Yes, and I love them, but be careful they can set you off.

Mytherapist said sometimes you just gotta sleep.
Are you able to just let everything go and let yourself sleep?

They do work really well. I swore by them before I got preggers. You feel it kick in in about 10-20 minutes and you feel a rush for about 21/2 hours and then it stays level for a while and then tapers down and off. Things I would be careful of: with that much energy I would forget to eat and then when it would slowly wear off I would find myself getting irritable b/c I had done so much and now I would be feeling it close to bed. Other than that I have no complaints. Oh and drink it quickly. It tastes like berry koolaid but has a bite.

Be very careful, they can give you too much energy or make you red and tingly all over from too mcu niacin. Called niacin flush .

No. I never try or want to try them.

Good old fashioned Lucozade for me :-)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
