Caffeine is lowkey the most normalised and profitable drug addiction in the world, and it doesn’t really even do anything. The whole ‘giving you energy’ thing is a myth, all it does it make you tired without it. That’s why caffeine legally has to be listed as a ‘flavouring’ on the packaging, despite nobody on earth having a clue what it’s supposed to taste like

The whole ‘giving you energy’ thing is a myth, all it does it make you tired without it.

Absolute nonsense. I don’t drink coffee or tea, and if I drink a couple cups of coffee I end up with a hundred more tabs in the browser, two programming projects started and abandoned, a hundred notes tagged and reorganized, and a bunch of unnecessary and vaguely mean comments on Reddit and Lemmy. Possibly also a sore leg or shoulder from impromptu exercise.

You need to take control of your caffeine addiction.

Placebo effect entirely
Nope. I can instantly tell when the wife has a Celsius or other “energy” drink because she doesn’t normally. I’ll full on addicted and it sucks trying to get off it, massive headaches, loss of focus. When she’s on it, kitchens get destroyed and other random things when she goes on a “cleaning spree”.
Oh really? And are the whooshing of blood in my ears and the cranked-up muscle tone also from the placebo effect? And the fact that the shoulder muscles are jacked up for several days afterwards, pulling my neck forward while the back muscles pull it back?
Sounds like quite a serious reaction. Have you seen a doctor about it?
Have you tried quitting your coffee addiction?
I don’t drink coffee. Why are you angry?
Do you also not drink tea and fizzy drinks?
Not really
That’s not serious. Abstain from all of those for a month or two, then down two or three cups of coffee and get back to me. Even better if you keep doing alcohol during that, which is famously a depressant of aforementioned nervous system.
I just thought the stuff about muscle contractions in your shoulders/neck sounded concerning and unusual. I’ve never heard anyone mention something like that before.
That stems from my sedentary life mode. But that doesn’t mean that caffeine doesn’t stimulate skeletal muscle, particularly considering that I’m in the perfect position to judge that.
Personally, I just want to take a nap after drinking coffee.

Check yourself for ADHD.

One of symptoms is that supposed stimulants have calming effect

alternatively… try hydrating. i thought it was the whole ADHD thing til i realized i get sleepy when i’m dehydrated…

Absolute nonsense

No, science. (first result) mindbodygreen.com/…/does-caffeine-actually-give-u…

The other one, sounds like caffeine effect on ADHD.

We Love Our Morning Coffee — But Does Caffeine *Actually* Give Us Energy?

Is the energy we feel from coffee and tea all in our heads? Kinda.

Thanks for your speculation as to what it might be, but I don’t need it. Unless you totally abstain from coffee, tea and fizzy drinks, you have no idea what caffeine is like after not consuming it.

Especially, seeing as another guy here speculates that taking a nap after drinking coffee is a caffeine effect on ADHD, perhaps you two might want to speculate against each other whose speculation is more correct, speculatively speaking.

  • Yes, i have. And do you really think, you’re the first and only, geting off coffee?
  • coffeine is known to have the whole fucking range of effects on neurodiverse, from worsening their symptoms over having no effect at all to making them sleepy.
  • rom worsening their symptoms over having no effect at all to making them sleepy.

    Thanks for admitting that your guesswork doesn’t amount to jackshit since it contradicts itself.

    With the info, that a “Syndrom” means a range of causes, displaying similiar effects you can roughly group together.

    Now calm down.

    Well then thank you for pulling the word ‘syndrome’ out of nowhere, since it figured nowhere in this conversation before. But you also say it means “displaying similiar effects”, so you mean that “worsening their symptoms over having no effect at all to making them sleepy” and “getting a lot of ADHD antsy, jittery” are “similar effects”?

    Let’s also consult Wikipedia:

    Stimulants (also known as central nervous system stimulants, or psychostimulants, or colloquially as uppers) are a class of psychoactive drugs that increase alertness. They are used for various purposes, such as enhancing attention, motivation, cognition, mood, and physical performance. Some stimulants occur naturally, while others are exclusively synthetic. Common stimulants include caffeine, nicotine, cocaine (including crack cocaine), amphetamine/methamphetamine, methylphenidate, and modafinil. Most stimulants are highly addictive and damage health when addicted.
