At the moment I will consume 533mg of caffiene a day (cup of tea and 3 cans of huge energy drink lmao)... if i dont i get the migraines the extreme tiredness but you know what i dont care... The positive effect for me has always been the increase in intelligence and energy i can work things out and solve things quicker than when i have had no caffiene... besides as far as addictive drugs go this one is the safest :P I been consuming caffiene for longer than i remember parents are telling me that i should cut down.

A few days ago, I just had one energy drink in the morning around 10 am and then tried to not consume any more caffeine that day. I already started getting a headache that night, and when I woke up I had a huge migraine. After getting up, I was really dizzy and the light hurt my head so much. 10 minutes later I'm throwing up! I tried to deal with this by pacing back an forth (helped the dizzyness) but threw up again...so I ran to the store and got a rockstar zero carb (220mg caffeine) cuz i only do sugar free stuff. I drank about 20% of it sipping to not throw it up in about 20 minutes time and my head already started to ease a slight bit. By the time I finished the drink, my headache...MIGRAINE! had cleared up and then my stomach returned to normal....pretty crazzzzzy stuff! but taking so much caffiene I feel bugged out of my head all day long like a zombie, or like i'm drugs...totally a curse that costs me about $5 a day at least ($1000-2000 a year for this lifestyle? ouch) I am totally an addict and drink 3 to 5 energy drinks a day varying from the cheap ones at big lots to monster to spike and I take 80mg of caffeine green tea pills off an on through the day.

It's our chemical imbalances that cause us to rely on such chemical. So it's more medically necessary than an irresponsible habit. Just thank God that we have readily available sources to access.

I try to match the caffeine amounts so that I still benefit from it. Not having coffee daily has greatly improved my smile as well. My energy drinks are not usually dark cola colored beverages so they're not so staining. I just gotta watch out that my teeth don't pick up a neon green tint :) Caffeine without the extras (Taurine etc…) gives me the jitters so I’ve replaced my daily coffee with an energy drink.

Good to know i'm not the only one who drinks energy drinks every day. I've had at least one energy drink almost every day for the past 5 years so you could prolly say i'm hooked. people try and tell me it's in my head and if i really wanted to quit it wouldn't take long. They don't get what i mean when i say my head feels lighter and clearer so it's nice to know i'm not imagining that. sweet. Good to know i’m not the only one who drinks energy drinks every day.

I reserve them for those tough days where I only got like a couple hours of sleep. They actually do the trick.

My daily cocktail was the following: 1 bottle of Redline, 3 caps of Ergopharm's AMP (powerful and euphoric weight loss supplement), and anywhere from 300-700mg of caffeine. A month later, my left eye began to twitch without my control. That scared me. I quit all caffeine/stimulants and a few weeks later the eye twitch disappeared. I have quit all forms of energy products. The only thing I drink is 2-4 cups of green or white tea. Overall I have noticed that caffeine would affect my mood when I was coming off those high doses.
