You’re dependent on caffeine, you get withdrawal symptoms if you have none.
This is why I use cocaine and Adderall instead.
Caffeine gives me FAR worse withdrawal symptoms than my prescription Adderall. Caffeine also just really fucks me up in general, I think I have a caffeine sensitivity or something or maybe it’s just the GAD I have. The worst part is I really like caffeinated drinks and I convince myself “the caffeine won’t be bad” and chug a monster or coffee or something, then I feel extremely high stress like I’m on the verge of a stroke for the next few hours lol
Also caffeine destroys my sleep more than my brain alone already does
Couldn’t agree more. Caffeine—and stimulants in general—give me bad anxiety. Same symptoms as you.
Don’t actually use coke and Adderall to stay awake, kids; I was just being sarcastic.
How’s the court cases coming Donnie?
Typical ADHD reaction.
I’m in this photo and I don’t like it 😂
2 hours? That sounds marvelous! Right now I get all caffeinated and then tether myself to a headset for 8 hours lol
That’s why I made my work buy me a wireless headset.
That way when I’m locked in a 5 hour call for something I have no input on or care about I can at least get up and make myself a few cups of coffee
locked in a 5 hour call for something I have no input on or care about
You are living my nightmare.
I’m living myown nightmare
Do you ever have to note or recall information afterwards? Because for me it wouldn’t be the sitting in a call for 5 hours part that would be the problem, it would be someone asking me to tell them anything that happened in it that would be the problem. I couldn’t even tell you who was in it
So you’re telling me there’s are jobs where i don’t have to do anything for 5 hours at a time?
No there are jobs that have 5 hour meetings while you watch your backlog pile up an extra 5 hours
Ah, i understand the pain now.
Caffeine is fine as long as you stretch often to keep arteries open, and sleep 12 hours a day.
🤨
🗿
4 hrs mostly, 6 hrs max.
Sleep is for the dead, permanently disabled, or “retired”.
My pending heart attack is looking real fucking relaxing. Hopefully permanent.
Isn’t 12 hrs a bit overkill?
You’re making your heart work harder. You also need to rest harder as a result, to avoid accumulating damage. There is a lot of interpersonal variance, though, with different bodies and genetics.
300mg is a lot of caffeine, mind you.
300mg is one can
lmao
My understanding is that caffeine doesn’t give you energy but instead blocks the sense of tiredness.
Basically carbs and fat give you energy, if we’re talking the literal term. I think protein does too but it’s less.
But stimulants do unlock mental resources. I believe caffeine induces a fight or flight state (what I’ve heard; haven’t studied this), one aspect of which is the body decides to make more energy available at the cost of faster breakdown.
Dopaminergic stimulants give your body the sense it’s pursuing something important. So the same zap of released resources called “motivation” that you’d get if you suddenly realized your favorite person in the world is outside, you can also get by taking adderall or cocaine.
Only if you take it once though. If you drink coffe regularly, you only get withdrawal symptoms if you have none instead. Coffeine has no stimulating effect if taken regularly.
It does though. I’ve used caffeine stably for decades and it still has a stimulant effect in the morning.
I don’t need you calling out my 2:00 AM Tuesday ritual.
I see your caffeine and raise with amphetamines.
For the ADHD crowd this is often literally how it works.
No stimulants? My restless leg will shake this whole building down. With stimulants? I can sit there at my desk, happy as a clam.

Honestly for the best. Without my trifecta of amph+caffeine+nicotine (vape ofc smoking is eww and unhealthy) I don’t think I’d bother getting out of bed but that’s just an ADHD moment.
Weightloss pills!
it’s interesting seeing a bunch of anxious people go exacerbate anxiety with caffeine. so many fuckin annoying encounters
Yeah they really should be on Adderall like a fucking adult.
Adderall is so much more chill than caffeine
Or just…don’t,?
Ffs grow up and find some self control people.
You just put so many psychiatrists out of business
The amount of people addicted to caffeine who don’t even know it is crazy high.
The costs of withdrawing for some are higher than others, so for these people quitting isn’t just a day or two of headaches, and possibly their life doesn’t afford them the luxury of going through the pain and low productivity
Many factors play into it rather than just low self control, in case you’re wondering why you got down voted.
Self control is a road to many abilities, some of which are considered unnatural, such as not drinking coffee. My personal favorite is to connect to points in space time together, to create a hole to crawl from one side to the other, for example, to connect the university of Tubingen and Boulogne-sur-Mer.
