    Default Caffeine

    How do you respond to it? Does it make you feel nice and stimulated, or anxious and on-edge? Do you need a nice tea or coffee to start off the day? I used to react well to it, but recently I think I've developed a hypersensitivity to it, or an allergy, as two cups of coffee in the same hour nowadays gets my heart palpitating like nobody's business.

    I usually don't like coffee, but I absolutely adore ice cream with coffee flavor. The times I've tasted coffee... I've felt a little weary, headache and minor pains.

    The only way that caffiene affects me is to give me a raging headache by the afternoon if I don't have any in the morning.

    Caffine is my enemy. If I have a can of Cola I won't be able to sleep for days.

    caffine relaxes my musles and makes it hard for my to talk because my mouth is relaxed but it makes me more energetic and awake

    One or two cans of [fizzy caffeinated beverage] in the morning slide me right into not-sleepy town. Of course, caffeine after noon will mess you up. So I don't do any of that.

    Worlds most popular drug? The more of it you use, the more you come to depend on it so Id rather avoid it.

    Thumbs up

    Caffine gives me energy, that's why its all i drink. Screw water, I need something that keeps me awake with quick enough reflexes and speed to play through as many FF titles as I want in one sitting. YAY!

    BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

    I can't really tell the difference.

    I can drink three cups of tea before bed and still sleep soundly.

    Pretty sure I had a nasty caffeine-withdrawl headache yesterday. I'm thinking of giving it up. I gave it up before for a year, it didn't seem to make a bit of difference, but I think I had less headaches.

    Also caffeine is a hard word to spell correctly. I had to look it up.

    I would be hard pressed to find someone around me who isn't dependant on Red Bull. We all sleep a few hours a night then hit it heavy all day most of the time. You should see the stockpile we keep in the D-fac! I've seen less for sale in a grocery store.

    I don't think that you would still be getting headaches after the initial ones that you get during the withdrawal stage, if you don't have anymore caffeine.

    I did read somewhere that coffee actually helps headaches. I know it does for me because I'm addicted to it, but it also is good for people who aren't addicted to it because the caffeine does something to the veins in your head that makes them relax, or something.

    I attempted to give up drinking tea, and the headaches only lasted for three weeks or so. I'd say that any headaches you experience after this time period are probably down to something completely different.
