I use beta alanine, but it's not like caffeine where it has an immediate effect. It is more like creatine, in that you have to increase blood levels over time.

Take 4g twice a day, and eventually it will kick it.

It is not as good as creatine for high weight/low rep, but is really good for lighter weights and especially for HIIT.
