Equate Stay Awake Caffeine 200mg Tablets for Increased Energy and Mental Focus, 80 Count, Compare to Vivrin® Active Ingredient

I have been using this for years. It doesn't make me jittery or a nervous stomach like brand name tablets. This is my go to, to help me when I need a pick me up. I do have problems buying in store, they're out of stock more times than not. I ordered by mail this time, saves time %26 wasted gas.

Started these to cut down on sugary coffee and save money. It's helped tremendously. I take about 1.5 to start my day and it usually works better than coffee does. They're fairly small and very easy to split in half. The only gripe I have with them is the texture. Sometimes they hang onto my tongue when I try to swallow, a problem i've never had with any other pill or supplement.

Second job, graveyard shift. I have tried CVS and Walgreens brands and they don't last, keeping me alert for about 2-3 hours and can take up to 45 minutes to kick in. The Equate keeps me alert for between 4- 6 hours (one pill) and usually kicks in after 20 minutes. And cost $5 less than other brands.

Works great, just like Vivarin, at a much lower price. Not too strong, one tablet wont make you shaky and crazy, it just gives you a wake up call, like coffee, but i don't care for drinking coffee, so i take one tablet on mornings when I'm draggin and can't focus. They help within 15 minutes.

For those of us that LOVE the smell of coffee, but DON'T LIKE the taste, this is a great alternative to getting that shot of caffeine! I normally use this to offset the drowsy feeling I get with OTC meds, and it's cost-effective and calorie free! :-) Recommended!
