im addicted to caffeine

it started with the 5 hour powers. i went to drinking one when needed to drinking 2-3 a day. i then switched to monsters and red bulls. i would drink on average of about 3-5 24oz a day. i then switched to coffee for about 6 months and was drinking at least 12 cups a day on to top of random energy drinks. coffee got old cause i would have to wait around for it. now im drinking mountain dew by the 2 liter. they have a sale where its only 1.00 so i buy a few at a time. im on my second 2 liter and its only 12:30.

I used to drink monsters a bit, but I never really felt addicted to them. I just loved the taste. and I didn't really find they made me more energetic at all.
It seems like none of those energy drinks or supplements make a noticeable difference in my energy level, even though I know it has to, because it's caffeine.

That is indeed a kidney stone. my dad's girlfriend drinks soda like a fucking suv drinks gas and she's had a few quite recently...
ween yourself off the soda or your going to have a killer headache. maybe like drink some MD, drink some water, titrate your doses :P

You're not addicted until you start taking caffeine tablets/powder and you're taking upwards a gram a day. A gram is a bit much by then I get nauseous. Caffeine is mild, amphets are where it's at.

Better to be addicted to caffeine than speed.
Although the benefit of being an amphetamine addict is a normal day is 48 hours, not 15-16 like a regular person.
And you only have to sleep twice a week!

So glad those days are over.

I used to take a lot of benadryl and trip out for an hour or two before I fell asleep.

Diphenhydramine is used to relieve red, irritated, itchy, watery eyes; sneezing; and runny nose caused by hay fever, allergies, or the common cold.
so how is it that it makes you trip? im done with OTC highs so this is strictly out of curiosity.

I just threw up a little. That is disgusting. Yeah, I think it's a good idea to switch to water. At least get your caffeine from tea, coffee (I know you don't want to wait around for it), pills or something like that. Drinking that much soda is disgusting. I used to slam Mountain Dew all the time. One day I looked at the table and saw all the empty cans. I realized how terrible it was and I haven't had any soda in over 18 months.

When you are awake for a few days on speed and then take benadryl to go to sleep, it makes for a rather trippy/surreal experience.

I grew up in a house with just myself and my father, and he LOVED Pepsi. All I ever really drank was Pepsi haha. Now, I feel no effects from caffeine whatsoever. Could drink a gallon of coffee before bed and sleep like a baby.
Though I did OD on caffeine once, by eating a shitload of caffeine candies to try and see if I could feel it, but ended up just barfing.

The Bennadryl (sp? dc...) gets you high as fuck. PM me if you want info about this, I don't want to accidentally break any rules or anything. But that caffene thing kind of sounds like its a problem. Why do you drink so much? Do you just get that tired throughout the day? I would start trying to lessen the amount of stuff your drinking (especially the MD, too much soda can be very bad... diabetes ect.). Find out whats more of a problem, the MD or the caffeine and work from there. I would limit yourself to two 2l bottles of MD per day. One in the first half of the day and one for the latter half and only if you feel like you need it. And if you do this make sure the only caf your getting is coming from the MD. NO MD AND COFFEE. Limit it to just MD so your weening off the caf and the MD at the same time.

That is absolutely fucking disgusting. How can you drink MD at all, nevermind like 6 liters a day. Do you have any idea how much sugar is in that shit?
