Are you addicted to caffeine?
    #7896329 - 01/18/08 07:49 AM (16 years, 14 days ago)

In any forms, chocolate, coffee, energy drinks, cocaine, soda?
I think my body is trying to tell me to stop, but I really don't think I can. I absolutely must have espresso, a few pulls from my bong lover, and 2 Ultram (tramadol), everyday at lunch. That's my cocktail, and I'm sticking to it. I just think my lymph nodes and skin are pretty much making me quit...coffee anyway.

If you are a frequent caffeine consumer, are you suffering any ill side effects?

Cocaine doesn't contain caffeine unless your dealer puts it in there as a cut.

Dehydration can be a mean side effect. Make sure to drink at least half your body weight in ounces of clean water each day. Even more so if you take in coffees and sodas.

Yes, I'm def. alert, get great workouts, and get a lot done, it's just that something funky is going on w/ my body, and I think I need to lay off it for a while--which sucks, it's a freakin' part of my life.

Yes, he used to. I haven't done it in a while, however.

No, I quit caffeine about six months ago.

I dabbled in some green tea last week and got nauseous and super-shaky and jittery. So that settles it. Caffeine is not for me.

I believe the caffine levels in tea goes as follows (from high to low):
black
green
white


funny that white is my favorite

No, I don't even feel the effects of caffeine when I drink a litre of Energy Drink. I do however get awful depressing comedown from it. :/

Caffeine has become more my drug of choice lately.

I make strong cups of coffee, and when I drink too much of it I almost feel my liver trying to purge it and then I crash and want to sleep...usually 20 minutes before I'm stepping out the door for work.

I would say I have a moderate tolerance to caffeine, i just overdo it.

The only other side effect is that I get extremely hyper and giddy, and provide at least an hour of good entertainment for my roomate.

I gave up caffeine ages ago.
Ever since then, I haven't been nervous, must less irritable, and I'm able to go to sleep any time I want.
I highly recommend it to everyone.

My dad told me this story of how he used to drink 8 or 9 cups a day at work, and when he decided to stop he actually had withdrawl symptoms like sweats, terrible headaches, other stuff along with cravings. Caffeine IS a hell of a drug.

I usually only have 2 cups at most, but its really strong. I haven't experienced withdrawl symptoms, because I can go without it for days. Fortunatly its a habit I can pick up and drop, but not everyone is like that.

i'm a recovering redbull addict.

I hardly dabbled in caffeine before... coffee smells good but tastes bitter... most soda tastes like chemicals to me. Coke, Pepsi, Dr Pepper- all taste like a lab experiment. (except when I went to the UK and Caribbean. Then it actually tasted good!) the only soda I liked was cream soda, and I don't even think that has caffeine in it.

I used to have to get up really early to go to work, so I drank a redbull every morning and lunch. It got to the point where the small ones didn't do anything for me, so I had to step up to the 12 ouncers. I had a $7/day habit going.

then I got a new job with a shift that allowed me to sleep in my natural rhythm, so I stopped using, as I didn't "need" it.

Then one night I wasn't able to sleep well and grabbed one on my way to work. I had forgotten how good it tastes. so I started drinking them everyday, even though I didn't NEED the extra energy.

Then I saw a doctor about some other health issues and was told absolutely no more redbull. (as well as basically everything else on the face of the earth that tastes really good but is bad for you)

I've been 2 weeks clean.

I hope I can do it.

i used to drink a 12pack of redbull every day.

i asked my neurologist exactly how bad that really was on my body. he laughed and said it probably wouldn't hurt anything but my wallet.

i stopped doing all that though, cause it wasn't getting me anywhere. caffeine has quite a tolerance factor. eventually i was drinking redbulls and going to sleep. i mostly drink a lot of sodas now.

Accustomed, not addicted.

The only side effect I get is headaches from dehydration if I don't get enough water.
