It's textbook withdrawal, so I'g guessing it's not just in your head. Those are 4 of the top 5 or 6 symptoms to caffeine withdrawal. As for why it's withdrawal if you only drink one a day, it's not really how much you consume, it's with what regularity and frequency. If you drink one every single day, you're more likely to go to withdrawal than someone who drinks a case every weekend.Vault101 said:so last night I decided to cut down on energy drinks...for dental reasons
I've been a "1 big can a day" person for quite some time now..I think thats about 160mg worth which from what I understand is somwhere in the mid range
and I havnt had any today (instead I had one of those stupid Beroca tablets that you disolve in water that taste like piss)
Ive had this headache which has been going on since morning, and I'm really tired , and I might be somwhat irritable too...even more irritable when I think about going the whole weekend wihout, which makes me depressed
and now I'm depressed
so I guess what I'm asking is am I actually suffering from wtihdrawl here, do I consume enough for that? or is it all in my head? I remember another time I didnt get my daily fix until 1in the afternoon and I was mostly ok....has my brain just thrown a pre-emptive tantrum here?
secodn question [b/]have you ever tried to give up anything? how did you feel? were you sucessful?[/b]
how so?BlumiereBleck said:One a day will give you Crohn's Disease, never drink energy drinks!!!!! Okay I'm done with my lil rant. I tried to give up sweets, candy, chocolate and all that. I couldn't make it more than a few weeks. I tried to give up masturbation for celibacy. I made it 35 days. I commend anyone who has been able to go longer than that.
Thanks for the advice I'll definitely keep that in mind.Binnsyboy said:I'd be careful with that. Caffeine can satisfy nicotine cravings, but the two aren't the same.MrStab said:I'm in the middle of giving up smoking, I'm ten days without so I guess that can be viewed as being successful so far. I have had started drinking more coffee than before though so I'm less of an arse hole and it seems to help with cravings for some reason.
I knew a guy who took that path and because he started ingesting so much caffeine, his body couldn't adapt and he died.
Edit: Oh yeah, during my most recent relationship I decided to cut back on cola since it makes me burp and this was a very PDA relationship (just the way I like it) and I think the trade off eliminated the withdrawal symptoms. The relationship's done now though, and I'm back on the coke.
my brain is trying to escape from my skullMortai Gravesend said:Aww, giving up on your attempt already? Maybe just modify it to not be a total and immediate stop?Vault101 said:[b/]update:[/b] screw this, I feel like I'm going to be sick......
hahahahaMortai Gravesend said:Well the fact you're suffering from this says you really ought to do *something* about it. Shouldn't be such a huge issue to quit it, so if it is...Vault101 said:my brain is trying to escape from my skullMortai Gravesend said:Aww, giving up on your attempt already?

I'll try having the smaller sizes mabye...this cannot do
But yeah, try smaller sizes for now. Maybe try nothing again after a week?
And I am currently imagining you as that insane dog craving caffeine, ready to kill for it .__.
Ha, I know..I think its about benefit/negativeMortai Gravesend said:I always hated hearing that logic in regards to smoking. It's still a bad idea >__>
Who wants to die anyway!?
But I don't really think energy drinks will have the same effect on your health thankfully -__-
hear thr requiem for a dream music...Mortai Gravesend said:You poor, poor addict D=
I've always found years of life + quality of life to be the bigger thing there... .__.
Though again, I can't imagine energy drinks will kill you or harm you all that much.
I'm the same...TizzytheTormentor said:I too have to give up sugary drinks for dental reasons, fortunately, If I brush 2 times a day, I am mostly fine. No one will get in the way of me and my Monster energy! (I also love Vodka and Red Bull)
