ADHD. Turns out I was self medicating this whole time.
Some people have a gene that makes them hyper-sensitive to caffeine. You either try lowering the dose or just no amount may work for you.
As others have said, not everyone has the same reaction to caffeine. Some people (esp. with ADHD) find it refreshing and even soothing, while others with a sensitivity have a strong reaction like racing heart, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping.
You didn’t really give much info, but I’m guessing by the question you are in the latter.
If you enjoy it, switch to tea or decaf (which still contains a small amount of caffeine). If you don’t enjoy it, then some people get an energy boost from ginseng or the like.
I’d it’s just the caffeine that’s a problem, there always decaf. There are some surprisingly good decafs out there.
What are the good decafs? The only one I know of is Blue Bottle Decaf Noir, and blue bottle is owned by Nestle so fuck blue bottle. Plus I can’t find it where I live now.
I had a hard time finding whole bean decaf. Counter culture: slow motion and magnolia coffee co: Brazil decaf are too options that I like fairly well.
My sensitivity to caffeine varies. When it starts to bother me, going to approximately half decaf and half normal beans is a good way to cut the caffeine without having the shock of suddenly switching to decaf only.
Eating something. Caffeine while on an empty stomach is no beuno at least for me anyways
Same. I get the shits after my 3rd cup in the morning if I haven’t eaten anything.
L theananine for me to, works great though consult a doctor if you need.
Mindfullness/quiet thinking - its important to understand youself to help calm down
Lots of water can help regulate your system better
Having it regulalry and slowly more and mor. I used to get anxious on coca cola. But i started moving to a small coffee, then a medium and now a large usually doesnt give me anxiety unless i have a strong shot
That’s the neat part, I don’t.
Care to clarify?
Caffeine in which context? Coffee, tea, energy drinks…?
If I’ve been feeling the effects of coffee I switch to teas for a few days. But I much prefer coffee so I end up switching back once I gel better. So maybe change up your caffeine medium of you’re having issues?
Practice?
By developing a caffeine addiction so it stops affecting me. Also ADHD.
I have one cup of coffee per day and maybe one soda if I need it later. If I have any more caffeine than that I feel like I’m going to jump out of my own skin
Drink enough of it and you’ll wonder how to better tolerate not having caffeine when the headaches start.
Yeah, this question is confusing and backwards.
