        Controlling your dose

        When you titrate something, you’re controlling how much of something you add to get the desired effect. A sip of coffee is a very small amount of caffeine, you’ll slowly add caffeine to your system throughout the cup. A single caffeine pill is like drinking an entire cup in one swig.

      Yes! I tried caffeine pills once. Tiny and had me wired like mad, immediately. It was not a pleasant experience. I drink a lot of coffee and probably have some tolerance for caffeine, too. Could I split the pills into halves or quarters? No.

      There is a caffeine gum Ive been meaning to try called POWER gum. Havent tried it though.
