I'm guessing it's the old pervy customer
I'm a pharmacologist.
But forget about that. If you need to sleep, unless you are a soldier at war or a commercial driver with too much work on, taking drugs to stay awake is not risk/benefit wise.
You are simply delaying doze-off. The longer you delay the greater the need.
There is no such thing as a pharmacological perpetual motion machine.
That said, stimulants can be fun. But if you have heart problems, are overweight or unfit, or old, don't. Cardiac arrhythmias may arise and kill you.

I used to take 3 tablets on a Sunday morning when I played football. A pretty good hangover cure, and, I was still buzzing by the time I got back to the pub at lunchtime.
Fast forward about 20 years, I had a cardiac arrest that was very close to being the end of me.
My consultant told me, when the Docs found what the problem was, to never, ever take pro plus, Red Bull etc, speed or cocaine( heroin was fine,btw)
As a youngster I had tried speed, I didn’t like the come down, I had had nova cocaine as a pre- med for a nose job, told not to sniff, but, you know, I was young and stupid, so, sniff away.
I think I may have been pretty lucky to still be here now.

Pro plus got me through O and A levels plus Saturday and Sunday football matches back in the early 80s.
I used to take my Ventolin inhaler before matches too. Luckily they didn't do dope testing those days.

After having a queasy stomach most of the afternoon, I made it home for my usual 6pm dump (God knows why I can't go in the morning like most of the country's bums). Instead of logs it was one big cow pat of what looked like chicken masala.Don't let it happen to YOU

Not even a hint of my usual iron tablets darkening my bum tea. So after a couple of Pro Plus this morning, I think it would be best to throw the packet in a drawer and forget they're there for a fair while.Enough information.
Euuuurrrrrggggghhhhh!!

Haven’t used it since the early 90s. There used to be a shop on Queens Road in around 1994 that sold gym supplements. They sold me some ephedrine (not pseudo, the real thing). In hindsight absolutely no idea if that was legal then but that was amazing for an all-nighter whether writing essays or clubbing. I was very sporty in those days and I remember feeling invincible.

Thanks for that, now I wish I was dead.After having a queasy stomach most of the afternoon, I made it home for my usual 6pm dump (God knows why I can't go in the morning like most of the country's bums). Instead of logs it was one big cow pat of what looked like chicken masala.

I’ll bear that in mind the next time i’m strolling down George St in Hove to Truffles and the obese hairy Romanian women serves me …
Is Treacle, on Church Road in the same parade as the Seafield pub, still there? I liked that place

I used to take Pro Plus when I had to attend a boring lecture in an afternoon. They kept me awake . I never had any side effects.

Still a good scar, but otherwise healed, funny while we're on this topic, a man replied very aggressively to one of my tweets, with the username 'Mr. Gaping Arsehole' this morning, which was a nice start to the day.It's definitely the Pro Plus. I have a severe case of ring sting this morning.

It was an attempt at a (crap) joke. I guess humour doesn't always translate in writing. Apologies if I offended you. Or have I been whooshed?WTF? I took two this morning for the first time in my life. Am I tempted to take anymore today? NO! I feel back to normal with no comedown of any sort. Take any tomorrow? Probably not.
It's Pro Plus, not crack cocaine.

What I will say is that I am on the waiting list for a cardio ablation because of Supraventricular Tachycardia. First hit me just after uni when I was working AFDs in a bar and had used pro plus to get through dissertation time and late night's / early mornings. Years later and even completely avoiding caffeine (even chocolate, / coca cola) since 2010 and I still get random SVT attacks.
I'd use with caution, short term if needed. But maybe I had an underlying issue that only showed up at that age, who knows. I wouldn't recommend anything that puts the heart into overdrive though.
