Gauranna is a nicer chemical on the body and the effects are more pleasant too.
Just keep in mind that they are only supposed to be used for short bursts and even though they pick you up for a bit, you will have a sharp drop in energy when they wear off and will be even more tired. You shouldn't use them to wake yourself up every morning, maybe you need to look at why you are so tired all the time?
I know exactly why I'm tired in the morning, I dont sleep, but theres not a great deal I can do about that.
Pro Plus are actually relatively weak, they are only 50mg a peice, a can of Coke is only 35mg and Diet Coke 45mg. But a Starbucks large Latte is about 500mg!
Caffine doesnt really work by itself anyway unlike other stimulants, you need to have suger with it. Unlike with amphetamine where your body will draw upon reserves caffine doesnt put your body in that 'fight or flight' state.
I found that a few cups of rocket fuel coffee (or any coffee i suppose) woke me up ten times more. A cup of that every morning and im good to go. Id fall asleep within an hour otherwise!
All pro plus did for me, was stop me yawning. Didnt make me feel any more alert.
i know that caffeine can (for example) make people who have anxiety more jittery.
anyone know abou this?
Caffine for example doesnt act on the dopamine like amphet.
Have a look at erowid.org chemical comparison.
