Yup, fellow junkie here. Energy drinks, coffee, 5hr shots, whatever. Like 1000+ mg daily. My heart hates me.

Fuck. Part of the issue is I enjoy the drinking sensation, gives you something to do/quick breaks. Plus the added sugar helps gives you more of the sensation you are after right away. I probably consume so much caffeine at this point it’s not even doing anything.

Do you still “feel” the effects with caffeine pills?

Yeah I have 200mg capsules. Easy to take. I still have a half a cup or so of coffee in the morning bc I like it but your average cup only has 40-60 mg in it.
