Five Hour Energy

Hi All- Day 9 and counting! WOW it is amazing how everyday really does get a little better. Well I experienced hell and this must be what heaven is like:) . Just a quick question...my energy is zero ( I know par for the course) has anyone ever tried that lil bottle of 5 hour energy? If so, does it help? Or am I just looking for a quick fix with false promises? Thanks all, you are my rocks!!!

When I was taking pills, the Five Hour Energy thing didn't affect me at all.
But once I'd been off of them for at least a week, it started affecting me and made me feel pretty good.
I thought I was slightly ADHD, to where caffeine or anything didn't affect me, but now I'm not sure.

I must agree with everyone that the 5 hour energy really does work. It got me thru some really rough days. It also seems to help with positive motivation. Big ups on 9 days!

Those 5 hour energy were my savior the first 6 days!  They really do work, I took one in the morning on my way to work and another one mid-afternoon.  Now I'm finding that coffee works great too (I was never a coffee drinker before).  Also I started taking a vitamin called "alive" for women and it's great, I've really noticed a difference.  I got it at wal-mart.  Great job on 9 days!

This may help drink just half after a meal or with anything on your stomache if it feels ok drink the rest as needed

I'm SO happy for you. I just sent an email a few minutes ago because I was wondering how you were. Congrats on 9 days and just my opinion, go ahead and try one and see how it works for you. It made me jittery but I know of others who swear by it. Won't hurt to try.

Give yourself a HUGE pat on the back, your doing amazing!!

Hi Tavia - I'll go against the grain on this one, they didn't do anything for me. Tried them all and they all stink. The B complex vitamin is important if you don't have any, grab a bottle. Double up the first few days. Stink like crap, but do work. I bought Hydroxycut, it's a diet supplement available at Walgreens. Take one in the morning, it's a energy booster and fat burner, advertised on TV. That helps with your appetite too, stimulates your metabolism. Along with a multi-vit, B complex, vit C, L Tyrosine (tough to find, but is at Whole Foods) every morning, my energy came back in a big way after day 10.

Congrats on day 9! You will see big gains in the days ahead.

Yes they work really well I've used them in almost daily before when I did constructio. B12 is the boost in it and it doesn't make u crash like a sugar rush if your already taking vitamins with b12 or vitamin drinks just be carefully not to take to much u will be to jittery
