Title: How much caffeine makes you jittery
Post by: Boost on October 27, 2009, 09:53:31 AM
I just had around 400mg and I'm jittery as hell. Feel bloody awful

I never usually have any caffeine.

I'm experimenting with doses to try and increase my productivity

usually a gram.





no really, 400 mg is a ton dude.  I have 1/4 of a yellow pill, which is 50 mg, once per day around lunchtime, and I'm very happy with it.  I used to be on 600 mg per day plus soda and tea.

What's the caffeine content of the pills over in the US?

here in the UK i think it's illegal for the pills to contain more than 50mg

I've heared it's much higher elsewhere

When you're not used to caffeine 400mg will definitely make you feel bad instead of increasing your productivity.

I never drink coffee but have a 200mg caffeine tab here and there and it's more than enough.

When I use em every day 200mg won't do shit after about a week.

Same with ephedrine, you get used to it very quick.

I usually take a single 400mg dose before every workout.. I'm probably more resistant to it now though, can barely feel it anymore. 600mg+ usually made it uncomfortable for me.

Why would you ?

Better for him .. caffeine is addictive and not healthy.

Besides that , I don't get the whole coffee-thing .. sure a coffe with milk and sugar tastes ok but a warm chocolate drink or any kind of tea beats the taste of coffee by far.

And people who think black coffee without sugar tastes good either have a very weird taste or just like it because they are so used to it / addicted to it.

Things that actually taste good are those that children usually like.. and children don't like coffee or beer. If you eat/drink anything regularly you might start to like it .. this is actually something that can be developed over time. Especially if there's something addictive in it like alcohol or caffeine ..

PS :

Whiskey just like any other liquor does NOT taste good

I have a script. i tried some a while ago and loved it so i did some research to get the symtoms of ADD and booked an appt with a psychiatrist. he started me on only 5mg but i told him that made me extremely sleepy so he then upped the dose to 20mg. its so cheap. great for getting work done and preworkout. you should get in touch with a psychiatrist, its well worth it.

Coffee black, to me, is horrible. Coffee made strong with a bit of french vanilla creamer is awesome. To me it's one of life's guilty pleasures.

those flavored chemicals they put in coffee is gross, all those flavored creamers are all fake. What is wrong with America. They have no taste anymore, everything has to be sweet tasting or they dont like it.

no, they are just acquired tastes.  i love my coffee black.  i didn't at first.  i don't drink coffee every day, i'm not addicted.  i just think that the flavor of black coffee is so good, there is no need to cover it with cream or sugar.  it has such a distinct, full flavor of its own.

same with whiskey.  it tastes good straight.  you might not be used to it, but once you refine your pallette, its well worth it.

for the record, 5 hour energy sucks.  didn't do shit for me.

nothing beats a large peet's, black, with a shot or two of espresso.  now that is some liquid energy.

I'm the same way with 5hr Energy. Doesn't do shit for me. Neither does Red Bull.
And I prefer Peet's head and shoulders above Starbucks, but the best coffee I've had is either Cafe Trieste or a local independent (spreading quickly though) from SF named "Philz Coffee."

When it comes to Peet's, I'll just go straight for the jugular. Not messing around with anything, I'll just have a quad espresso. I'm usually good after that!

They sell 250mg caps over here, the label says not to take more than EIGHT per day, eight!
First time users who immediately go to 8 are going to suffer :P
