Brief Answer:
caffeine jitters

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are concerned about still being jittery after drinking caffeine last night. The length of time needed to metabolize the caffeine will depend on the amount of caffeine you took in. Some high energy drinks and supplements have huge amounts of caffeine and may take up to 1 day to metabolize. A regular cup of coffee would only last about 3-4 hours at the most. To help remove the extra caffeine drink plenty of fluids to help clear your system.

Brief Answer:
Hydroxycut also has stimulant ingredients

Detailed Answer:
Within the hydroxycut there is also ingredients that are very similar to decongestants which act like adrenalin. These ingredients will also make you feel jittery and reduce your appetite. This may also be in your system for up to 24 hours. The best way again to help rid your body of its effects is drink plenty of fluids.

Brief Answer:
Numbness will resolve once all stimulant out of your system

Detailed Answer:
The numbness is all related to the extra stimulation you are getting from the caffeine and Adrenalin. That will resolve once you have metabolized all that extra chemicals
