"Highly recommended. With being a mom and sole provider for my children, my work schedule has consisted of working 6-7 days straight for the past 6 1/2 years. From the overwhelm of stress of working in the field of healthcare, in addition to multitasking a crazy, busy life being mom to three sons, I cannot express enough how thankful Vivarin has impacted my life. Between weight controls and working so much, there are no time outs for exercise. Especially with my currently enrolled in school pursuing my bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration. Vivarin has definitely helped me in every aspect to accomplish my goals."

"This is very effective. Sometimes, I only take half of one. Just remember to stop taking it about 6 hours before bedtime. Cheaper than energy drinks loaded with sugar. Easier on my tummy than coffee, and it doesn't stain my teeth like colas. Caffeine is a diuretic, so drink plenty of water to make you feel better all day."

"I took Vivarin almost every day for over 15 years, close to 21 years. I didn't realize that I was suffering from hypothyroidism. All I knew was that I had the normal energy that I was missing. I finally started taking 1/2 tablet because a whole tablet was causing my heart to flutter. Soon I was taking 1/4 of a tablet, and finally I had to quit taking them. After all those years, I am suffering with a damaged heart, heart arrhythmia (AFIB), tachycardia, and congestive heart failure. I have no blockages in my arteries, just a damaged heart and the baggage."

"I give Vivarin a seven for an OTC medication. I don't sleep well at all at night, and I usually average 3-4 hours. I stay in pain, so when my alarm goes off in the morning, it is much easier to put a tablet in my mouth along with my pain medication and reset the alarm for one hour later. When it goes off, I feel much better, for it has helped awaken me, and the methadone had started to work for the pain. It doesn't upset my stomach as much as the No Doz. Then later, if I want a cup of coffee and I have time to drink it, I can, but usually I don't have the time, and I have to pop another Vivarin to keep me going."

"I have been taking Vivarin, 200 mg since 1988, believe it or not, at least once a day, sometimes twice. I started using it when I was a truck driver in Germany, in the Army. I was driving night runs in a convoy and didn't know my way to the drop and was seriously nodding off on the autobahn and might have been killed. We pulled over at a rest stop, and one of my fellow truckers told me to 'take this.' I didn't know what it was and that sounds stupid, but I knew the guy and knew he wouldn't give me anything 'illegal' or something that might hurt me. Twenty minutes in, I'm rolling down the autobahn, completely awake and singing to my music! Over the years, I've used it mostly as a 'pre-workout' and, as I noted, taken it up to twice daily. Here we are, some 35 years later, and I use it as my 'morning coffee' as I don't drink coffee. No side effects except the typical 'caffeine headache' if I go a few days without any caffeine! Wonderful product!"

"Vivarin for my hypersomnia worked better than taking amphetamines for wakefulness."

"Very dry mouth, nausea, some foods I eat are too salty, can't think, overwhelmed, can't sleep."
