Redline.

Well, I told a few people that I'd be looking for Redline, and I'd try it and write up my thoughts about it and what it does.

My thought right now: failure. It's supposed to make you hyper off the walls, or else really jittery... I am neither.

I went to bed at 4am, woke up at 10am. Had a bowl of Fruity Pebbles (lol) so I wouldn't take Redline on an empty stomach, because it'll make you nauseous. The salesperson at GNC told me to start by taking 1/4 to 1/2 of the can a day at first to figure out my tolerance. So I drank half the can.

Half an hour later, I feel more awake. Barely. I could have gotten the same high if I drank my daily morning coffee. I start cleaning. I realize I'm not getting any sort of high at all, so I come back and drink more. I clean some more. (I'm unpacking from a move, and I'm also OCD clean-freak person, so this is normal for me) Then I come back and finish off the can.

The only thing I notice is that my tummy feels weird, a little rumbly, just like when I have coffee. I go to the bathroom and come back. I feel pretty awake, but not any sort of awake like you'd think you should get with an energy drink, especially one that is supposed to affect you a lot harder than other drinks. Then I started getting really hungry, so I ate a bowl of soup.

I've been up 7 hours now, and have eaten 3 small meals already - the cereal, the soup, and I just now had a tiny square of pineapple upside-down cake with lite whipped cream. I usually am not this truly ravenous (only when my bulimic mind kicks in and I eat even though I'm not hungry)

I have three cans left. I'll continue using them, because I paid $10 for the pack and I"ll be damned if I'll waste it. If there is a change during any of the rest of the cans, I'll let you know.
