Why Can't I Get Wired Like Normal People?

Yesterday at work a co-worker gave me an energy drink called "Full Throttle." That was a mistake. I felt sort-of good for a while, then nauseated, then shaky, then irritable, then all out mentally ill.

I couldn't come down off this stuff for the life of me. I spent most of last night tossing and turning in bed, feeling strange and ill.

Hmm most of those look familiar except for taurine, carnitine fumarate, and guarana extract.

It's the stuff they don't mention on the label that you gotta worry about.

You don't really believe they put everything on there, do ya?
