Too much caffeine = paranoia?

I had a red bull and two cokes today. Much more caffeine than i normally drink. And im starting to feel paranoid. Does anyone else experience this?

Too much caffeine would make it hard for me to sleep

I don’t know that I experienced full fledged paranoia, but when I first started taking caffeine pills to stay awake, I did notice an uptick in anxiety/nervousness. I started taking L-Theanine to counteract for a bit. I have since abandoned L-Theanine, since side effects of caffeine pills seem to have lessoned over time.

I used to get angry and psychotic when drinking coffee and it was a bad experience. Maybe because I switched to instant I haven’t had that affect.

Why do you take caffeine pills? I guess its basically the same as red bull

Because I can’t drink regular pop very often for caffeine because I’m diabetic. I would have to buy diet if I was going to drink it at all. I don’t like coffee or tea. But caffeine is useful for me staying awake during the day and not taking naps. If I dont take my caffeine pills, I often end up napping.

In my case it disrupts my moods. In fact, since I lowered my caffeine intake to zero, I am no longer aggressive or crying and my violent thougths have faded away. For me it was stopping caffeine or taking a higher dose of Zyprexa and not being able to go to university. Since I am not sleepy on this combo (10mg Zyprexa 10mg Abilify), I do not complain.

I don’t get paranoia from caffeine but if I consume too much of it, I get a racing heart.

Caffeine doesn’t affect me much. I’ve had up to 1000mg caffeine in a day and I just felt spaced out a little bit but not even hyper. Lately I take 2 220mg (440mg) caffeine pills first thing in the morning to prevent caffeine withdrawal
