When I quit caffeine I had to schedule my cleanse for a weekend because I spent a day and change with cold sweats and vomiting, but uh, that was a day and change and not 3 goddamn loving heartattacks.

loquacius posted:I wonder if there's like a caffeine rehab center you could go to When I was in my 2nd and 3rd year of university I'd chug through about 10 cups a day as well. Coffee/tea for breakfast, get to uni and grab one with a friend before class, grab another after class, have a coke with lunch, grab another after lunch, grab a can of coke before going home, have a coffee when i got home then a pot of tea though the night. It wasn't great for my guts or my health really. I was weened off it with the help of my mother who secretly gave me herbal, non-caffeinated tea without telling me. So I honestly straight up placebo effected myself with this herbal tea thinking I was on caffeine. I liked the tea so much I replaced most of my caffeine intake with it and went back down to 2 cups of coffee a day at the most. 3 heart attacks sounds very wild. The worst I had was going 50 hours with out sleeping. But that was with not eating anything but toast, drinking only coffee, forcing myself not to sleep and being insanely stressed out about the work I was trying to push out. And it didn't kill or hospitalize me it just made me pass out for 15 hours or so after in a haze of relief and lack of real energy.

I've never been able to notice the affects of caffeine on me. Maybe because I've been drinking coffee since I was a kid. I usually have 2-3 cups of coffee a day if I'm working, but I can go weeks with out it. I can also have an espresso or half a pot of coffee before bed and have no trouble falling asleep. Guess I'm lucky.

Guess I'm lucky. 2-3 cups a day isn't enough to cause really terrible effects or withdrawals. It's the people who keep upping their dose in order to keep a strong stimulant effect as they gain tolerance that get into trouble. Personally, I quit caffiene for a week every so often in order to lower my tolerance, so that when I go back to to 3 cups a day I get a good effect again.

Not necessarily saying the 'fesh was true, but an arrhythmia can cause a heart attack, and OD-ing on a stimulant can certainly cause one. Hell, caffeine is so chemically similar to various amphetamines that the treatment protocols for ODs are identical. I knew a girl in college who took 60 mg of Adderall (a huge dose of a lovely prescription amphetamine cocktail) and downed several black coffees one day during finals week. Her dumb rear end ended up in the hospital, and she missed her finals. Don't abuse stimulants, kids. Also I don't get how you can drink so goddamn much coffee that you suffer withdrawal symptoms if you stop. I mean, physiologically, I get it, but man slow it down with the coffee jeez

I guess I was lucky because when I stopped my near 12 cans of diet soda+multiple cups of coffee a day habit after I graduated college and switched to maybe 2-3 cups of coffee a week I didn't feel any withdrawal effects...physically, at least. Mentally it took a while to get over the anxiousness of not constantly being drinking something.

I think Im just very sensitive to it and should be viewed as an extreme case; at my peak I was drinking about 2-3 cups (max ~40 ounces/1.2 liters). If I stopped for 24 hours I could guarantee withdrawal symptoms like clockwork so I put off quitting for years until I had a trip coming up, got worries I couldnt get caffeine on it, and decided to quit rather than ruin it.

I once took a staycation between quitting an old job and starting a new one, and ruined my entire week by spending it getting caffeine clean but that just meant I was tired and irritable for a few days, yeah quote:I'm pretty sure I have the most hosed up family on SA.

my SVT as a teenager seemed to have been brought on by caffeine (or at least it was the catalyst since I had ablation to take care of it which, I think, meant there was something actually wrong with my heart in the first place) and it sucked rear end. I still have palpitations in general and I avoid caffeine as much as possible. otoh my brother is complaining about having palpitations and weird anxiety/shaking and he drinks a lot of coffee and caffeinated sodas and poo poo and I'm like hmmmmmm perhaps, don't

The doll thing seems like an unhealthy way of coping with grief but given how long it has been, they probably aren't ever going to get therapy (if they were open to it they probably would have been to one already) so if it's dragging around the doll or living in perpetual misery/killing themselves I guess I can't make fun of them too much

To add to the caffeine chat, last year I sort of toyed with the idea of making my own cola, or own soda, but I definitely wanted to include caffeine. I knew nothing about how that works, so I looked it up. Holy poo poo. Did you know that caffeine is the deadliest-yet-legal substance that anyone can just go right ahead and buy online? I mean, when it's in your drink and measured by the milligram, you can tell it's serious stuff, but accidentally ingesting or swallowing even a fraction of a teaspoon would either kill you or really gently caress you up. I have small kids at home, so that pretty much killed any plans for having any of the stuff hanging around, even if it was out of harm's reach. In short, caffeine is serious poo poo

I knew nothing about how that works, so I looked it up. the ld50 for caffeine is ~150-200mg/kg. If you take the low end of that, and then for shits and giggles divide it by ten just to be safe, I'd need to eat 1.395kg to have a 50% chance of dying. You must have some bigass teaspoons.

Doll-brother goon, maybe you should buy a real-doll and bring it along next time you visit. Possibly two options here, both of which might land you in hell. 1. Introduce her to your parents as your fiancee. 2. Introduce her as your brother's new girlfriend and take her in his room, strip her naked and put her in bed with him. Some times an extreme solution will break them out of this weird worship.

For a 100kg person, that's 100kg*200mg/kg=20,000 mg, or 20 grams. Caffeine is 1.23g/cc, so 20/1.23=5.5 cubic centimeters, or about 1 teaspoon. Now, I don't know whether the number I found was for pure solid density or bulk density, but let's divide it by 10 to account for it being a loose powder; that's still only three tablespoons. Also LD50 means about half the population will die below that number, sooo...

I'm sure he/she would take your side in this because they're way out of line here. Nothing's permanent. You can get a new apartment if you have to. But honestly I hesitate to tell you to move away because then they win. In any case, them trying to regulate your personal life is not something you have to put up with in any way, shape or form. If you stay, stop going to church and stop trying to please everyone. Matter of fact, make it your goal to piss them off more.
