Is caffeine a placebo? Sometimes when I'm tired as shit

>>8313497
I know it's real, I just assume some people are more tolerant than others. I can have a whole 350 mg in one drink and not feel anything, but my girl friend will have a heart attack if she has half a monster.

I've heard it takes more caffeine to make an extroverted person wired as opposed to an introverted person, which requires much less.

Are you an extrovert, OP?

Some days a red bull welds my eyes open. Other days I take 1 g of caffeine and fall asleep 15 minutes later. Most refreshing sleep I ever got, by the way.

If you want guaranteed energy, obviously amphetamines are the way to go. If you are over 18, go to your local pharmacy and ask for Bronkaid. You'll show your ID and pay $10. Try two, or four, and see how you feel.

Do extroverts even use 4chan

You probably built up a tolerance for it so it isn't as affective as it once was. Tolerance is a bitch.

You have to drink it before you get tired and once you get addicted it stops helping with staying awake.

Obviously not. Are you retarded? Search Google Scholar.

I agree with you OP.

I have a cup of coffee in the morning but I have tried these drinks before and they make no difference to me at all.

Went out one night go-karting, not allowed to drink beers, so we got tanked up on Red Bull. Must have had about 10 cans during the evening, NOTHING!

I'm beginning to think people imagine it.

I spent my entire childhood pretty much isolated from caffeine. I have my fist coffee and started drinking it in my twenties. I went a little overboard at first instead if slowly building up a tolerance and I would get a little fucked up and weird muscle spasms. It was like really mild cocaine at first but has tapered off since then. It would make me confident, happy, and talkative even though I was usually none of those things so I would drink a lot before meetings or social stuff at work. I've also never felt anything from energy drinks or red bulls specifically. Only coffee has given me these effects.

Yes, they just pretend to be autistic introverts because if you go on 4chan and say "I regularly post on 4chan and i have friends and a girlfriend." people will either call you a lying autist or a normalfag.

In my experience coffee made at home will have way more caffeine than an energy drink whereas coffee I'll buy has nothing.

Also the people in here going "lol durr ur making it up" are absolutely retarded.

there is a misconception about the effect of caffeine that it will "wake you up." caffeine is a stimulant, but the main property is that it prevents you from getting tired by blocking some receptor in your brain.

it makes me sleepy

Because no one can ever be both.

The only way I know it works on me is that any amount of caffeine will send me to the bathroom. I took three dumps last night after two of these.
Also I heard some shit about how only 10% of the population isn't effected by caffeine. Maybe you're part of the ten percent?

Redline. If you drink one of these and it does nothing for you, you're not human.

This is the only drink that has actually made me physically ill to the point of vomiting. It didn't taste bad, but apparently you're only supposed to drink half of one of these things and I pounded the whole thing. Felt like taking on the world for about 15 minutes before I spewed by guts right outside of fucking TGI Fridays.

As for OP's question, I think it's more of a routine thing. When I wake up for work, I feel like a sack of ass until I have a cup or two of coffee. I can pound redbulls all morning and still feel like shit if it's not coffee, despite consuming more caffeine.
