Redbull is expensive, while caffeine pills are around 7 cents a pop. I don't know why these pills would be age-gated, and I'm not planning on overdosing.

Today I got some CVS brand 200mg caffeine pills, because it's so much easier then drinking mad energy drinks and it's the closest you can legally get high at my age. On the box all it says is to not take more than one every 3 hours, but it doesn't give you the lethal dosage.

If I weigh 100lbs, how much would it take to be lethal, or at least end up in the hospital? What would happen if I took all 11 of the pills left over?

I want to lose weight, and I go to the gym at least three times a week, but my appetite is so huge I find myself always hungry. I'm not making the progress I want because I'm always munching away. Should I try caffeine pills? I don't plan on taking more than one maybe like twice a week in the mornings. Thoughts?

Has anyone ever taken caffeine pills everyday for a long time and then stopped? If so, what are your personal side effects from stopping?

I'm in high school and I run track and field. I was wondering if I took a energy drink or caffeine pills before a race would they help me preform better on a mid-distane run.

hello everyone,

I heard of a story about a college student dying of a hearth arrhythmia (rapid heartbeat) caused by taking too much caffeine pills....with that being said, can a person really die by taking large amounts of caffeine pills? and is it common?

Thank You!

This may be a lazy move but I buy caffeine pills so I don't have to go through the process of making coffee in the morning. I don't take a whole pill though, I cut it in four pieces and take that one piece in the morning. Throughout the day I take the pieces so basically I only take one pill for the day. Could it be doing something if I take them too long.

Does anyone have any other safe supplements or drinks to have in the morning that work.

For school I'm testing the effect of caffeine on the heart rate of daphnia, so I have to prepare various concentrations of the caffeine solution. I'm going to be using caffeine pills (one pill is 200 mg), so what would be good concentrations to prepare? I don't want to kill the daphnia obviously, but I would like to get some good, clear results. Thanks!

I had a hellish work week and relied heavily on caffeine pills, soda, coffee, tea, etc. to get me through. Unfortunately, I overdid it and seem to have developed a dependence on caffeine. Without it, I'm lethargic, sluggish, and have absolutely no focus or will to work. How do I go back to my normal habits?

I was wondering if selling caffeine pills in school is legal. It's an over-the-counter drug that you can buy in powder, and I was wondering if someone was selling them in capsules of like 200mg (approx. equivalent to a monster energy drink) to other students at school if that would be legal. It sounds like it wouldn't be but I'm just wondering. Also please only answer if you really know the answer I don't want any speculation, guesses, or assumptions. And if you read all of this be sure to put the word "monkey" somewhere when you write a response. Thank you!
