I can't handle coffee very well

This night I have drank two coffees. Both Americanos… From two different coffee shops.

I feel like my brain is too buzzed up.

I like feeling buzzed up but not enough to make me feel almost uncomfortable lol.

How does coffee affect you?

Like I’m thinking at a faster speed too lol. Or so it seems.

I’m having to tell my mind… Slow down.

Coffee can give me energy or make me feel tired, but I drink too much of it.

Planning to stay up all night?

Caffeine doesn’t affect me too much. I drink some daily though anyway. Especially in the morning.

How much do you drink on average per day?

I’m just planning to sleep whenever I fall asleep.

Atm it’s not easy to sleep even though it is quite late at night.

Are you planning to do an all nighter?

I drink 5-10 cups a day.

Yeah. I slept the entire day yesterday, so I’m up for the night.

How do you like your coffee? Perhaps you enjoy the taste.

I’m not the biggest fan of the taste but it certainly helps to make me more alert.

I do enjoy the taste. I like it with creamer (I usually buy sweet cream flavor). It’s tasty. :blush:

How do you normally like yours?

I like it with quite a lot of sugar and milk.

But if I feel the need to be really awake, I drink pure black Americano.

That does sound nice what you described

5 to 10 cups is a lot, yea.

But whatever rocks your boat :slight_smile:

How do you enjoy your coffee?

Where I live at Xmas Starbucks does this mint flavoured mocha with a red white stripy candy cane in it. I used to really enjoy that one…

I drink my coffee with a splash of regular milk or soy milk. No sugar and no sweetener.

We used to have 1 Starbucks in my town but it got replaced by another coffee shop that outbid them for the lease of the place.

So, I’m getting used to a life without Starbucks.

Yeah. I’m addicted to coffee. It’s my last addiction that I should tackle, but it’s one I like to procrastinate on…

Is it just a coincidence that so many schizophrenics I know drink coffee? Seems like a tendency that goes along with the disorder. I’m not sure if I count because I detest coffee but I do drink 2-4 cans of caffeinated soda a day. Coffee itself gives me… problems managing my digestive plumbing.

I started drinking more coffee when I started clozapine and felt tired all the time.

Personally, I think coffee can be beneficial in moderation.

Definitely, I think certain amounts are good for the heart right?

Yea I’m not too surprised lots of szs drink a bit of coffee. It’s perhaps to do with us feeling medicated. Coffee sort of helps us to feel a little less medicated, at least for a while. Or any caffeinated drink for that matter.
