Does caffeine affect you when you drink anything with the stimulant in it?
I do not get the shakes like I used to, and I don't feel like I bounce off the walls. Only thing it does to me is keep me awake in the night. So for instance, I can't tell that it has hyped me up, but I can definitely tell when I am trying to sleep but cannot.
Let me know what experiences you have!
When I first started drinking coffee it made me go crazy. Lol, and if I didn't have it I would go into withdrawal.
Now that I've been around it for so much, it really has no effect on me.
I used to get to that point with Mountain Dew. I wouldn't have withdrawals, but cravings. I have kicked the MD addiction since. Now it's energy drinks... which could be worse LOL.Quote:

But about 3 weeks ago I went through a phase of having 3-4 big cans of energy drinks a day for about a week and I actually thought I was dying, I felt proper out of breath, lightheaded and my heart was freakin the frick out after having one sooo obviously I haven't had one since haha. Haven't had any withdrawal or anything
OMG. Yeah that's horrible LOL. Some people have died after drinking energy drinks and then running.Quote:

Oh no. Energy drinks are bad for you... Even worse than excessive amounts of coffee. LolQuote:

On the other hand, energy drinks do have some weird chemicals and amino acids in them that are questionable.Quote:

Very badly, I avoid coffee etc. due to how loopy I get on caffeine.
Same with energy drinks though I'm not so good at avoiding those :(
Do you get the shakes?Quote:

It wakes me up and gives me the shakes but not too badly. I will only drink it if I absolutely need energy though and have only had one since June atm.
But ya don't get a crash after or crazy hyper or anything :) just don't like the taste that much
Have you tried energy drinks? Due to the fact that you get the shakes, it may not be a good idea. But they're greatQuote:

Energy drinks do. I get some more energy, I feel drained after it's worn off and I usually have a dizzy headache type feeling when I've had one so I've stopped drinking them. It isn't really worth it, but some of them taste nice so I'll (very rare nowadays) have one.
