SO apparently if you add enough instant coffee to make it taste like a “strong” cup of coffee… its gonna contain way more caffiene than you expected. Didn’t realize it until my hands wouldn’t stop jittering.
It actually tastes pretty good but yeah. Don’t be like me. Looks like I’m definitely staying up until midnight.
I was in the hospital for a few days due to a caffeine overdose because I was working myself too hard that day but was sleep-deprived.
Do you remember how much you took? There was a couple times when I was in college I felt like I had taken way way too much but never was hospitalized so I’m curious what the “limit” is.
It depends a lot on how much you’re taking normally.
It’s easy to go 200mg to 400mg, then 800mg a day and before you know it you’re taking a gram of caffeine just to wake up in the morning.
Pretty mild withdrawal if you can just be grumpy and tired indoors for a few days.
Caffeine withdrawal for me is vascular headaches completely unaffected by any painkillers, and nausea. I can swing “grumpy and tired” by halving my dose every couple days.
I probably didn’t relate those to nausea because that’s just high dose caffeine for me
