The Shocking Effects Caffeine Has on Your Brain and Body

This is why I stay away from coffee, and prefer to do crack cocaine

I love coffee but my doctor said I have high cholesterol so I had to switch to a non-dairy creamer instead of mayonnaise.

I quit caffeine 7 months ago. I've never felt better or more energetic since I was a child.

I almost forgot what natural peace felt like until i stood my ground and quitting coffee for good.

Caffeine is not the most popular drug in the world, sugar is.

Me, a caffeine addict: I'm just going to pretend I didn't see that

I don't take caffeine of any kind anymore because it causes chest pain, shortness of breath anxiety and heart palpitations. My overall energy levels went up, I eat better and I can sleep better too. I've never felt this good in my life.

Caffeine addiction and sugar addiction go hand in hand, is my experience. Dropping all forms of caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate, caffeine free coffee, caffeine sodas), I find that I crave both coffee and sugar less and less. I am 1 month in and my life is SO MUCH changed for the better that caffeine is out for good, and my sugar addiction is my real battle at this point.

Anyone else thinking this lol. It's the same with milk and eggs too.

I stopped drinking coffee in 2013 as an experiment. I was very surprised by the withdrawal symptoms, I could barely stand for two days. My sleep patterns changed drastically. I needed 2 hours less than before. This was also the end of the migraines I used to have.

I am 66 and many folks say I look so much younger than my age. I only drink water for 41 years and also don’t eat fast food. I started drinking coffe at age 10 and by age 25 my bladder was wrecked by caffeine from coffee and diet soda, and also processed food. They call it interstitial cystitis and I still have it, but I leaned to control the pain by avoiding the above-mentioned foods.

As a barista I learned that there is now around 22 pesticides used in coffeebean production. Also caffeine worsens anxiety disorders. Stay safe and find organic coffee and stop using caffeine if you have neurological issues such as depression/anxiety/ptsd etc.

In the army, we were on a training mission, the commander wanted to see how long we could stay awake and conducting training. We lasted three days before we started having severe problems keeping our vehicles upright, trucks driving into ditches etc... We were then told to stop everything and sleep. It took nearly two days to recover.

It plays havoc with me mentally and physically. I was getting dreadful anxiety and feelings of extreme panic/dread, palpitations, feeling short of breath, bouts of atrial fibrillation and eventually a regular-irregular heart beat.
As soon as I tried cutting out caffeine, the symptoms, including the heart beats, all returned to normal within 2-days...

I overdosed on caffeine twice in my late teens. It's awful, you absolutely think you're dying. It feels like you're having a heart attack. I had a severe insomniac sleep condition that was undiagnosed, and the constant harassment from my teachers for nodding off in class got too much. I started drinking up to 4 energy drinks a day and chewing/pocketing caffeine pills like chewing tobacco just to function and make the harassment stop. This also DESTROYED my teeth because of the abrasion and sugar deposits. Thankfully I'm on medication now and I'm able to sleep, but my teen years were straight hell and those teachers were definitely abusive.

Wait, wait, before I'll watch, I need to refill my mug...

[prestonbyrd]

Got to watch a buddy of mine overdose on caffeine. He sat in the bathroom of our friends' apartment in the fetal position for a couple of hours, effectively vibrating and rocking back and forth.
He walked away from it, but none of us wanted to go through that again.

I'm quitting altogether because 1 cup makes me crash. I want to get through the day with natural energy and not be dependent on 2 to 3 cups a day
