Lately, HRX doesn’t seem to be having the same stimulant effect on me that it used to have - before, when I took the morning dose, I simply had to jump out of bed w/in 15 minutes of taking it ('cause I felt so energized - although the peristalsis meant I’d need to get up pretty soon anyway). Now, not really. So, I figure it’s time for a full two weeks off to hit the reset button.
My question is, what stimulants I can take that work through different pathways? I don’t want to go completely cold turkey on all stimulants/thermogenics, mostly because that would mean spending the next two weeks in a coma. On the other hand, if I just replace HRX w/ something that works in the same way, I’m not going to get any benefit from stopping the HRX.

I find that Spike has a completely different effect on me than HRX. I used the old Spike to prevent comatose stagnation.
I have also done RED KAT with coffee or better still; taken with a caffeinated energy drink with amino acids in it.

Good points. I often take two Spike with four BCAA’s and that will definitely get you out of bed.
Thanks, Spike would definitely do it. It looks like the only overlap is the caffeine and I think my body probably doesn’t notice that either way anymore.
