Re: stimulant other than coffee

October 6, 2006

Is it the coffee or the caffeine you can't tolerate? Have you tried green tea?

There's gobs of health benefits and it does have caffeine. I haven't used it as

I don't tolerate stimulants well, but others have said it gives them a slight

boost. Also if it's not the caffeine then have you checked out the caffeine

pills or some of the drinks at health food stores. There's also a soda called

jolt I think it is. One of the ginsengs is supposed to boost you up, but I

can't remember if it's the Asian or native one. You could check into it. Maybe

talk with an herbalist. There's bound to be one or two on this list. Try

Blake. He might have some thoughts.

Hi Edy,

I'm not positive, but I think I'm allergic to the actual coffee beans. I have

some caffeine

capsules, but it's hard to divide them, they might be too strong. I'm thinking

it might be

the caffeine as well. Besides how do you know if there isn't coffee in the

capsules too? Jolt

has more caffeine than coke, not only that there's a lot of sugar too. Thanks

for the

suggestions though. Hopefully, someone here found an alternative. Elyse

Rhodiola Rosea gives me some help in such cases. Regulates my energy.

Tea stimulates but crash comes afterwards.
