Customer Reviews of Equate Stay Awake Alertness Aid with Caffeine, Maximum Strength Tablets, 80-Count (Pack of 2)
Customer Review: Loses Effectiveness
Summary: 3 Stars
I drink one or two Cokes a day, so I worried about two things buying this: 1) that it wouldn't work because I am accustomed to caffeine, and 2) that eventually my tolerance would build such that I'd need to take more and more pills to get an effect. Basically, the latter seems to be the case. The first few times I took a pill, they worked well but also made my stomach ache and caused trips to the restroom. Being that I needed these to stay awake or feel less tired at work, it's not really the time to have an upset stomach nor the place you want to smell up the restroom. Working an 8-hr shift, I needed to take two of these, approximately one every four hours, and would start feeling as tired as or more tired than I did prior to taking it between 3-4 hours after taking a pill. So they don't last that long.
Second, after about two seperate days of the pills working but making me feel sick, the stomache aches/restroom trips went away...but so did some of the effectiveness of the pills. I had tried Five-Hour Energy drink before these pills, and the exact same thing happened, i.e. worked the first few times but made me sick, then neither worked that great nor made me sick. With neither the drink nor the pills have I used them more than 3 days a week, and the drink was actually less than that. The pills do still seem to work, but now it's as if I need two at once to get an effect and it either doesn't last long or my tiredness level is up and down during a 4-hr stretch. This is regardless of whether I eat with the pill or even regardless of having drank some Coke within a few hours of the pill(s). The past couple times I've used the pills to get through night shifts at work, I have felt pretty sleepy regardless of taking the pills with, like I said, varying levels of tiredness. And they now seem to work best when I take one upon waking up as opposed to when it's late and I need to stay awake. Another side effect of the pills, for me, has been smelling blood in my nasal passages and even some coming out on the kleenex when blowing my nose, especially after the first few times taking the pills.

Conclusion: they seem to work fine in the beginning, but you might experience some side effects and may end up needing to take more and more just to get the same effect as before.
