      Caffeine and WILD.

      Ok, I have a bunch of caffeine pills before me. 200mg each. I'm gonna take one tonight, while I'll try wild. On the box, it says 1 pill = 1 cap of coffee. Anybody experimeted with it before?
      How much should I take?

      5 pills? Lol. I'm thinking of taking half a pill, and let placebo effect do the 2nd half

      im immune to caffeine unfortunately so i dont really know what caffeine would do for WILD, but i know that when i drink a buncha red bull before i try to fall asleep it works wonders...especially if i wasnt tired to begin with ;p

      Don't mean to stray off the topic, but is red bull a "hyper" drink?


      Are we dreaming?

      I dont understand why you dont just drink half a coke or something similar...that should work just as well.

      Ok, I've done it. Half pill of caffeine kept me awake for at least 1.5 hours.
      I was laying on my bed, and felt onset of WILD. I said to myself "hang on, here it comes". Unfortunately my stupid roommate was chatting on his computer, and banging on keyboard real hard... I couldnt concentrate on WILD.

      I felt general onset of wild, and felt my heart was beating so fast, it was about to jump from my chest... however, I didnt induce WILD...
      It lasted for some time, and then subsided. It wasnt caffeine.

      Next time I'll try even less then half pill.

      I had extreme dreams tho, which I'll post in lucid experiences...

      About Coke - this shit makes me pee every 20 min, or so, which is not acceptable, when i'm trying to lay motionless for a long time.

      Btw, I've noticed that melatonin before sleep, and 120 mg of caffeine after 4-5 hours of sleep has HUGE affect on dreams.

      Those things don't work on me.

      I couldn't swallow pills at the time so I'd stuff them inside granola bars.

      I took 10 pills one night before bed (because they suck and don't work). That's in additional to the 8 I had before throughout the course of the afternoon. What is that.. 2+ grams?

      I was up for only about a half hour/ hour more; it kind of felt weird; like on drugs (which.. technically, I was.) I fell asleep.

      In the morning, at about 7am, being awake naturally I believe, I had a very bad headache and walked upstairs and threw up in the bathroom.

      Then I felt better.

      Just thinking will keep me awake laying there for an hour and a half, which normally I give up or something happens that makes me move. If I took a pill I would never fall asleep.

      I try to stay away from caffeine because when the day comes that you need your rocket sauce you cant have a nasty resistence!

      4 hours of sleep due to homework and AP class in the morning... you pour that coffe knowing it will keep you boosted. Its a great feeling. Good thing i'm not mormon.


      Anyway, i wish i had a roomate. I wouldnt feel so alone then when i wild. It distracts me.
