Going nuts without coffee?

Post Reply New Topic

I used to drink 1 cup of coffee a day, but now I drink two, but I make the coffee weak. I just want to make the experience last longer.

For a while I was trying to cut down the amount of caffeine I consumed late in the day, so I used to keep one can of regular and one can of decaf on hand. I'd just mix the two in different proportions depending on the time of day -- usually regular in the morning, half and half for afternoon, and decaf in the evening... sometimes other ratios depending on how I was feeling.

Well, I used to drink two pots - because three just seemed like too much! Then I managed to dial it back to a daily half-pot. But it's messing with my intraocular pressure, so I've got to quit. Green tea doesn't seem to do the same thing...

Hardly drink it, also no alcohol.
Don't like the feeling.
Sometimes I drink a cup.

Mmm....sipping on my morning coffee as we speak

I started drinking coffee when I had to wake myself up in the morning and I loved it. But if I overdid it I felt horrible if I underdid it however it didnt bother me too much except I craved for it. I stopped drinking a few months ago because of some personal reasons and I went through hell to get over it. I had withdrawal headaches and overslept during the day. But after an year of cutting out caffeine I'm managing without any side effects.

I have about half a pot on average. I`m a little sick right now so only a couple of cups. If I don't have my coffee I am not a very good person. I need it to really feel awake and ready for the day. I drink it black. If I add anything to it I can't drink it. Even a half sugar packet or a hint of cream ruins it for me.

A cup of coffee lasts me the whole day. I often sip it cold because it is annoying to have to constantly reheat the cup. This is why I switched to tea, much less gross when cold and less caffeine.

I appear to be hypersensitive to psychoactives...like most autistic people.

I'm addicted to caffeine, but my source is soda, which, admittedly, is less healthy than coffee. I can't stand the taste of coffee. I can barely tolerate earl gray tea.

This is me. Caffeine is good to reduce my autism symptoms.

I drink decaffeinated coffee all the time because regular start making me bounce off the walls, if you know what I mean. The regular coffee I have tried in Steak N Shake really makes me bounce off the walls. I wonder if some of these restaurants had another ingredient added to their coffee.
