Yup! By the latter quarter of my time in college I was up to 10 cups of strong af black coffee before midday, and a quarter pack of cigarettes. Then the pandemic hit and it was harder than ever getting cigs and was forced to quit cold turkey when I got infected. Not dealing with traffic also made the anxiety I got from coffee not managable and had to tone that down too.

I've managed to reduce my coffee intake to once a day at most, early in the AM. Mostly for the flavour. A good shot of espresso with condensed milk does wonders, but will leave me somewhat jittery since my resistance has dropped so much.

I kinda miss drinking coffee from 6am to 10pm.

decaf! it has saved my entire cardiac system lol

[-] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Oh, does decaf make good espresso? I got pretty spoiled with my taste, living in a coffee producing country, lol.

[-] mayo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I rarely go straight decaf (because I can tell) but when I feel like my tolerance is peaking I'll mix decaf into my regular beans in whatever ratio. It works fine for all brew methods.

decaffeinating likely removes a few flavor compounds inevitably, but in my semi coffee snob experience I've had plenty of flavorful decaf espresso

Just a raw dogging life, One puff at a time thc nicotine sometimes a cup of caffeine.

I genuinely don't know what my other options are

I'm fuelled purely by anger.

And hard drugs.

This is me for sure. I need to make an appointment

Update: my primary care physician refuses to give any patient adhd meds or painkillers for any reason.

Has anyone tried switching from coffee to caffeine pills and was it the same, better, or worse?

[-] NecroParagon@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

When I was working an early morning shift getting up at 3:30 I found them to be really helpful. It's a lot more effective in my experience than other methods of caffeine. Though I would recommend the 100mg versus the 200 because popping 400 at once had me feeling like I was gonna die on a few occasions. 300 seems like a solid shot in the arm dose I never experienced. It was either 200 or 400 for me baby, on top of my Adderall. Which basically does nothing for me now.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I was doing half a 200mg when I woke up because otherwise I’d sit in bed for 2 hours before getting up and making coffee. That 100mg helped in that way and stains teeth less than coffee. Not sure yet about comparing

the truth shall set you freeeeeeeee

[-] mrcleanup@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Can someone explain the anger part to me, because I feel like it resonates with me, but can't say why.
