Caffeine pills instead of coffee?

Hi, I get enough sleep every night (7.5/8 hours) but I'm always so drowsy and can't concentrate in school. I have no idea why because like I said i get enough sleep and my eating is fine, but I don't like the taste of coffee and do not want to drink energy drinks because of the high sugar content, so is taking a 200mg caffeine pill in place of 1 or 2 cups of coffee safe?

Rather than relying on a chemical stimulant like caffeine, which will cause you to crash later in the day, I would go to your GP to find out why you're so drowsy x
OP.. caffeine pills do make you addicted to them in one view, as I for one consume caffeine pills for temporary relief & a boost in energy + concentration levels. Don't get me wrong, I find caffeine pills very beneficial, especially from perspective for my own wellbeing. But I advise you not to consume them at first for your drowsiness, you must consult your doctor for your medical condition first. Caffeine pills, I find - for me are highly addictive.
I wouldn't start taking them.This may not be the same for you, but I know someone who was also tired all the time, and it turns out they weren't getting enough iron. But don't take my word for it, get some professional advice
