How much caffiene is too much?

[mewmewmint]

Swim is worried that he took too much caffiene. He doesn't take it often so he is sensitive to it's effects. Usually when he takes it he gets headaches and pain in his arm and leg veins.

Swim took 8 painkillers that have codiene and acetaminophen as well.

So I took about 64 mg of caffiene. Is that a lot? Should I be worried?

That's less than the amount in a cup of instant coffee, as aminorex said.

one must be much more weary of apap in those pills than the caffeine...

swim agrees with swijesus, you could be giving yourself liver damage from all that APAP in your system at once. the caffiene and codiene are nothing to worry about swim says enjoy the high, but definatly cut down soley becuase of all that apap.

[Forthesevenlakes]

that much APAP will definitely hurt swiy's liver. do a cold water extraction next time (UTFSE to see how!)

a CWE won't remove the caffeine, but it will at least get rid of the nasty APAP. however if swiy uses enough pills, it could contain enough caffeine to be somewhat uncomfortable. 64 mg would not be enough to cause worry though.

Ull be FINE SWIM used to stay up all night working on crushing a bottle of no -doz , insuffulated

SWIM drinks soooo much espresso. Worst that happens is bad headaches and sleeplessness.

when you start to see checker patterns, thats when uve drank way too much caffeine

[Fresh]

Never seen checkers but I have given myself migraines, the shakes, and nasuea from too many lattes. I limit my self to 3 cups a day. 4 is the max, but 3 is a good number.

	Thanks for the link
	WOW what an awesome link!

Whoa, crazy stuff. Thanks for the link. Maybe the coffee I'm drinking is responsible for some things in my life.

"Psychosis can be induced in normal individuals ingesting caffeine at toxic doses."

That would explain why certain people I know might see me as "depressed" although I disagree with their view. Coffee does tend to put me in a bad mood when I overdo it. Especially when combined with a stressful day at work.

After a 16 oz energy drink and 2 black jack energy pills(350mg caff. each) Swim learned about too much caffiene. Cold sweats and a extremely rapid heartbeat. Wasn't fun.

[INodHardOhYeah]

63mg is perfectly fine, unless you are caffeine sensitive, that's about the caffeine content of 2 cokes, a single redbull has about 83mg, a cup of coffee is usually around 100mg. SWIM works at a coffee shop and daily caffeine intake is around 800mg over the course of the day, drinking at work and pulling shots off his espresso machine at home. If SWIM has under 300mg he gets awful fucking headaches. If it weren't for his job SWIM could never support his habit.

[BeetleJuice]

Whoa, Great link old hip,
i never even had the slightest idea of what caffeine could do to ones mental state. Of course well never hear anything about it in the media.

[drugsrbad]

swim eats about 5-10 200 mg cafiene pills a day when he has finals(this week) on top of adderal normally about 90 mg xr insuffulated broken up into seperate doses. I doubt 64 mg is going to have an adverse effects, 10 grams is the lethal dose. That is probably still safer than all that APAP( why do they even make acetometaphen(sp)? it is so bad for you.)


"However, it is estimated that acetaminophen poisoning results in 56,000 injuries, 25,000 hospitalizations, and 450 deaths every year. "

Thats jsut to give you an idea of how bad apap is for you.

Re: caffeine link Those spider webs were very interesting, did anyone else take a good look at them? I'd love to see the same tests on spiders done with a few other drugs.

[Bajeda]

^^^^^^

Here are a few more webs influenced by different drugs.

^^^^ hmmm seems caffeine & spiders do not mix well. LOL. I wonder if leaving caffeine around the house would scare spiders off, do you think they know when they're too fucked to spin?

[genaro]

some mental confusion, feeling a bit sedated, apathy, but completely unable to relax (nor sleep of course), unpleasant pressure in your chest, rapid heart beat, feeling a bit nauseous, headache, shakes, nervousness, paranoid.
That is too much cafeine (similarly to cigarettes, heavy cofee drinkers will need more than occasional drinkers to experience such effects)
Too much cafeine is quite an unpleasant experience.

[Rickmar]

Interesting reading about the effects people are experiencing.
SWIM's gf probably consumes around 20 cups a day so from someone elses observations thats around 2000mg of caffeine a day. Would definetly explain her very ratty mood 1st thing without any caffeine in here system.

SWIM bought some energy pills the recommended dosage was 2 pills (1200mg). SWIM took one pill and was jittery as hell for several hours afterwards and sweated like having run a marathon.

Time to get her to cut down SWIM thinks

[CountChristoph]

SWIM is drinking a giant rockstar right now which contains 160 mg of caffeine.
