I mean I am extreme in moods. I have been cussing all day. I drank some caffeine.■■■■.
I know it can cause alot of anxiety but not sure if it can cause psychosis. I wish I knew more. Maybe once I become a nurse practitioner I could tell you.

Drinking a strong coffee makes me feel euphoric/ certainly related more to my moods them psychosis but if I become euphoric I start to obsess about things and this leads psychosis. I find caffeine isn’t strong enough for that though unless I’m already becoming psychotic.
Googling it can cause psychosis in high amounts of caffeine. ■■■■.

Interesting I should look it up.
Careful on the caffeine intake, too much can cause psychosis because it increases dopamine in the brain

I drink too much coffee. I know I shouldn’t, but I started drinking it when I was about 7 years old.
Maybe. Caffeine intoxication can mimic mania. A difference being that the symptoms resolve following metabolism of the caffeine. Coffee may increase the excretion of the mood stabiliser lithium and blood level may fall. Some patients like to drink coffee to counteract the sedating effect of these meds.
One or perhaps two cups a day should be safe.

Today, I only had two cups of coffee, and that’s great for me. I try not to drink in the afternoon or evening.
That makes sense… I find coffee makes me feel better. I’m taking invega.
I’ve drank about ten cups of coffee a day for forty years. In the beginning it gave me a pretty good kick. I’d drink three cups of coffee, and drift through the morning in a pleasant reverie, and then in the evening I would be really depressed. I don’t get that effect from caffeine now. If I don’t get it I get depressed and I get a pounding headache. I sweat super easy, but that is also caused by alcohol, even if I haven’t drank in nineteen months. I think a lot of people who do any kind of stimulant get depressed when they can’t get their drug. Caffeine is a fairly mild addiction, as addictions go. It probably damages you in a number of ways, but it’s not as bad as alcohol or cigarettes.

Neighbors and maintenance people outside my window are going to have me killed. Guarantee the Hispanic ones will. One of them is cussing at me right now
You sound a lot like me when I was having a rough time. I had irrational fears about Venezuelans. They are probably not talking about you or they could be saying something nice. You never know.
