I’ve read a lot of articles about how schizophrenics love coffee and cigarettes.
For me the caffeine helps out with my negative symptoms, and general lethargic feelings from my AP’s.

Hot or cold? Have you ever had country style sweet Ice tea?
Same here. I drink too much some mornings and get the jitters though.

Yes.
It causes issues.
After moving to a new house a couple days ago, I haven’t quite gotten back in a routine.
As a result, I forgot breakfast and drank two cups of coffee.
On my way to the grocery store I realized my symptoms were getting worse and I started freaking out.
I pulled over at a gas station, got something to eat (not gross for gas station food) and was fine after about ten minutes.
The trick is to eat real food with all that coffee.
Or just don’t be crazy,
Whatever works for you.

Awww “jitters” that’s a bummer.
I try to only have 2 strong cups in the morning, and 2 at night/evening. So 4 in total.
I’ve read the same thing.
I think it has to do with the mentally ill having more addictive personalities.
Also cigarettes and coffee are delicious.
Better combo than chocolate and peanut butter.

Why…I have to agree! 
Yeah a lot of sz’s (myself included) struggle with addiction.
But hey! At least I’m not passing out drunk in front of my neighbors anymore, right?!

My doctor and husband made me give up caffeine because my insomnia was out of control. So now you all know why I’ve been so cranky the past couple weeks.

My insomnia has been effecting me alot the last few weeks
I’ve had some pretty serious substance abuse issues, too.
Really, I don’t miss drugs anymore (clearly, I don’t count weed),
But my life would be miserable if I couldn’t wake up to hot coffee and a secret cigarette.

Yeah I don’t smoke green anymore. I get the “noids” big time.
And I gave up alcohol a long time ago too.
Just coffee and cigarettes for me. Nice and legal lol.
I tell my friend it’s the “writer’s diet.” hahaha.

Green does me the same. Tobacco and caffeine will get me through life I suppose.

5 spoons of whole bean coffee in a French press (2 cups) every morning. Sometimes il have another. I don’t drink as much coffee as I used to but I drink a lot in the morning. I love coffee! It gets me out of my “depressed morning drugged drag”
