I drink coffee every morning & take maca. I don't feel that. I'm not sure that's from maca because maca gives you energy. And not the same kind of energy that coffee and energy drinks do. It's a sustained energy, it makes you feel wide awake. I mean, I know people have different reactions to things, but I haven't heard of someone feeling like this from maca.

But you need to drink more water. Half your body weight in ounces is standard (so if you weigh 120 lbs, drink 60oz of water a day). But since you're taking herbs, which are processed by your liver, you need to drink even more than that. Keep taking the maca in the morning, shoot for around 10am. And for the next two days, drink 80% of your body weight in ounces of water. If you start drinking now, you'll be able to feel the difference by tonight. You'll feel a lot better. I keep a liter bottle and just keep filling that up. It makes it easier. I know I'm supposed to drink 4 of those a day, so I just do it one at a time.

And maca takes a few days before you can start feeling it. 4-5 days sometimes, especially if you're dehydrated.
