If you dont know how it works, you dont know what else it does.

Also, if you do not have one of the conditions these drugs effectively treat, you may just be speeding, euphoric and ruining your sleep patterns, without any improvement in cognitive filtering, prioritizing, or attention (or bankroll).

Anything that mimics a sympathetic amine in any way may, in a few individuals, predispose to cardiac rhythm disturbances or coronary insufficiency, not something you'd want to risk in search of an extra tenth of a BB/hour.

A safer alternative for me (albeit modestly helpful), is arginine. There is a small amount in Red Bull and suchlike, but I have found a supplement company that produces a BIG dose.

Arginine does not directly help you stay awake, but I thoroughly believe that it helps me with attention and concentration. Nice during those late night multis.

Fire away. I do not have a medical degree.
