Too Much Caffeine Strut

So my boss made one pot of coffee with twice the amount of grounds this morning. I didn't eat breakfast and a few cups later I'm freakin out here.

    Today is my first day without the morning cup of joe... Feeling tired right now despite 8 hours of sleep. Replaced the coffee with Green Tea. Trying to cut caffeine out of my diet for a while. Green Tea supposedly has more caffeine than coffee (can anyone confirm or deny this?) but I'm not feeling the tweak...

    Not true at all. I think your average cup of green tea has closer to 1/4 - 1/3 the amount of caffeine found in a cup of coffee.

    There's also a way to brew green tea that allows you to remove almost all the caffeine. I believe you steep the tea for 30 seconds, remove the bag/filter, dump the water and resteep in fresh water.

    I would not be here today if it was not for the caffeine.

    Thanks, but I don't have time for all that. I'll just deal with the lesser amount of caffeine.

    yeah I am trying to do the same at least a couple days a week; the green tea is easier on my stomach and has healthful side effects as well.

    but no, it's nowhere near the caffeine boost I need. I basically just find myself drinking twice as much tea as I would coffee, like 8-9 cups over the course of the day.

    funny you should post this cause I just OD'd myself.

    I was up too late last night and had to wake up at 6:30 so I overcompensated with coffee and now I'm

    Nothing worse than being over caffinated and tired. I feel hype but can't think straight. NALGAS

    Nothing will be quite like a good strong coffee, but grapefruit juice works, too.

    Man started taking one B12 vitamin before bed at night and felt a real difference in the mornings of up and at 'em.

    I'm intrigued. So it doesn't interfere with your sleep but it makes you feel more awake in the morning?

    I don't know that you have to take it at night to feel more up in the mornings - he just happened to do it that way. It is good for higher energy overall. Not being a medical professional, my guess is that it has to be absorbed by the body first and that would account for how he feels the morning after.

    Apparently you can get shots of the stuff, too, for a real boost.

    I'm gonna try that. If it's good enough for Man, it's good enough for me...

    I've been researching this as well. From what I've read, a mix of B vitamins, high grade Omega 3, and Linseed oil can do wonders for energy/concentration and mood. Just haven't had time to get to Costco stock up. Any other way and this shit is wildly expensive.

    I've heard meth does wonders in the morning too.
