IF you buy caffeine pills, just be very careful about the exact amount you take.
Generally, they give you a higher dose of caffeine in a concentrated burst.
So over the course of a day, you might be getting the same hit, but if you're getting it in 2-3 pills, that's a lot for your system to cope with.

I'm not the best person to ask because although I have taken caffeine (or caffeine based) pills, I found out I was actually quite sensitive to it when I was in my 30s. The pills made me extremely nauseous. If I can equate it to drinking, it was the difference between slowly sipping a glass of wine and drinking the equivalent in shots - one is introduced to the body slowly, the other all in one go. It is the same AMOUNT of alcohol, but you will feel very different very quickly.

I'm not saying don't take them. I'm just saying maybe start on half tablets.
