Advantages: fast working

Disadvantages: probably best not to rely on them instead of sleeping!

I'm not entirely sure if this is in the right place since its not strictly a medicine - i'm talking about Pro Plus - the caffiene tablets which relieve tiredness.

I don't drink tea or coffee at work (hygiene thing - i.e no-one ever washes up the cups or cleans the kitchen!), yet i'm often half asleep during the afternoon at work and while Big Brother has been on and i've been addicted to the live bits on E4 staying up till 2.30 every morning while having to get up at 6.30 has taken its toll. So I figured I'd try Pro Plus.

I was a little wary at first, telling myself that I just needed to go to bed earlier rather than take a stimulant, however I take the smallest dose - just one tablet (when you can take 2 an hour) and it really does work. No side effects not even the heart palpitations I sometimes get after I drink coffee and it really does work quickly.

I'm not going to recommend you take it all the time, if you have a real insomnia problem or something I should imagine seeing your doctor would be a better idea, but for those days when you just can't seem to get out of bed to go to work then Pro Plus is actually really good.

Or if you are one of the majority of workers who do drink coffee then probably better to do that instead!
