Alerene is a ultra-safe mild stimulant which will keep the subject alert and functioning for a full day. Repeated doses can extend the period of alertness for up to two weeks. The extended alertness defers the usual effects of sleep deprivation (exhaustion, focus, hallucinations) until the dose(s) wear off. Side effects of the drug include a build-up of toxic byproducts which can cause the subject to become seriously ill or die under repeated doses. An extended period of rest and normal body functions will clear these toxins in a few days after ceasing the doses.
