Caffeine

[DemonArchangel]

This... this isn't alcohol. Over the course of 15-16 hours, I have consumed 4600 mg of caffeine. That's roughly $38 worth of espresso if anybody cares to know. I can't type straight. I can't think straight. I'm missing letters on the keyboard. The world seems warped to me as my head spins. I'm nauseous, dizzy, my hands are trembling, which would be OK, except I can't think. I really can't. I'm lost, I don't know what do to do. I've seen Satan already. 600 milligrams ago. I saw Satan. He hates me. I'm tearing my ******* skin out. I can't stop itching. Even my eyes itch. My corneas. I feel everything. This is like cocaine, except without the euphoria or even the 70s style glamor associated with snorting the white stuff. My head hurts. I just want to roll over and die. I'm literally bleeding from where I'm scratching. I want to scratch my umm...private parts, but my ******* roommate's in my room. I hate him. I'll be honest. I hate him. I really can't stand the SOB. The only reason I tolerate him is because he knows to leave me alone. My heart won't stop beating out of my chest. I 'm going to die. I swear, I'm going to die. Please. Help me.

Please.

Note: Die= figuratively, not literally. I would only have died literally if I actually took the bottle of crank my friend offered me.

Drink some water man, and do it quick.

Vomit as much as you can, then drink more water. It'll clean you out somewhat.

What the hell did you do anyway drinking that much caffeine!?

4600 mg?
It is now 11:30. I have had that amount this morning. I have that amount every morning. I didn't even have a full meal yet today.
Same for all the other people I'm with.

[Sigurd]

A deadly dose of caffeine is 3 - 30 g... depending on tolerance. you have taken nearly 5 g.
Hope to see you alive Demon...

[Ser Clegane]

Quite frankly - if you really had 4600mg of caffeine you might want to visit a docor.
It's a bit beyond me how you managed such an intake - did you swallow caffeine pills?

[Somebody Else]

Not sure what 4600 mg means - nor indeed $38 of espresso. I know I can cope with 16 shots of espresso in a few hours (and still go right to sleep afterwards). I used to have a machine that made 8 shots in one go, you see... And philistine university students don't understand good coffee - they prefer 'instant' - so I don't share (though, I do offer).

I guess normally in North America a cup of expresso contains about 100 mg of caffeine.

So if Demon has consumed 4600mg it would be about 46 cups in about 15 hours.
Well... since caffeine's half-life is about 4 hours give or take... the real effect is probably less than 4600 mg.

But people have been hospitalised as a result of the effect of 2000 mg (2g) caffeine.

Since Demon is showing all the symptoms of serious caffeine intoxication, he should take Ser Clegane's advice and go see a doctor. At least then someone with the proper knowlede would determine if the intoxication is severe enough.

If I remember correctly, Demon is not weighing much... this could be a problem.

I've had some serious caffine in the past (ever had No-Xplode? ) in short periods of time and its wonderfully intoxicating. You should head to the gym and do squats and deads straight away.

Your going to have to flush that out man, loads of water and if your feel like crap tomorrow get some B complex vits and swallow of few of those.

With a cup of coffee of course.

[R'as al Ghul]

I'd advise to always smoke cigarettes with your coffee. They'll calm you down.
We call it french breakfast and reading Louis' post it still seems to be true.

[DemonArchangel]

I just got ~3 really unsatisfying hours of sleep. This still means I have a term paper due in a few hours. I'm not putting any more caffeine into my system though. I'm not sure if that was *Sleep* or me just losing consciousness. Either way, I survived, but right now, I'm still wickedly buzzed.

[Vladimir]

You see, this is why they shouldn't have re-illegalized ephedrine. I got about eight hours of sleep in a week using that stuff and it was free! A friend of mine saw me mixing No-Doze in my coffee and gave me what he had left. Just because some fat people died they took it off the market. It's much more effective without all the negative side effects of caffeine.

Oh, drink slightly chilled water until you puke, then drink some more and you should be fine. Don't do any exercise as your heart most likely needs the rest.

Dude, we need to hang out!

I never had that last Doubleshot (call me a pussy if you want), so my real intake was 4,480mg caffeine. I have not had any caffeine in the last 9 hours and I have purged extensively with water and breakfast.

Care to enlighten us as to why the splurge? School related or general mischief?

[DemonArchangel]

I have a term paper due today. It was assigned 2 months ago. I sort of forgot about it.

[Papewaio]

After having 24 cups of coffee in the day leading up to a maths exam... and having my lips and cheeks go numb... I decided from that point on during uni to do a 6 week coffee free period before the exam swat time. That way caffeine could have a positive waking effect.

After I graduated I took an entire year off coffee. Very hard to do as I had been drinking coffee since I was seven. Generally I treat it like others would a hangover. About 3 days after you give up is the worst. Plenty of fluids and normal amounts of panadol...so when I'd get a cold I used to combine the two and kick coffee for 6 weeks.

Anyhow I'm off to get a large cappuccino with 2 sugars... gone off breakfast lattes... need the sweet coffee and the chocolate froth.

Time management is a beautiful thing. Well, when you can afford to manage time anyway.

Hope to see you alive Demon...

Only when it is concentrated. Nonetheless, a visit to the doctor is probably in order.

EDIT: Alright, I saw your recent post, it looks like you're OK. :)

However, you heart was doing crazy things, so it might still be a good idea to check it.
