I take haloperidol and trintellix. Sometimes i drink an energy drink and go for a nap. On Invega I used to feel caffeine quite bit, but now, nothing. If i overdose on caffeine trying to feel something, I get only the negative effects. Anyone else cant feel the effects of caffeine?

I take big doses of aps, which tranquilize me.
Well I used to take antihistamine APs and they drowsed me, I am not really drowsed on haloperidol, just coffee doesnt do its job anymore
I drank so much coffee that I didn’t feel it anymore, so I switched to caffeine pills. Much more convenient. When they put me on Haldol I did not feel the effects of caffeine too. Some of those AP’s have that effect. I’ve been drinking a lot of green tea for the L-theanine. I think it helps. Green tea also has a substantial amount of caffeine.
I will try green tea, thanks!

Drink more coffee.
It helped me when I was on 800mg seroquel.
I did become dependent though -
I still drink 4 cups a day and headaches when I don’t get enough.
The problem is i drank once 3 energy drinks and just felt anxious that I had to take xanax, I dont get this energized high anymore…
For me I wasn’t trying to get the buzz or high from caffeine.
I don’t think it is / was possible for me.
I just needed to not be sedated.
So a lot of coffee was just to keep me awake and able to work.
Caffeine really affects me. I can’t really take it anymore. I’m too sensitive to it. I’m on Abilify.
Before I was on meds, a double shot espresso used to give me a sense of euphoria. But that feeling is gone on meds.
I drink coffee all day long. I was planning to give it up but decided that it’s okay to have 1 addiction which isn’t too harmful. Except for your teeth maybe.
Caffeine doesn’t affect me like it used to before APs.
I’m down on my coffee consumption.
Sometimes one cup of regular coffee is all I’ll have.
Ive just gone on the Haldol funnily enough, for the past 3 weeks - and by god, i do need a filter coffee during the day cos if it. I think its cos i aint got a tolerance yet.
Take a break from caffeine.
Seems like your body is used to it.
I can’t feel any effects from caffeine either. The only time I’ve ever felt effects from caffeine was when I used to go to the University of Providence and get some free coffee from their library but I don’t know what kind of coffee it was. It used to energize me after a few small cups so then I’d go to the university gym and use the elliptical for an hour or more.
Funny I am on a low dose of Invega and caffeine pills and energy drinks do next to nothing.
Coffee excites me and makes me randy, i always masturbate after it. I cant have it.
I drink very strong instant coffee and it has no stimulating effect no matter how much I drink most of the time.
