I know this is a strange request. I brought a supply with me from the USA and they really really help when driving. Does anyone know where I can pick up a bottle? I bought a bottle of Nodoz, but any other company would do.

thanks in advance....holiday season coming...might get stuck for hours on the highway....

1 no doze is about the same as 1-2 cups of coffee. Just get a thermos.

I think what you're asking about here may be too close to 'pilaphone' for many, so don't be too forward asking the K-folk...

How about slamming back a couple of 'bacchus-uh' from the FamilyMart? Work fine for me when I drive xcountry at night....

uh hmmm....ok well baccush actually does have about 60mp of caffeine per bottle so...i might have to go with that. You see the thing about coffee is that it gives me heart burn while taking the caffeine pills doesn't

thanks for the input so far........

The other option is on base, make friends with a GI. (they also have red bull).


Wait a sec the other day in namdamun I saw some nodoze in the underground blackmarket, the one near the centre not the near the old gate

Wow! Then I guess I am heading up to Seoul then. Thanks alot!

I went to a couple of doctors about this.... (I need them for my sport).

Both doctors knew what I meant but didn't know a thing about prescribing them. They looked it up in a giant book and came up with a few options. However, they are suppossed to only be prescribed to specific jobs and further, they aren't straight caffeine -- they also contain a lot of other "stuff". So I passed.

So I got some from a friend on base. Last trip to Canada I loaded up at the grocery store.....

So no luck buying off base.

So they are not available on base? I hope to go to nam-dae-mun and find like...10 bottles.....I hate having to think about getting something like this.
My wife and I love to take long drives on the weekends, and....well it is nice for a quick pick me up on a monday. Of course not all the time....


thanks for the replies

Oh ok thanks! Good to know that they are actually here. One person
saw them in Nam-dae-mun. Usually what is on base can be found in those black market shops. I have my fingers crossed!

c'mon. Middle school chem lab, remember? Brew up some meth, d00d.

Yeah, for driving, remember coffee makes ya gotta stop and pee a lot.

Uh I was just reading another thread on costco and wanted to know if anyone has seen any caffeine pills there.

LOL this is turning into a caffeine pill week for me! I keep hoping that UErica will send me a pm telling where I can buy some...LOL

[rocketdolphin]

I'm coming to SK in a month or so (or I hope I'm coming over). If you still can't find some, email me and I'll try to bring some.

[logan2003]

Hmm...can you bring alot? I would pay for the bottles and more for your trouble. I will pm you i know packing can be tough and space can be at a premium. I will send you a pm....

thanks alot for the offer!!
