Since I quit nicotine I can tolerate coffee ☕

So far anyway.

I’m able to have multiple cups a day without feeling “hungover” the following day like I used to.

Very interesting. Never thought about interactions.

Too much caffeine is bad, for me its the meds that make me hungover

Did you put yourself on a waiting list for a psychiatrist yet?

I asked AI about nicotine and caffeine interaction:

As for the interaction between nicotine and caffeine, both are central nervous system (CNS) stimulants and can increase a person’s heart rate and produce stimulation and arousal45. Combining these two substances may enhance these effects4. Interestingly, nicotine doubles the rate at which the body depletes caffeine because it interferes with the body’s ability to absorb and utilize caffeine5. This is why smokers may need more coffee to get the same buzz as a non-smoker5. When a smoker quits and consumes the same amount of caffeine, they may feel much more jittery5.

I don’t need one they said they can’t help me anyways, I am lowering my risperidone with family Dr. I went down to 5mg from 6mg.

maybe cause you got more energy now? the hills and valleys of caffiene (not neccisarily a bad thing) are easier to recover from? Wishing you the best bro! i hope your health continues to improve you seem to be working hard at it!

Interesting, might be some interaction between the two.
