Caffeine addict - without it, I get headaches

[the trainer]

I think I am becoming an addict if I dont have caffeine for one day I start to get headaches, must be that dam nano vapor that I take before workout but I need the energy in the mornings, not sure what to do here.

Honestly, just take a break from it.  No real other way around it.  You will find after a few days, you will have more energy in the gym than you thought you would.  There is a big psychological component to the ritual of the pre workout.

Swap out the nano vapor with a couple of shots of expresso. Then cut out coffee during the rest of the day. Then -- if needed -- deal with the expresso. I am also addicted to caffeine, but it doesn't vex me much. It's part of me now.

Caffeine addiction is quite physiological.

I have two tubs of nano vapor cost me about 100 bucks at gnc I cant just throw that shit away, maybe I should just finish it then dont buy anymore.

Or just take half the dose for a few weeks, then quarter dose, etc.. until you finish the tub and wean yourself off it that way.

On a side-note, preworkout supps are expensive! $100 for some caffeine and a few aminos?! I'm glad I drink coffee or a sugar-free monster preworkout, very cheap

If you just can't go without your morning cup of coffee, go half decaff for a couple of weeks. Then 3/4 decaff. Try lower caffeine stuff like tea instead. The idea is to slowly come off it without just dropping it altogether because that will lead to a head fog. Same with your pre-workout - go with 1 scoop, half scoop etc

I haven't had caffeine for probably 10 years or so (and yes that includes chocolate) and I'll tell you that the first month was nothing but nasty headaches and now I don't even miss it.

I agree that a lot of it is mental. If I need a boost in the gym I just pop on some music and get

Thats nothing what if you wanted to increase your testosterone, the animal hardcore cycle consists of animal stack and animal test, the price is a whopping $290 for a 2 month cycle at gnc.

At that price you might as well jump on the juice, at least you KNOW that shit works.

So are most Americans. You won't die from it and the withdrawals aren't like, say, quitting alcohol or cigarettes.

And caffeine can be tapered off.


Good luck trying that with booze or ciggs! Failure will prevail

2 small cups of coffee plus a couple 200mg caffeine tablets first thing in the morning and then another 200mg sometime during midday.

Nothing too extreme but I'm with some of the others in this thread when I say it might be a bit too much.

caffeine is deadlier than steroids and heroin combined.


Turns out, 100% of caffeine users from the 1700s have passed away.

Drink a cup of black coffee like a fucking man. Stop bothering us with such mindless drivel.

I tend to agree, the gayner does prefer the company of well endowed black men.

I was off caffeine for over 1 month cause it got to the point where I could take 400mg and felt nothing, so yesterday I took 100mg and felt a bit of a buzz and today I felt nothing with the 100mg so its like my tolerance is going to build up fast again, what do you guys take for energy.
