Hello everyone!
I don't know it this goes here or in the Who's Got It section, since it could be considered a supplement not a med I have put it here.
The thing is I'm looking for a extended release caffeine pills, I know they are sold in local pharmacies but are a bit expensive in my opinion. I'm taking caffeine pills but I would like the effect to last longer to feel active during the day, does anyone know any source where to buy it online? and also, if tried, what thinks about it.
Thanks in advance!!

I will tell you what I used in the past. It is my personal view I used the Sundown 200 mg SR caffeine release tabs. I found that the effect was lasting for 9-10 hours initially but it lasted for 6-7 hour as well on prolonged use. And you can find it on places like Amazone as well. And buy it on line easy. I as not sure if they are the best but they work good with me.

What are the effects of extended release caffeine? Honestly, didn't know it existed. Thank you, Rumor

The effects are the same of conventional caffeine, increase of alertness and mental energy mainly. The difference between taking a coffee and time release caffeine is that once you take a coffee you reach a peak of caffeine in your body and then it starts decreasing, in contrast to time release pills where the caffeine in your organism remains constant for an interval of time. For example I was taking 300 mg pills of extended released caffeine, these pills effects last 6 hours, that means that every hour 50 mg are released, the amount of caffeine in the body remains around 50 mg for 6 hours. It's cheaper than coffee, the effects last longer and is hard to suffer overdose (anxiety for example).
Hope it helps you.

These would be great starting about 12:00 pm, that's when my motor starts running down. Do they keep you at a fairly level state, can you feel the effect through the 6 or so hours? Seems like an awfully good idea...

I've been taken them for keeping me active for long boring periods of time, mostly at classes or when the work is monotonous. It works great and in my case the effects lasts more than 6 hours, the range is not exactly 6 hours, I'm inclined to think that is always a bit longer than 6 hours, so take care about the timing, not a pleasant feeling having caffeine in blood when going to sleep  . I've taking the 300 mg pills, the 200 mg pills have not tried yet.
Early in the morning I prefer to use 200 mg caffeine not time release to wake me up, it also works fine but sometimes I start to feel down about 3 or 4 hours after.
