Pre-workout doesn't work on me?

[Andkre]

I haven't taken body building very seriously until this year, I have lost 35lb's and hope to lose atleast 15 more. My brother introduced me to lifting years ago when I was in middle school I saw all the supplements he took and now that I'm 17 I have started taking more vitamins, and pre workouts.
I have taken all kinds of preworkouts now....I never get energy or endurance from pre workouts.

The one preworkout that I currently take is 1 M.R Vortex i have gotten the best results from it however, I have to take two scoops and I can still barely feel it. It also gives me a terrible stomach ache for about half an hour, but I understand that is common.

I take pre workout on an empty stomach ( I have tried on a full stomach before )
Only thing I can think of is as a child about 10 years ago I drank a lot of soda, like close to two liters a week. However I quit about 5 years ago and haven't touched a soda since.

I also notice a lot of pills don't work on me either, I get migraines frequently and have tried probably 15 different types of pills and only one of those pills work on me.

Congrats on weight loss. Since you are under 18 a company rep won't be able to recommend you a preworkout since you are a minor. You have built up a tolerance to stimulants is why it doesn't hit you hard anymore.

Pretty much this.

Congratulations on the weight loss. This isn't what you want to hear but find a lot of joy in being your age. Lots of folks my age spend a bunch of money to try (and I say Try) and have your recovery ability, testosterone levels, and a bright future of increasing gains. Get your diet and lifting form spot on....you will find more gains doing that than any supplement. Good luck and have fun!

You need to wash out of all stimulants, including any coffee, tea, soda, etc that you may be drinking. And then stay off of the PWOs. They're not needed at your age.
