    Maybe it’s because you’re negating the effects of your meds with caffeine? It’s literally the first thing a psychiatrist tells you. At least they should. It’s also clearly stated in the package insert. Why is everyone here taking meds and caffeine at the same time? I feel like dog shit when I do that. I drink my coffee in the evening when the meds have worn off. That also helps getting rid of some of the rebound effects.

      Sure, but this observation assumes I am a smart man. I might not be.

        Haha, fair enough! I’m pumping big words now, but I’ve just started medication at 42 years old. I bet I’ll be chugging coffee and energy drinks along with my meds soon enough.

      30 minutes is light work. I need a meg-a-roll of triple ply Charmin. 2 bottles of water to stay re-hydrated. Snacks, and a fresh book of Sudoku.

    Something that sucks but still helps me is taking caffeine breaks. I feel like ass during them but by the time I get to that point I don’t really feel much from what I think could reasonably be considered an alarming amount of caffeine, after a few to many days I’ll have some again and I get some benefit from it. Or at least don’t feel quite so crappy.

      Currently on week three of my ongoing break, mostly to lower tolerance as well. I like its effect but once you get too used to it, it loses the appeal…
