vitamins... You can't get any of those from a single pill... A Change of habit and lifestyle will make you feel 100 times better with 1000 times more energy..

Ok i might sound like an old fuudy duddy but take the advice of a 15 year stoner and night owl.. Change your lifestyle before your body has a breakdown from the excessive stresses and quick fixes you are putting it thru...

What works today might cost you tomorrow

I tend to agree with John Mac and Racecraft, you are tired for a reason.

I have used No Doz a few times and it did nothing to me but i did find that later the next day that when i went to sleep i sweated a lot .
I dont drink coffee or have much soft drink , I dont smoke ( anything ) . I Think for me it was just a bit of a buzz as i dont have caffeine.

Sink a couple of bottles of Redbull or Redeye and you will be right.

yep, this is what i do when im tired.....
as part of my job im a delivery driver..... sometimes you get just a little tired - a redbull usually fixes it..
if not i pull over for a 20 minute snooze. the boss doesnt mind..... rather be late than dead.

i'd say popping pills - doesnt matter what they are - is a big no no..
as mentioned it'd probably ( not possibly) lead to harder drugs once your body gets used to them and they no longer have effect
