If you haven't taken the caffeine redpill yet, what are you even doing with your life? Coffee is a meme.

There's no inherent value in living a long life. Especially if that life is a poor one.
Life to the max. Accomplish your dreams. Explode your heart at age 30. Take the caffeine pill.

Tea and coffee have more psychoactive compounds than just the caffeine, so it might not feel the same to take caffeine pills.

Coffee tastes good anyway, so even if it didn't have caffeine, I'd still drink it for the flavor.

Caffeine has minimal effects at dopamine receptors and negligible effects at serotonin receptors (meth actives serotonin and dopamine, regular amphetamines dopamine) so you would have such an excess produced of adrenaline (which it IS receptor selective for) that you would be very, very sick long before you got very high.

It's really amazing how much of a stigma there is to taking a pill for caffeine, yet no one bats an eye at downing a quad-shot blonde roast every morning. I've been taking caffeine pills for close to a year now and the reaction is always the same. People saying things like "Woah man you have a problem."

I carefully monitor my caffeine intake way closer than the average coffee drinker and routinely take tolerance breaks. I do love coffee but I just couldn't stand drinking low quality sludge just because I was tired. Might as well just cut out the middle man and only consume the compound that I want.

It could just be the amount of caffeine. Seems like if I have more than 100mg at a time it can randomly trigger a migraine.

Kind of makes sense considering how much of a problem prescription pills have become, and they're easier to abuse than just drinking coffee, but yeah it doesn't matter as long as you're using them responsibly.

These are for truck drivers that need to finish a route or lose their paycheck and don't mind suffering. These can cause heart racing, palpitations, anxiety, headache ranging from nagging to severe enough to hinder vision, dehydration, acid reflux and/or heartburn.

Coffee has 150-300mg of caffeine, energy drinks 80-200mg. Regular soda has 20-50mg. 400mg of undiluted caffeine will not be pleasant even to the caffeine tolerant, and increasing this dose only increases suffering.

It's an appetite suppressant, there's minor debatable benefit some people say of your body producing more heat and burning like 50 extra calories per day but it's not the main point. Start with a low dose and see how your body reacts since you're basically 'abusing' stimulants to reduce appetite.

I followed this guide. Ate healthy, and around a 500 calorie deficit and lost around 35lbs. It has the normal effect of waking you up like coffee but there are also some other effects. Time seemed to go by quickly, my work day flew by and I never got tired during workouts. It also suppresses appetite very effectively I was almost never hungry. Useful for if you need to readjust your palate or appetite in general. It makes it easy to follow a diet to the t. You have to make sure you drink plenty of water though, I tended to shoot for 3 liters a day.

I got the same shit. It's literally just a pill that contains the same, or slightly less caffeine than a normal cup of coffee. Yet I look crazy taking one pill while my coworkers are downing their 5th cup of coffee.
What the fuck.

>there are no downsides
ok the downsides are:
-Lots of us actually enjoy the taste
-Having an aesthetic and comfy morning ritual like preparing and drinking coffee injects a dose of leisure into everyday life, and primes you for your day
-Taking it in pill form removes every illusion of not having an addiction. coffee = nice morning drink with caffeine perk. pills = degenerate pill popper just trying to force themselves through their day.


I honestly don't understand how some people don't get the ritualistic appeal of coffee.

That's why I try to avoid having a cup as soon as I wake up. But if you wait a few hours, it seems to make the effects more noticeable too and you don't need as much, I guess because you wake up naturally and give yourself a bit of time without the caffeine first.
