Red Bull is sh`t, don't drink it

[backseatjuan]

Supposedly Red Bull gives you wings, so I drank it for about a week, because I wasn't getting much sleep. Guess what, instead of being energetic, I kept falling asleep. Now I'm just drinking coffee and I'm feeling alright. Thus, Red Bull is crap.

It caffeine so ofcourse it is crap. Caffeine is a horrible stimulant. If you want a stimulant, go to the doctor and claim ADD.

Never had it but had V lots of times. It does not have much of an effect on me. :woo:

Viagra is not a stimulant.

If you like stimulants and addys or Vyvanse are not to be had, go to GNC and get Alarm. It'll wake you right up and give a nice tweaky feeling. Or look for any products that contain DMAA http://hprc-online.org/blog/dietary-supplements/files/DMAA_List.pdf

I don't recommend long term use of DMAA. It will be illegal soon anyway. It's bad for your heart.

Go with Adderall or Vyvanse. It has been studied for 30 years and is not bad for your health in therapeutic doses. How can it not be had? Keep going to doctors until you get it. Unless you can't afford it or don't have insurance. Then you should worry about getting a better job.

I think everyone in the country should be prescribed adderall. Imagine the production.

5 hour is the only sh*t that had me scared $hitless cause I had too much energy

That stuff is a joke. It's a shot of caffeine packaged up for 3.99. Taking a caffeine pill that costs 20 cents gives the same effect.

5 hr energy worked the first couple of times for me......granted, that was before I drank coffee regularly. All those carbonated energy drinks (red bull, monster, rockstar) make me feel like crap and don't really perk me up at all.

Coffee is really the only thing that always works because the only active ingredient is caffeine, especially if you drink espresso 5-6 shots at a time like I do when I need a boost. Caffeine isn't a horrible stimulant at all. Maybe compared to Aderrall or Ritalin, but not just in general.

Oh and DMAA is the sh1t, at least for awhile until you build a tolerance to it and it starts fvcking with you. That old jack3d is where it's at.

Looks like our good old nanny state has banned it already. This article is from yesterday:

I remember in the 90's being able to buy ephedrine mini thins from truck stops and sleazy gas stations. They were awesome.

Now in a pinch I drink NOX zero and it does the job alright.

That really sucks about DMAA.

I still have a jar of old jack3d formula that is maybe a quarter full. I've been savoring it.

Thought about it but I'm 45 and thought claiming ADHD is for teens and young adults. What are the right things to say to get a doctor to write an Rx?

The most important thing is you show up dressed well and talk well. I got it on my first visit, and I didn't even ask for it. All I did was tell the doctor I was tested positive for ADD when I was a kid, but my parents were too strict to allow me to take medications. I then explained how I was a failure in school my entire life, until I turned 18 and went to the doctor on my own. If you have a degree, don't tell them.

I explained that when I went on my own to the Doc, I was prescribed adderall my senior year in high school and I did very well and graduated. I then went off the meds due to cost and insurance issues, but now I am struggling again at work and with family life. I told him I have anxiety ALL the time and can never relax. The doc understood and described this as "baseline anxiety". Just tell them you have been dealing with it without meds most of your life, but now it's causing you great stress in life.


Doc told me he is going to give me Wellbutrin ONLY and see how that does. I was pretty disappointed, but I did NOT get angry, I did not argue, I did not ask for adderall. I just agreed with him and said "whatever you think is best doctor".

Then he asked me if I was in a lot of car accidents? I said "not recently". He said "if you have ADD you would have alot of car accidents".

Then I told a story about how I almost died years ago when I had a bad car wreck when I wasn't paying attention to the road.

I believe that was the tipping point. I was then handed 2 scripts, one was for the adderall.

I pulled it off like a BOSS. I really do have ADD though, and my stories were true. You can still pull it off though.

Another thing, if they give you a different medication the first visit, DON'T WORRY, take it if you want, or not. Then the next visit tell them "it's not working", then they give you what you want.

Rip off. Although, I don't mind a Rockstar here and there, because they taste good. Other than that, water is still the best source. You want an energy boost, go outside and jog around the block then chug some water

My buddy said he will sell me this stuff that's supposed to be potent, it's called "crystal"

Kidding.

Damn man. Yeah there's a GNC near me that still carries the old formula of jack3d. I was talking to the salesman about it a few weeks back, and he said he didn't really know what was going on, because they still are getting shipments of it, even though there are articles like this, and it's really hard to find the old stuff online. I'm taking a break from it right now, let myself reset, but I may go to see if they still have any tomorrow, and buy up some tubs. Thanks for the heads up.

Quick pro tip: go for an Indian doctor. They don't give a **** and will prescribe anything.

It came out fairly recently that the taurine in energy drinks like Red Bull has a similar effect on one's heart as eating a steak. One won't kill you, but drinking a12-pack a day is not exactly a smart idea.

 

[Dominance]

I used to have 2 a day at some point. Just got addicted to it and didn't feel normal without it. That was horrible.

Then nearly 2 years ago changed my diet alot, last time I tried to drink one I took a sip and threw it in the bin. Ocasionally i'll have a V, but the last few times it just hurts my head. All those things I didn't notice when I was addicted to them and eating badly all the time.

Now that I eat much better I really notice the negative affects.
