What Are The Energy Supplements You’ve Tried?
Saturday, May 29th, 2010I don’t think I would’ve tried an energy pill if my brother didn’t suggest it. He loved one of the brands – he says it changed his life. Up until he started taking these energy pills, he slept all the time – the few hours he was awake, he’d barely be conscious. The day he started taking energy boosters, his life got back into order pretty fast – he was proud of himself and his new productivity. A friend of mine suggested it may be the placebo effect that made it seem that the energy pill was working – but I figured I’d give it a shot anyway. I read before about side effects for a few brands of energy pills. I did read that some people who used energy pills had sleeping problems, or they’d get all jittery and be uncomfortable through the day – but I wasn’t afraid. If these energy pills happened to work nearly as good for me as they worked for my brother – I’d be blown away! I started out the use with the pills from my brother’s bottle.
When I began to take the pills, my plan was to stay awake and energized through the work day. I work a lot of hours, and it’s somewhat repetitive. After I’ve been hanging around a cubicle for such a long time, I slow down and my work quality goes down. My job duties involve my doing a set amount of work every day – the quicker I work, the faster I get out. The first few days I took my brother’s pills, I finished a week’s worth of work in only four days! I spent Friday at the beach.
By week two, the energy kept coming – I used my time more and more efficiently than my colleagues did! This was great and terrible… when my boss saw how fast I was working, he started giving me more stuff to do. I quickly accepted the added work – and by the end of the third week I got a raise! My colleagues began to ask how I got my energy at work – I was a little nervous to tell them my secret, but I let it out eventually. Maybe it is to be expected, but the people I told just giggled when I named the energy pill as the culprit behind the ethic.
As of this article, I haven’t experienced any side-effect (other than the added energy). I haven’t even experienced insomnia, which is something I usually have even when I’m not taking medication. I asked my brother about side-effects he’s noticed, and so far he’s also without – which is great! I think any apnea that could be there is lessened due to our intense workout schedule – playing sports and working out saps even the most powerful energy. I may try to bring my girlfriend into the whole energy-pill thing.
This pill is too wonderful for me to not suggest to the people I like – and I feel I did my share of product-research before pushing it onto my friends. You can never know for sure, but I’m definitely praying that in a year I’ll still be having this sort of success with this pill. If I start noticing anything less than greatness from this pill (i.e. jitters, nausea), I’ll be sure to post a follow-up article.
