Ideally, you would like to find the optimum amount of caffeine such that you only need to take a single dose at 4:00. If you are lucky, this might be all you need to get you through the rest of the day. I like the way I feel using coffee rather than caffeine pills. However, I always carry around with me a few pills just in case.

(It's low preparation stuff, but when I went off stims altogether a few weeks ago, I had to eat dinner at 3:30 p.m. in order to ensure that I would actually have the energy to consume food.)I am making my pot of coffee now.

Too much caffeine for some people can produce a "paradoxical" loss of energy, brain fog, and sleepiness. You actually should experiment with low dosages first and work your way on up. Try 1/2 to one cup to start with. If after a 1/2 hour you feel nothing, then take more. Don't be reluctant to experiment with caffeine as you have with Provigil.
