Coffee drinking and Schizophrenia

My sleep has been pretty crap recently. All I do from 4am to about 10am is listen to music chain smoke and drink coffee. I did buy a vaper but I don’t think it’s working out too well!

I will continue to try it - been about a week now.

It’s been about the same length for me. Are you having cravings still?

I am still smoking roll ups as well. I have been trying to do half and half with a view to moving to vaping. It’s just mornings I cannot help but smoke rollies.

I don’t even know how to roll. It costs about $60 for a carton every ten days. I was spending way too much money. The vape works for me. Hope you can find it works for you. The temptation is too much if you have cigs in the house.

I have recently started drinking coffee. I take mine with a ton of creamer and Splenda (which is not actually calorie free). I’m trying to keep track of my calories in order to lose some weight, though, and creamer plus that much Splenda amounts to a lot of calories, so I need to stop.

Yea i drink 4-5 cups of coffee and smoke about pack a day, really helps with those negative symptoms

I used to drink a bunch of coffee when I was younger but anymore it gives me anxiety. But 1 cup does lift my mood and energy some.

I drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day and vape.

I drink one 12 cup pot of decaf coffee a day, plus about 4 cups of decaf coffee in the dining room at dinner. It doesn’t affect my energy or my sleeping at all. And, that’s the way I like it. I totally quit smoking cigarettes back in 2006.

Congrats on quitting! That’s my goal. I think i’m almost there.

I drink 1-4 cups a day and cape. Highly, highly, recommend vaping to quit smoking.

I love coffee, and I used to drink so much of it. I can’t, anymore, because it makes me anxious, manic, and gives me headaches.
I also used to smoke, but I quit that too, recently, for a lot of the same reasons.

Yea im cutting down on my coffee intake. Used to do several cups of really high end stuff, now im on the folgers lol But good job on quitting!

Thanks, and good luck to you!
How many cups a day are you at, right now?

try to keep it under 3. Really pushing myself but with also trying to get off nicotine, sometimes i get a cup instead of puff on my vape.

That’s pretty good.
Although, it’s probably better to focus on smoking first, then coffee, because smoking is much worse for you.

Yea very true :slight_smile:

I drink a ton of coffee and I smoke. I limit my coffee to a half pot a day or I get dizzy spells from too much caffeine. I’ve been taking Zyprexa for 21 years. After all these years it’s taking a toll. I take my medication at night before bed. Every morning I wake up feeling like I’ve been hit by a truck. My body feels like it’s under a lot of stress. If I skip a dose I don’t feel like this. I’m 41 I need to make some changes or I won’t live to see 50.
