Re: Red Bull and V......or b-b-b-B-B

b-b-b-berocca .. contains a specific combination of B group vitamins and vitamin c, enhanced wth added calcium, magnesium and Zinc. Ingrediants that work in synergy to help your body release the maximum energy from the food you eat.

Thats what the pack says anyway. and i find it works ! ... whilst making your piss glow in the dark in a most entertaining fashion.

I too am a bit freaked by this pee stuff. and ewww i smelt berocca once and it made me wanna puke. so i dont think i'll be trying that!

But aii I am wondering whether my headache today was a result of no sleep or too much v or maybe a combo? Either way there's like 2 more days and then i can detox! wooo!

I take guarana (2000mg, + gingsen 500mg), but it doesn't seem to make that much difference. Then again, i've never really found caffene (coffee etc) or anything has affected me that much. I rarely drink v or red bull or anything, have never really liked putting those chemicals into my body...

I also take iron every morning and fish oil, I forget what else it has, but it's called eye q, also i'm getting my mum to buy me some Ginkgo Biloba, it's supposed to be good for concentration and attention, which I NEED!

Anyone take any caffene pills? Do they actually work?

Huh? Red Bull? V?



Endorush :rofl:

Half a bottle got me slightly jittery, which would otherwise require at least a litre of Red Bull. Unfortunately it's $10 a bottle.

They may help in the sense that its a mentality thing. A superstition some people just drink it to "calm the nerves." But as for actually stimulating ur mind for longer, thats not true. It will put u on a high for mayb 30 minutes or so. But what HSC exam goes for that long lol. And as the saying goes, what goes up must come down, so after that high u have just been put on, u come right back down! :bomb: We had a discussion about this exact thing in pdhpe.

That really depends.. Personally I don't think these drinks are really capable of "calming the nerves" (since they're actually designed to be stimulants), but they do affect your mind.

It depends on what you're having, how much of it, and how tolerant you are. I remember almost a month ago I thought it would be fun to conduct a semi-suicidal experiment to see how much caffeine I'd need to pass out/die while recording the effects of different levels of it on my body and mind. I've taken this directly from the notes I took on my phone, the italics are comments I added just now.

24/07/07 - 334mg (One bottle of Red Bull, two 355ml cans)
Lightheaded, mild hyperactivity (took a scooter down Mt. Steele, crashing at somewhat high speeds in the process :uhoh:)

26/07/07 - 456mg (Four 355ml cans of Red Bull)
Highly hyperactive, shivering, trembling, highly irritable, anxious (somewhat paranoid), cognitive difficulty (couldn't think of any other way to describe it.. I could not think straight)

27/07/07 - 714mg (One 355ml can of Red Bull and 6 NoDoz caffeine tablets)
Mild euphoria (wore off about an hour later), restlessness (more like impatience), lightheadedness. (I passed out as soon as I got home and sat down though, my dad woke me up later on.. Not sure if it was from the caffeine or just fatigue)

My original plan was to have more and more coffee every morning, but I CBF going to Starbucks. So I started having Red Bull. Except by that Friday (the 27th) I'd spent quite a bit on it, so I decided to just go with NoDoz since they're much cheaper.

Since then I've dropped that plan and only take energy drinks to keep me awake/focused for study.

before my english paper 2 exam i took a can of "mother" because my whole week had been EXAMS and i needed to spend the morning cramming my essays. i got 3/4 of the way through the can and i started feeling jittery but i was really awake and focused, i was loving it. then, after about 5mins , i was already feeling anxious about the exam and the drink just made it worse. i had a full blown anxiety attack where i was going dunny every few minutes i was gagging i was rocking back and forth in the foetal position i was trembling i didn't wanna do the exam i even called the school and told them i couldn't do it.
then i turned up and i did it and the questions were easy anyway. but the thing is i was lucky that i took it 5hrs before the exam, cos it wore off about 10mins into the test and i was ok *phew*
it sucks cos i used to take these drinks in yr 8 just to get high ( i know retarded) but i didn't realise my caffine tolerance was this low, it only had 80mg = weak cup of coffee.
and yeah all energy drinks taste shit, but coffee also tastes shit.
i also take berroca and gingko biloba and fish oil - seems to be helping.

Like I said, IMO. I know one of my friends are like addicted to it; He takes like 5 cans every time we go to an internet cafe -.-; Seriously, I don't even wanna think about how other energy drinks taste, since V is bad enough to me. I'm so not touching this stuff ever again after the HSC. Actually, I already feel guilty for drinking it -.-;

Huh? o_O;

Did you say they "calm the nerves"? Whenever I drink V, I notice that I start jittering and twitching a lot. It actually hypes me up. I took 2 sips today during phys tuition and that was enough to make me start twitching. There was once when I took an entire bottle and, god, I was twitching like mad. I was helping a friend with schoolwork on MSN and she was like: "Are you ok? You sound a bit like you're desperate to go to the toilet". So yeah, V hypes me up wayyy too much.
