I am a college student & took this to help me stay awake for an all-night study session. Within 15-20 minutes it gave me terrible diarrhea, which is unusual for me because I drink caffeinated beverages everyday. It did make me feel alert for a couple hours though, not the 3-4 that it advertises.

Would Highly not recommend this product. I took it cause I started a night shift at work. Within 5 min of taking the pill I gained a boost in energy. but after the 2nd or 3rd hour I was completely drained and was falling asleep extra fast.

I took Stay Awake as directed, 1 tablet so I wouldn't feel so drowsy for a 7-hour drive. Directions indicate it should work for 3-4 hours. After 3 1/2 hours was on the highway and very suddenly was struggling to keep my eyes open and ended up dozing off to find myself headed toward the cement barrier of the highway. Thank God I woke up from the sound of the rumble strip and was able to avoid it. Would not recommend Stay Awake to anyone. Has anyone else experienced this? I did not have any other caffeine and no sugar while I took this.Read More Read Less
