Caffine addict, HELP WANTED!

i am almost 16, and i so far have had 6 cups of coffee in the space of 45 mins, and it isn't waking me up, i think it might even be making me sleepier somehow! What do i do? i need my caffine, but it isn't working, so i go up a cup every week! wtf?:huh:

 

Well I used to take too much coffee as well cause after a while it stopped having the wanted effect and it made em tired and sleepy.
Now I take Guarana pills which make me fully concentrated and hyperactive.

 

guarana pills you say? hrmmm,....where do you get those? cause this now 7TH cup of coffee isn't cutting it.

 

i've heard of some people switching using Yerba Mate.... i love that stuff but i was never a caffeine addict.... it doesnt actually have caffeine in it but it has some chemical stimulant thats like a close cousin to caffeine....
some people ive heard quite my taking the pills because like smoking the drinking is partially connected as the addiction, so breaking one part of the cycle might help you break the rest, and with the pills you could still get that pick me up for a little while untill you dont need to take them anymore..... and try getting more sleep and a more regulated sleep schedules, and mabey take a multi-vitamin....
good luck.... kick that coffe can

 

Do you drink this much regularly? NOT good for you. Did you get enough sleep? Dont take caffeine pills though.

 

thatsa lot of coffee...

maybe exercise in the morning..that will wake you up
that is about all I got..cause I am about ready to make some coffee..jaha

 

yeah, i get like,...4 hrs a night! lol, that didn't sound good when i typed it. i can't really get more sleep than that, i go to bed at 3 in the morning, and wake up at 7, to start my ritual of now 7 cups of coffee. im never gonna get taller, i know, but i needs me my caffine!!!!!!

 

Stop with the coffee already...It just doesnt work.
I think you can find Guarana pills in every better store. Ask around. And they are cheap. But two a day are enough ! And if you decide to take those - no coffee at all !

 

With my pills I go to sleep at 3 am , sleep till 7 am and I am completely rested and not sleepy at all.

 

Just so you'd know...I am not trying to talk a 15 year old into taking these pills. I am merely talking about my experience.

 

Well, i have to go to the store to get catfood, so i'll look for them i guess. Im just sick of my friends comparing me with garfield. lol!

 

i had a girlfriend who gave herself really bad bone deficiency by drinking so much coffee after she had he first child, when her body really needed nutrients...
so try eating better also, at your age its not about getting tall... but your whole future always rests on what you do now....so be nice to your future self, by being nice to your nowself......

 

Oh yeah...Guarana is going to kill your appetite.

 

ack! i was eating sour cream potato chips whilste drinking my joe! crap.

 

Well no wonder you're tired. :tongue: No amount of caffeine is gonna wake you up unless you get enough sleep.

 

Guarana is the shit! Never had the pills, but the Brazilian neighborhoods around here sell the soda, and it is arguably better than Cola! As for the coffee, if the first few cups don't do anything for ya, I don't recommend trying 6. Not good for the stomach either.

 

well, 8 cups later, i am officially awake now! lol, sad. I drink a lot of energy drinks as well as coffee, like Rockstar, and Monster, and Amp,....no wonder i don't sleep.

 

hmmm..u are damaging ur health...but i think u know it.....now it doesnt show but when u get older u may have a lot of problems if u dont stop.

well.....u need to go to doctor to investigate if uhave some medical problem...i read somewhere that there is this condition where person get very sleepy...it maybe some other thing.......so its worthy to go for check up
i dont think that switching from one stimulant to other is good idea...u need to find root of ur problem so u can sort it once and for all!!!!!! u dont want to be depend on something in ur life to keep u awake...it must be horrible..please go to see ur doctor. maybe a simple blood test will show whats wrong and there maybe be simple solution to help u once and for all.i wish u all the best!!!!

 

cut this coffee and energy drinking shit

eat healthy foods - you're growing, you'll get energy from the foods which you will expend really easily. as a growing teenager, you have high energy needs, which need to come from healthy foods, not energy drinks/coffee...

seriously, start weening yourself off the coffee and especially the energy drinks - the sugar and caffeine are going to destroy you

 

those energy drinks are friggin dangerous...and I was at the store the other day and I seen a 32 oz can (monster)..that is just ridiculous...gotta be bad for the heart.
