Is anyone here totally off caffeine?

Smurfy said:
As in no coffee, no caffeinated pop, no supplements containing caffeine?


I'm tired.

i don't understand why people quit caffeine...unless it's
fucking you up in some way, why quit?
being active and not a fatty, i can't see how a little
caff can hurt a bro.

it exacerbates a medical issue I have. that's the reason I am attempting to be totally off caffeine.

anyways, my energy level is diminished and i need to get back on a workout plan.
 
Never actually been "on" the stuff. I think throughout my entire life I have drank the equivalent of half a cup of coffee.

Every now and then Ill have a Coke Zero or something that has a bit in it.

I used to take Lipostim every now and again. Havent in about 9 months.
 
I swear by low-carb eating and elliminating mood altering stims (caff, eph, yay)

Been doing this since June and it's mind boggling how more mentally stable I become. No highs and lows throughout the day, no anxiety, less stress, great sleep and wake, constant evenflow of energy, never feel tired, decreased appetite in starch/bread. I don't even think about sweets anymore.

ex: I use to get pissed off at people that drive slow, i've noticed I don't anymore. My tension is completely gone and I barely even had any
 
I'm off caffeine 12 hours a day.
 
i workout at 6am everyday and i can't fathom doing it without coffee.
coffee=the best pre/during workout supp
 
Smurfy have you ever thought about injectable Vitamin B? I know people and myself that have used it and it is great for energy! Seems like the following week after ya take it your nice and motivated all day long. I used to work 12 hours a day and would still be able to pull off a decent workout afterwards!
 
Coffee is a miracle drug.

It's been know to salvage the liver (for those of us who imbibe).

Drinking coffee cuts alcohol's bad effects - More health news- msnbc.com

In a study of more than 125,000 people, one cup of coffee per day cut the risk of alcoholic cirrhosis by 20 percent. Four cups per day reduced the risk by 80percent.

and it's a great source of antioxidants

Coffee is number one source of antioxidants

Coffee provides more than just a morning jolt; that steaming cup of java is also the number one source of antioxidants in the U.S. diet.

Can you take No-Doz? (straight caffeine)
 
Coffee or soda? I rarely drink coffee but I can kill some serious soda. I started mixing soda water with fruit juice and buying flavored carbonated water. Really helps. I hate stimulants.

I take a small amount before I workout sometimes but, if I take too much I start to get anxious. I don't drink coffe or pop just take a caffiene pill. I feel better on clen than I do on caffiene
 
I pop 200 mg every morning at 5:40am, then hit the snooze alarm. Get up 10 minutes later and off to the gym. It gets my ass out of bed.

I have acid reflux as well, but it only really flares up if I drink for 3 or 4 days in a row. Prilosec does nothing for you?

no prilosec did not resolve my issues. im on all sorts of other stuff and some tests are being run as well. i dont have GERD, I have a different kind of reflux (LPR) but it is reflux nonetheless.
 
I've tried several times and always go back. I find it just keeps me level during the day and I'm really up and down if I don't have it. Which is weird, because that should be the opposite.
 
I have a medical condition that when active is very sensitive to caffeine, oh.... the headaches I would get! When I was younger I could definitely life without it but now with 2 young ones... I need something in the morning.... even if it's just two sips of coffee.
 
I was on so many stimulants last week I dropped 10lbs. It was kind of excessive.

Just right now I'm drinking a cup of coffee today - first stims of the day...its been a brutal day. Stims also give me the bad acid churning, and yes I have to take prilosex.

Smurf, do you drink it black? Most coffee beans are pretty acidic, but there are beans with less acid naturally. Plus cream in the coffee will pull it's Ph way down if you add enough.

Coffee used to have the same effect on me until I modified my use. I permit myself a max of 12oz in an entire day. I always add half-and-half now, whereas I used to add just a bit of skim milk.

coffee is only good if you can binge on it.
a mere 12oz is worthless

She uses creamer, but she would still have to contend with the way caffeine stimulates parietal cells in the gastric mucosa.
 
I do not drink coffee or pop (aka soda/soder for you hicks)

As for supplements, I don't know.... get laid, that'll wake you up

Wouldn't that effect be relative to the amount of caffeine consumed? Dont know how sensitive her stomach has become to caffeine but I wouldn't expect 150mg to stimulate acid production as much as 300mg. Also, is a pump inhibitor like otc omeprazole not an option?

I am already on PPIs and other medications and its not effective for some reason (lately especially).
 
I have one cup of coffee, occasionally. I never drink other caffeinated beverages or take stimulants.

I dunno, caffeine doesn't "wake me up" so much at it makes me jittery. I find a sublingual B12 spray does a more to perk me up.

What about trying to get to bed earlier? Over reliance on stimulants is a poor substitute for actual rest.

I'm not lacking sleep. I'm off the caffeine now its been about a week. I wake up fine now. I think last week I was suffering from withdrawal.

gahhhhh i dont feel like arguing. Your several months late for this debate.
 
I give up caffeine every year for lent. Always feel 100 x better once I get it out of my system and swear I will never go back but always do. FML.

Coffee is just such a great social drink and ice tea and texas summers go together like chocolate and peanut butter.

Caffeine withdrawal, particularly if you take in a lot, will give you headaches and generally make you feel like shit. First thing the docs in the headache center ask about is caffeine consumption.

By the way, about your reflux. When I first developed gluten intolerance I developed miserable heartburn that was resistant to any OTC treatment. Took me forever to work out the connection since I was a lacto-ovo vegetarian at the time and had bread or grains in nearly every meal. I eventually went through a food allergy elimination diet and bye-bye heartburn. For some reason doctors rarely consider food intolerances as possible causes for GI issues. Maybe because you can't really test for an intolerance :whatever:

Just something to think about.

The high priestess of my coven was a professional ballet dancer. She basically lived on coffee for the entire period of her dance training career. Most people can only get away with that stuff for so many years. One day your adrenal glands and CNS go "tough noogies, we're cooked" and coffee stops working, starts making you feel truly vile or you start getting the reverse effect from it.
 
Been off caffine for about 13 yrs. When I started having anxiety attacks back then, I realized it was making things worse and dropped it all together.

I feel bad for people who actually need it to function each day. I was one of those people.

not to be a cack but you now have to rely on anixety meds everday to function.
which imo, is a much more serious habit (though obviously medically required) than a healthy bro having some coffee in the morning.
 
1stly... not drinking "caffeine" for 2 days isn't quitting.

2ndly... have you ever got those fake tits yet smurfy?

I never get pics anymore and slightly offended.

Don't you remember you said I have the "best small cock on the site"?

Apparently you forgot but I never forgot such compliments

I'm not talking about the few cups of coffe in the morning, or few sodas a day. I'm talking about the people who have to have it from morning to night. My ex must've drank 10 cups a day and about 6 mtn dews.

What helped me? I quit taking caffine and like Bino said, I take a pill every day.
 
i just had a iced venti americano frm starbucks.. theres 5 shots of espresso in there.
wonder how many mg's of caffeine that is?

that's fuggin disgusting, i'd feel like complete shit!
 
I drink about 20oz of coffee in the morning, along with a aleve for migraine, and 15mg ephedrine.

Then about noon I'll hit up a sugar free energy drink, or perhaps another round of coffee and 15mg ephedrine.

Then green tea at 3:30.

Sometimes NOexplode before the gym at 5:30.

I'm gonna die.
