Issues w/ caffeine (not working)

[IRON CROSS]

I think you can develop a tolerance. I only train twice a week and take couple of caffeine tabs (400mg) an hour before training. Been doing it for years and it still gets me going.

Yesterday, 5 espressos & 3L of black ice tea 

NoDoz, lost on popularity ?. Truck drivers must be on something else ..........

Try Provigil.  Much better than caffeine imo. 

When I drink caffeine it is always first thing in the morning.  Either 1/2 Monster/Bang or a can of diet coke.  I don't try coffee at all or use pre workout crap.  So if I need something to get me through the whole day, I use 1/4th tab of provigil.  Since you are already quite used to stims, I would say take the standard 1 tab dose.

Yeah, avoid having a natural coffee in favor of a chemically concocted Monster or Diet Soda - or better yet just use drugs, hahaha. Channeling ESF here for sure.

True, but I just dislike hot beverages in general.  I don't even drink tea or hot chocolate.

Any GetBiggers here ever run into this? (If you have, post your thoughts).

I've been seeing this lately (last 4 months) where caffeine doesn't do anything for me anymore, and maybe even makes me sleepy?

Example, been drinking a couple of Bang Energy (or similar) at night (well, 5 PM is nite for me) hoping to stay up 'til like 9 PM maybe.
BY 7 PM I cant keep my eyes open and Im out like a light. (600 mg's of caffeine).

This AM (like most AM's), I had 3 coffee's when I got up (4 AM), by 7:30 I was lying down again and napping while the car was heating up. (On vaca this week).
(Wife came down for us to go to the gym and I was snoring while the car was warming up).

Tring to make sense of it by reading some articles, but unsure still. (Adenosine overload maybe).

How does coffee work to keep you awake? The caffeine in coffee blocks adenosine receptors in your brain from receiving adenosine, which is a neurotransmitter that causes fatigue. Although caffeine prevents your brain from receiving adenosine, it doesn’t stop your body from producing the neurotransmitter. Thus, when the caffeine wears off, there is a buildup of adenosine that will make you sleepy. In other word, your body have built tolerance to caffeine. (How Long Does Caffeine Stay in Your Body )
Caffeine isn’t making you sleepy, because it doesn’t impact how much adenosine your body manufacturers. It does, however, delay the effects of that adenosine so that you feel it all at once in a rush when the caffeine wears off. (Tip: how many mg of caffeine in a cup of coffee)

Odd... (Im actually going to lie down now).

This same thing happened to David Dearth. He basically blew out his adrenal glands. Fucked up his sleep patterns (made worse by also heavy coke use).

Possible treatment is to stop coffee cold turkey and start using theobromine as a well-being stimulant.
