Caffiene .. Do You have TOO much

I'm a cNA In a nursing home today for instance I'm working a 16hour shift I live on coffe and gum that is how I avoid becoming a smoker

I don't know if I in take too much caffiene since I am always drink coffee in the afternoon and in the morning...

I do not drink coffee that often because I have a hard time sleeping at night. Nevertheless, I like drinking coffee and I like it black with no sugar. I also like drinking tea, especially green tea and japanese tea but I also have a hard time sleeping. So I guess caffeine is not for me.

Like you I used to drink a lot of coffee, but as I got older my anxiety got very bad even to the point that I started having panic attacks. My Doctor thought it best that I stop all caffeine except for maybe a cup every once in a while. I still have bad anxiety, but the panic attacks are much less now.

themyl ..they say coffee in moderation is good for you..and one cup is certainly in moderation..I usually have 1 in the morning and one around 4 pm..my tired time..

Yes, this is good I think. Some people are drinking a lot of cups like me but I don't recommend that. The only good time to drink coffee is just in the morning and it would be better not to drink more than two cups.

I like a cup of coffe but I only allow myself to have one cup a day, its tea that I have a bit of an addiction to, I find a nice hot cup of tea is what relaxes me.

Yes, absolutely you can have too much, and earlier this year I did! I was sitting on my balcony one night, enjoying the sights and sounds of downtown Houston, and before I knew it, I downed an entire percolator pot of coffee. Now, usually that's not a problem, but minutes after, my heart started feeling weird. I started feeling panicked and like my heart was racing. I went to an Emergency Room and later found out I was having heart palpitations. The doctor said it was a combination of caffeine and stress. Since then, I've toned my caffeine intake down considerably. I work in the evenings, so I usually just have one small 8 oz. cup during that time. I'm glad you're now self-employed and don't have as much stress, because as I said, that + caffeine can be a bad combo!

I don't have too much caffine. I usually drink soda when I need the caffine bost as I'm not a fan of coffee usually. And I only have caffinated anything in the morning to lunch time any later I may have a problem with sleeping.

I've recently gotten an addiction to caffeine... I have big 16 ounce cups (almost 500ml) and when I have a coffee I like, both in the taste of the coffee, and the effect of the caffeine, I often have 3-4 of those in a day... that's 2 liters of coffee! Last night, I knew I had too much, and that my body was kinda fighting against it, my blood pressure and heart rate were way down, and I felt dizzy really easily. I need to stop, or at least just slow down, so that I don't get those effects... but the taste and the starter feel of the coffee is soooo good!

I don't have too much coffee....I don't think. When I drink instant coffee, I think I put about the equivalent of 2 servings of coffee in 8 ounces of water. So I guess I have about 2 cups a day. I don't have any ill effects from extra coffee like jitters, or shaking, or nervousness.

I admit, I probably do have too much caffeine, not only from coffee, but also from the amount of soda I drink. Unfortunately it's the only way for me to get through the day, especially at work. Probably the best sign that I am having too much caffeine is that if I don't have some for a few hours, I feel absolutely terrible and stressed out. It's weird but I guess the tolerance that I have build up helps me to actually relax when I do have caffeine. Makes it incredibly hard to quit though. I went a whole day without coffee or soda and had the worse head-rush whenever I stood up and terrible migraines. Curse coffee for being so tasty!!

Now who wouldn't sip in a cup of coffee ,i'm not that stressed out , i don't have any job to do , so i drink coffee twice a day ;)
