Caffeine (too much?)

[mikeyfla]

Ok, once upon a time..about 3 years ago I did what everyone else does and tried a pre workout....I was hooked....so much that I can't function without it now.....I have taken upwards of 800 to 1000 MG of caffeine per day...not every day...but on an average I take about 300 to 500 MG per day...every day....
How do I get off this stuff and still function? lol

Doesn't a cup of coffee have 200mg's? People drink several cups ED. As long as your BP and resting heart rate are good imo I wouldn't worry about it. Ime you'll get some nasty headaches if you stop cold. You would have to ease off. I'm no doctor...I'm a rocket scientist. Lol

I average 1-1.5g daily. Only bad thing is I feel like I need it now and it's expensive, because it's usually in the form of energy drinks.

After about 12 hours without some caffeine I get horrible headaches so I don't quit

Cup of coffee is 95mg of caffine so even someone doing 6 cups of coffee a day isn't hitting 1g a day.

Op Caffine taxes your heart always beating faster then it should and that suckers only got so many beats in it so I personally don't want to waste extras because of a lack of self control to continue to work even if you are feeling bagged out. I do take preworkout but I definitely don't need preworkout, gotta have a bigger driving force to make you do what you do and that should be caffine it should be your goals.

I'm so glad I don't get the headaches!

I'm off and on with heavy caffeine. I take all kinds of stimulants... Dmaa and 500mg caffeine preworkout. Then I'll be crashing all day so I have to drink like 3 pots of coffee... But I have good BP and my heart never skips beats or anything so fuck it right?

Damn should have Google'd it! OP averages 300-500mg ED which is not gonna kill him in my professional opinion. Unless, he has pre-existing heart problems then he's gonna die anyway.

What about walking or fucking? They'll make your heart beat faster. Should we not do those either?

Risk vs reward my friend. I'll take the risk for fucking but I'll probably limit my amount of walking

I drink a shit load of coffee everyday, average 3 cups at work and a strong pre workout as well. On the weekends I can take it or leave it, never had a caffeine withdrawal.

I usually do a 4 shot skinny mocha every morning before the gym-- not sure if it is too much but it definitely gets me going in the gym.

 

[Demondosage]

focus more on sleep part of the equation and less on caffeine, I know its easier said than done though

No such thing as too much lol
