coffee

[anthrax]

My experience:

after drinking coffee I "feel" the effects (I "wake up", have more energy) after a few minutes
It lasts a few hours (2-3-4 ? hours) / depends on quantity and others parameters I don't control
But after this good kick I feel realy tired

What about you ?

Me 2.
Sometimes its duration is shorter than 4hours but it's like ephedrine.It acts like amphetamines.
Not too stong but strong enough to make you feel about the same effect for a while.
You can become depended on caffeine.Try going from 400-800mg's per day to close to zero mg's and then tell me how do you feel..

close to zero mg ? ---> headache + feel like crap !

I try to go out of caffeine (clean the receptors ?) when I am on vacation

Go off slower, half- caff, de-caff, off.

after taking ECA stack on and off for 3 years, coffee doesn't do shit for me.

Use ketotifen 2- 5 mg/ day to upregulate beta receptors as you taper off coffe. Or just take it to be more sensible again.
