Drinking caffeinated drinks makes some people feel angry, anxious or irritable, but did you know that caffeine can induce psychosis in otherwise healthy people?

I think maybe it causes psychosis when you overdose on it.

When I’m ill, I can’t drink caffeine because of how worse my symptoms become. But when I’m well, I can drink 300mg a day with no issue.

I have a drug included psychosis,
And i have been a drug user.
I Can drink 1-2 Cop coffee a day, and i dont feel nothing
But over 3 Cops or energy drink i Can feel something happens, i hear voices everyday and if drink to mutch caffeine the voices get louder and i will start takling to myself. So it have an effect on me.
But not like drugs its only a mild effect.
I Think in large doses it Can, but not in small doses.
But its not the best thing to drink, if you have schizophrenia, biopolar, or drug included psychosis
But in small doses its almost harmless.

I haven’t had issues with it but some people can’t tolerate it. It’s a good idea to limit intake because there’s always a first time.

In large enough doses, caffeine can induce psychosis in otherwise healthy people.

Also some people are allergic to caffeine and they also can become psychotic even after consuming a small amount of caffeine.

Is caffeine bad when you mix different types of beverages?

I’ve drank ten cups of coffee a day for over 45 years. In the beginning I could get pretty spacey on it, but I never became psychotic because of coffee. Now I just drink it out of habit.

You can get very sick on too much caffeine. We all respond differently but like most things moderation is good. Some people it actually stimulates sleep…to me that is weird but it is known.

Yes I find coffee makes me tired. I used to have three cups in a morning but I’d be needing a nap
So now I just have two cups in the morning.

Caffeine just makes me nervous now, it doesn’t even wake me up. So I just drink mint tea instead now

When I was taking 3mg of Risperdal, I had to drink huge amounts of caffeine to counteract the lethargy the antipsychotic brought on. I mean in excess of a pot a day. It was necessary to be able to function.
But in more recent years, as my dosage has gone done. I’ve been able to cope with less caffeine. Still have to drink at least 3 cups a day. And even when I was drinking huge amounts of coffee, it never caused hallucinations.

I am on 3mg Risperdal now and if I don’t drink 2 strong cups of coffee in the morning I’ll sleep all day.
