Just a Heads Up About Redbull, Energy Drinks & Adderall ......

OP, I worked graveyard shift for about 2 years (11pm-7am) so I feel for you. I stayed away from caffeine as much as a I could, but I had to totally change my day-centered lifestyle to night. It totally screwed up my social life and how you interact with family. It's gotta be even harder with marriage and kids who all run on a normal schedule.

Are you able to get off working nights? Is this a permanent thing?

Have you tried exercising (more) or during different times of the days to help keep you awake? When I worked nights, I'd take a 2 mile run during my "lunch" break (not outside, but I'd run in the building because no one was there).
 
I wish you well OP.

I have never drank red bull and I refuse to drink another ounce of coffee. I drank coffee once and I couldn't stop shaking. :smh:

This. I just drink decaf because I don't like the way caffeine makes me feel. Is it the caffeine or the actual coffee thats bad for you?

Black coffee isn't necessarily bad for you, in fact studies have shown benefits for it. Some don't react well to the caffeine so that could be a factor.. but drinking in moderation could help you avoid some problems.. A lot just get dependent on the caffeine since it's a daily part of their schedule (in the morning, afternoon, etc.)... so that can obviously be a problem.

What's bad is when people drink a giant Starbucks coffee loaded with tons of sugar, milk/cream, and sugary syrups... and have one or two everyday.

Good advice, onewearz, hope you'll get better.
 
My supervisor drinks at least 4 monsters a day. He said it helps him from relapsing back to his cocaine and alcohol addiction.

Where did you used to work at?
 
haven't had a Red Bull in ages. I take One-A-Day "energy" pills (vitamin + little caffeine/ginseng) when I wake up & do what 75% of Americans DON'T do in the morning: eat a REAL breakfast (turkey bacon/sausage, eggs, toast/bagel, & glass of OJ) :smokin

a dinky $5 combo consisting of a small coffee, greasy biscuit sandwich and greasy hash browns is gonna do nothing but give you an upset stomach by lunch time
 
I don't mess wit any of that stuff, but be careful for those who do.
 
Neighbor of mine in his mid 30's died due to Monsters. He died in his sleep. Surprising because he was an active dude, always hitting the gym, etc....
 
I'm sorry to hear that... Will never mess with the stuff though. Only had half of a Red Bull a long time ago and thought it was :x so I stopped.
 
I been working graveshift for the last 2 years and a full time student. It ain't that hard, don't rely on this crap!

Honestly I got through work and school efficiently, but I guess that just me.

Never liked these things anyway, they taste HORRIBLE! I don't know how you guys enjoy it.

Even the smell makes me want to vomit.
 
you was facing red bulls while rolling, a deathwish. Adderall already messes with your system (i had a UTI from taking 2 30mgs a day everyday). everything in moderation.
 
haven't drank energy things in a while, sorry to hear OP. I was messing with adderall a few years back while in school, haven't took em for two years.

This is how I felt a few years back when I drank that 4Loko poison.

One time I dead *** woke up early in the morning from how hard & fast my heart was beating...it scared the **** out of me and I haven't touched that trash ever since. Never again. I'll stick to the brown & clear.

onewearz, you buggin' w/ the Adderall and Red Bull combo bro. People die in their sleep all the time from toxic combinations of pills and drinks. Thankfully you're still breathing.

Plus what would the Yankees/Knicks threads be without you?
