Health affects of copius caffeine abuse

Caffeine is a stimulant. Like any other stimulant, it is generally going to increase heart rate and blood pressure as well as make you more sensitive to stimulus. All are factors that will contribute to anxiety either directly or indirectly.
The more you take, the greater the effect.
 
Tbh just getting a low dose stimulant and caffeine for a midday pick up has helped me combat fatigue way more than either on their own. That said, a good diet and sleep is always preferable but some of us need the extra boost.

I dunno what the fuck kinda caffeine you guys have been having where it affects your dreams lmao. I've drank fucking coke, dr. pepper and red bull since forever on the regular. I remember I was one of those weird kids caffeine did the opposite effect to where it either did jack shit or made me tired instead of waking me up. Who knows, maybe I'm built different. For whatever reason despite this I still sometimes have something with caffeine in it in the hopes of staying awake when I need to.

Seriously I fucking wish having caffeine could make my dreams get funky it's literally just been mundane REALISTIC DREAM shit these last few years save for some weird shit last year or so where a fictional character showed up in a convenience store as just like a person that was there. I haven't had a dream where characters from media just fucking show up as a real person for like maybe the last 15 years so that was kinda cool.
 
Caffeine is neuroprotective and coffee consumption significantly protects against Parkinson's with about 3 cups per day.
 
I had a monster today and it made me feel incredibly ill. Abdomen was cramping, and my bladder hurt.

Slight dysphoria too.

I think it's something to do with stress. I don't remember my dreams much when I'm calm

Energy drinks are pure badness. Put that stuff down. If you want caffeine drink coffee or tea.
Caffeine is ok in moderation but Ive found it affects me a lot more the older Ive got.
 
Back before the pandemic, I used to drink quite a lot of coffee during work because I had to get up before dawn. I probably downed 5 cups of coffee at the minimum every day. The side effets I got at the time was being jittery and sweaty. Sometimes, I could hear my own heartbeat in addition to feeling it. After getting furloughed, the habit broke (because I obviously didn't have a job at the time).

Now when I drink coffee, I get nauseous. I start dry-heaving. It doesn't matter if it's a single cup or multiple. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the degree of roasting the coffee has, because the dry-heaving happens no matter if I drink the coffee black or dump creamer into it.

The nightmares though, those haven't gone away.

regular use: you quite quickly stop dreaming altogether plus when you hit the pillow it's lights out immediately

Adderall and cocaine are not euphoric the way caffeine is, though.

If you do stims, do it properly, amphetamines and MDMA stuff. Caffeine is for amateurs as has far too many stupid side effect for zero euphoria.
That "heartburn" will develop (likely already has) into a gastrointestinal ulcer, and then you will know what abdominal pain truly feels like, have to go on diet, and on meds that will make you suffer from water retention and weight gain too. Probably.
So stop lol
