I keep seeing commercials about this product. then the other day guy at work had one and asked me to try it when I told him i was too tired to bike home from work.

i didnt try it but this stuff legit? what are the side effects? is it FDA approved? sounds like something a snake oil salesmen would sell.

it works as advertised, at least for me. If I'm driving home late at night and am feeling tired I will drink 1/2 of a bottle. I feel more alert and don't worry about falling asleep behind the wheel. I don't feel jittery, have a sugar crash afterward, or have trouble falling asleep. I rarely drink a full bottle so I may feel differently if I did, but 1/2 usually does the trick for me.

how long you been drinking it for? anything long term you notice?

what does it have caffeine? would it be just like drinking coffee or is it stronger?

Waiting for the classic SNL reference...

I have been using it for several years and aside from developing lustrous salt and pepper hair, a charming personality, and chromesthesia (I can hear colors), I have not noticed any side effects.

I have tried other products such as Red Bull, Monster, or XS that made me feel very jittery or just kind of sick, but I have not experienced that with 5 Hour Energy

if you go to their website or Google it, I'm sure you can find a complete list of ingredients.

I crossed the English Channel using only an old screen door, Flex Seal, and 5 Hour Energy.

It’s a rip off for the price. Buy a Double Gulp instead and the incessant need to pee will keep you awake just fine.

I would think you can buy like 1000 no-doze on Amazon for way less.

Don't take it if you have any kind of anxiety. It will fuck you up.

its main active ingredient is caffeine. its the same thing as one caffeine pill for $5. you can get 300 caffeine pills for $4 at walmart.

but of course, tell people who drink it that all they need is a caffeine pill and they freak out saying they dont do drugs.

As somebody who has had heart issues with rapid heartrate (SVT), I have never partaken of the product, or Red Bull, Monster, etc. I took caffeine pills a couple of times in graduate school, but mostly just bought cans of Jolt.

These days I just drink espresso. A double at 3pm usually keeps me going and fades before bedtime.
