so I decided to do some research on the substance I love so much


"In large amounts, and especially over extended periods of time, caffeine can lead to a condition known as caffeinism.[69][70] Caffeinism usually combines caffeine dependency with a wide range of unpleasant physical and mental conditions including nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremulousness, muscle twitching (hyperreflexia), insomnia, headaches, respiratory alkalosis, and heart palpitations"



check list:

nervousness - probably
irritability - probably
anxiety - no
tremulousness - yes
muscle twitching (hyperreflexia) - yes
insomnia - yes
headaches - yes
respiratory alkalosis - no
heart palpitations - rarely





"The symptoms of caffeine intoxication are [...] restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushing of the face, increased urination, gastrointestinal disturbance, muscle twitching, a rambling flow of thought and speech, irritability, irregular or rapid heart beat, and psychomotor agitation"


check list:

restlessness - yes
nervousness - not really
excitement - ehhh i guess
insomnia - yes, when I started
flushing of the face - i don't know probably
increased urination - yes
gastrointestinal disturbance - uhhhh idk
muscle twitching - yes
a rambling flow of thought and speech - never
irritability - probably
irregular or rapid heart beat - on occasion
psychomotor agitation - yes





"In cases of much larger overdoses mania, depression, lapses in judgment, disorientation, disinhibition, delusions, hallucinations and psychosis may occur, and rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue) can be provoked."


check list:

mania - have had, most likely
depression - have had, but I don't think caffeine had anything to do with that
lapses in judgment - have had
disorientation - frequently have had
disinhibition -frequently have had
delusions - have had
hallucinations - have had
psychosis - not able to judge
rhabdomyolysis - probably lol
