Yes!. As a matter of fact there was a female high school soccer player here in Socal (Orange County) who died as a result of overdose from overuse of energy pills and rubs!.
The median lethal dose (LD50) given orally, is 192 milligrams per kilogram in rats!.[2] The LD50 of caffeine in humans is dependent on weight and individual sensitivity and estimated to be about 150 to 200 milligrams per kilogram of body mass, roughly 80 to 100 cups of coffee for an average adult taken within a limited time frame that is dependent on half-life!. Though achieving lethal dose with caffeine would be exceptionally difficult with regular coffee, there have been reported deaths from overdosing on caffeine pills, with serious symptoms of overdose requiring hospitalization occurring from as little as 2 grams of caffeine!.[75][76][77][78] Death typically occurs due to ventricular fibrillation brought about by effects of caffeine on the cardiovascular system!.
Treatment of severe caffeine intoxication is generally supportive, providing treatment of the immediate symptoms, but if the patient has very high serum levels of caffeine then peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, or hemofiltration may be required!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, although it takes an insane amount of caffeine unless you bought those pure caffeine party pills and took like a whole bottle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
