Wonder if I can claim that disorder and get some of y'all's money.....

I don't think it's any secret that caffeine can cause withdrawal symptoms. I got a day without a Dr Pepper and get a headache by mid afternoon. I also know if I avoided Dr Pepper for a week or so it would go away and I would probably sleep much better.

My caffeine intake is on the high abnormal side, ridiculously high....

Ehhhh who cares, Now pour me another cup of coffee.

This.

If you start:
sleeping at irregular times

,
noticing your heart beat

,

or if your hands start shaking

,

you have had too much caffeine.

I'm a coffee freak. By the time I leave the house I finish a pot. When I get to work I drink a few more cups. Weekends same thing. I love it and will never give it up.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts on the topic.

You folks are amateurs.

For about two years I've purchased in bulk and weigh it out to add to drinks. This lets me set the level of intake depending on my needs and drink the same amount of liquids every day.

Scale is $20.00 and pure caffeine is $12.00

75mg to 200mg a day is what I run normally depending on how tired I feel.

300mg is a rough day.

I stop any caffeine intake after 5pm.

I dose a bit at 8. Then 10am 2pm and 4pm I see what I need.

I can't ever see taking more than 300mg a day 600mg would be a limit.

Warning 100g of caffeine can kill you 10x over as overdose for adults requires roughly 10 grams of caffeine.

You have ADHD most likely if a stimulant calms you down.

Probably, doctors cant figure out why my blood pressure is so low, coffee an dgad most likely. Once had a nurse call a second one over to double check her with another cuff. Said it was low enough i should be dying. Doctors too

I rarely suggest it....but have you tried moderating your intake by alternating with meth?

Ill stay addicted to caffeine, otherwise I'd be addicted to crack.

From OP link: "Juliano advises that caffeine consumption should be limited to no more than 400 mg per day or the equivalent of about two to three 8-oz cups of coffee for healthy adults."

I am way above that by 9am, but I stop after that - no more the rest of the day.


I can't believe the volume you are and did drink! At 15 20oz cups a day I would spend more time hitting the head than anything else.
