Caffine Pills

[iloveyouu.(:]

Last weekend my friends and I got some caffine pills, Vivarin to be exact. We've taken 2-3 everyday since. I'm kinda worried the pills are starting to get a bit addictive..not the pill itself, but the feeling. It makes us feel as if we just smoked a ton of weed. We get super paranoid, a little trippy, and it just makes us feel happy. If we take just one, it only wakes us up a little, which is okay cause we take them during school, but then we take 2 more and things just get really messed up. Its fun, but when you go home and you have absolutly no memory of what you learned the first few hours of school, you know you've got a problem. I can barely remember my whole week so far.. We've got a problem.

Hey Dani,

Seems like you're really in a predicament. Have you talked to your other friends about your concerns about possibly getting addicted and about the lack of memory? Maybe they feel it too.

I'd say stop taking them. If you are actually physically addicted to them then I would start taking less and less until you can stop (cutting the pills in half to have a smaller dose) or see a doctor. Caffeine is very addicting and dangerous. Too much caffeine can damage your organs. Especially if you're taking it in pills, b/c there's already so much caffeine occurring naturally in foods you eat.

Caffeine is a drug like any other, and shouldn't be recreationally used for reasons you've already figured out. I'm not going to preach and say drugs are bad b/c I don't actually believe that. But when they start interfering with your life that's when it becomes a problem.

Taking a caffeine pill isn't necessarily bad though... just don't do it everyday and follow the instructions on dosage.

I hope you're doing ok
Take care,
