Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Paraxanthin is a metabolite of coffee. Its generally available OTC in the form of medicine. This is used to increase wakefullness and occasionally people abuse it as a stimulant. It doesnt have any major side-effect but if taken in excess dosage can cause caffeine intoxication like anxiety, restlessness, sleeplessness, irritability, tachycardia and perspiration. Its not medically indicated as such.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
