Equate - Stay Awake - Alertness Aid With Caffeine, Maximum Strength, 80 Tablets 200 Mg

I truly like this brand Equate. I believe their products are just as good if not better then some expensive name brand products! As for their Stay Awake - I love this product. I have used Vivarin once (double the price and depending on where you purchase it, even triple the price) of the Equate brand. I did not like the Vivarin - I felt jittery after taking it. The Equate Stay Awake (excellent price) helps me to just stay at the alert state I'm looking for with NO side effects. I usually split one in half and it does the job for a whole morning. If I feel sluggish/not able to function after a bad night's sleep I take a whole but that is once in awhile and with still no ill side effects. Also, if I had to compare this to Coffee - my personal experience - this is 100% better for me. I have drank coffee once in my whole entire life and personally it made me sick. I had the worse stomach ache and felt the caffeine was to strong - felt like I was bouncing off the walls from it with uncontrollable hand shaking. NEVER did I experience this with the Equate Stay Awake. This is my go to brand and would suggest this to all who are looking to try a stay awake product with no side effects!

This caffeine pills are great for college students. I have spent countless nights in the library up late doing homework, and these pills are handy to keep in your backpack. Considering one energy drink or coffee can cost around $2, for 80 pills (1 equivalent to one coffee), these pills are extremely cost effective and convient. I use them anytime i need a moderate energy boost - going out at night, studying late, when I have to be awake especially early, etc. Highly recommended - one pill will get you up and going within 20-30 minutes.

I started taking caffeine pills about 8 years ago with No-Doze. Those didn't do anything for me after two weeks of use. I then moved on to Vivarin, which is great! It keeps me awake and it doesn't make me jitter at all unless I have an empty stomach. The cost of 16 Vivarin at my local grocery store is around four dollars and eighty-six cents. Stay Awake is much more cost effective and I've only noticed one difference. Vivarin has a very thin coating on the outside to help ensure you swallow the pill before it breaks apart or starts to dissolve and Stay Awake does not. If you've ever taken Stay Awake before you know it's a race against time to get that pill down before it starts to dissolve and release a terrible face puckering reaction. Granted that passes quickly in most instances, but it's still kind of a pain...but not a negative thing worth paying for Vivarin in my opinion. I would recommend this product over Vivarin any day unless you're rich or have extra money to throw around at alertness aids.

I'm in medical school, and found myself getting very tired throughout the entire day. I was drinking cup after cup of coffee just to stay awake. The caffeine pills helped immensely. A whole pill at one time may be a bit much. So I would bite off half a pill in the morning and another half later in the day. This keep me awake, but without the jitters. Plus it saved me a lot of money I was wasting on coffee.

I have had kidney stone surgery and more than one kidney stone attack, I would not have purchased this product had I have know there was calcium as an ingredient. I was mislead because calcium was not shown on the advertised pic...but on bottle I received it IS listed! I would not recommend because of this deception. Also omitted is where manufactured/a product of China and Germany.

If you are looking to literally Stay Awake, this product is for you! The pills are average size making them easy to swallow. There is no after taste and no stomach upset. They are guaranteed to definitely perk you up after taking so be prepared! If you have occasion and need to be active and alert you can definitely pick up a bottle of these and rest assured they will do the trick.

this is awesome for late night must do assignments. although i did make the mistake of taking it without at least a little bit of food, and it just made me dizzy, but if you take it with food it works well. keeps you awake and alert unlike coffee that just makes you unable to sleep. recommend for late nights :) very happy

Sometimes you don't have time to brew coffee in the morning you just have to get to work in a hurry. This place I volunteered sometimes has me open in the morning and this helps give me that little extra burst of energy about as much caffeine as one cup of coffee buffered with calcium. I wouldn't have got it except it's 10 times less than it costs at the local store And the qualities better than their brand. I just I think that people get freaked out if you order pills by mail Hopefully doesn't give you a bad reputation.
