I have a caffeine problem Anonymous Sat Mar 23 23:11:11 2019 No.12074005 [Reply] [Original]

I have a compulsive need to consume as much caffine as possible. I end up drinking 4-6 cups of strong black coffee within the first few hours of waking up. I feel like fiend and get head aches throughout the day when I go without coffee. I like strong black tea as well but it doesn't quite satiate the caffeine cravings. I am not quite sure but I think it may not be the healthiest lifestyle. What do you guys think ? Should I try to quit coffee or drink fewer cups ? help me anons

You should try going a while without it, maybe a week or two. If you're getting headaches it means you're having too much. 4-6 cups is a lot to be having within a few hours, that's up to 600mg of caffeine for average cups and 400mg is supposed to be the safe limit for most people. It also takes like 4-6 hours for caffeine to wear off so you shouldn't need that much right away.

Going without it for a while lets you really feel what proper doses feel like too. I went a couple weeks without coffee, then when I had it again I had such horrible nightmares that night. I switched to tea, supposedly the l-theanine helps balance the caffeine, because even with intense dreams they don't make me panic like the coffee did. That might be why you don't like it if you're just chasing the stimulant buzz.

It takes like 30~ hours or so for your body to process and eliminate all the caffeine, so I try to only have one or two cups a day and then wait at least 24 hours before having it again. It also helps if you don't immediately start drinking it after waking up, wait until midday if it doesn't fuck with your sleep schedule, because having it right after waking up means you're going to be crashing in a few hours.

Up your game bro, start sucking on caffeinated mints, buy caffeinated bar soap, and most importantly you need to start drinking "deathwish coffee" it allows you to consume over a gram (1000mg) in just 20oz ... You can also start snorting/plugging/mainlining crushed and purified "No-Doz™ pills

I suggest switching to black tea. The longer you brew your tea, the more caffeinated it will be. Try a big pot of black tea every morning, brewed for five minutes, with no milk or sugar added. Then try a big glass of cold water. Then later on have some more tea, then water, then tea, then water in the evenings. You'll still get the energy you need without becoming over-caffeinated or getting that buzz that coffee provides. Plus, it'll be much healthier, and you'll feel a lot calmer. :-)

Seems like tea kills my thirst, dunno if that happens for anyone else. I'm not drinking enough tea to make up for the lower intake of water, it just seems like I'm not thirsty like I should be and I start getting dry skin.
