You must be aware or make precautionary action to energy pills.It do not fit to every body.In fact I heard and seen on TV and read on the newspaper that someone died because of eating energy pills.They did not work well for older men especially who have many illness such as diabetes melitus,heart attack disease,asthma,high tension blood etc.It is better if you ask to a doctor with prescription for buying an energy pills which is fit for your health..

Yes it works. Side effects of energy pills are very worst.

They do. Caffeine is a proved stimulant and this is the main ingredient to these pills.
I have taken them a few times and they do work, but they give you that buzzy awake feeling like a few espressos, its not like normal 'mid afternoon' awake, but its very difficult to sleep on them.

Yes, but remember not to eat anything 2 hours before taking them, or it won't work effectively. And to be taken 30 minutes prior to initiating nocturnal "activities"

it depends on the person...caffeine pills dont do anything for me...but Xenadrine NRG (8 hour power) works the best for me...within 5 min i'm wide awake and ready to go!

yes. but there are some side effects, especially when you get used to the smaller doses and need larger doses for the same effect. iirc, it turned my tongue yellow and made my pee green. also, once you stop, your memory turns to crap. back then, i was taking roughly 6 vivarin pills/day.

Only to a certain extent, but they're bad for you. Don't use especially if u have a heart condition.

I personally don't think so unless they were given to young children... They sound very similar to placebo. Hmm, me thinks I smell a rat.
