Help me get this caffeine out of my system!!

[sarahrjm]

OK, so this morning My boss had a breakfast get together/meeting thing. I felt as if I was going to cave so I decided to just sip a cup of coffee. this was at 9am, it is now almost 4. My heart is still racing and I have the really bad jitters!! I MEAN REALLY BAD. I have been drinking a ton of water. I am really uncomfy :(

Anything I can do?

or do I just need to let it pass.

My heart is POUNDING!

It will pass. Have you eaten anything?

[RawHeaven]

Green smoothie as soon as you can.

Handful of sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds may help too - to ground you.

[oai]

i agree. it will pass. :) tough it out. if you're jittery as in hyper jittery, consider exercising it out as well. sweat it out. :p

if you're feeling really sick though, make sure someone is watching you.

Caffeine has a half life of 7 hours. Technically, you can't ever not have it in your system unless you never drank it in your life.

1/2 = 7 hours
1/4 = 14
1/8 = 21
1/16 = 28

So, It'll take a day. It isn't that bad.

I had a similar experience with a cup of green tea a day ago. It will pass in a day. I hope you get some sleep tonight.

Caffeine works by restricting your blood vessels, increasing heart rate slightly, but most importantly it is an antagonist to the neurotransmitters that make you feel tired.

Get outside and MOVE!


ditto + run it off / jump rope / bike / etc

[sarahrjm]

This is really sad to say.. but I think I used to like this Jittery feeling! :eek: I kind of remember it, however it was not this severe!

Well - Now I wont ever crave coffee again.

Coffee doesn't give me the jitters. For some odd reason that I can't explain it makes me TIRED. Strange.

[jurence]

by restrict, i meant constrict. Are you feeling any better?

[sarahrjm]

I am feeling better! thank goodness!!! thank you everyone! you kinda coached me through! I thought I was going to have a heart attack! I did not sleep that well, very tired now!!

[jurence]

You could make a raw foodist think they are going to die by giving them a zantrex. That crap is loaded with caffeine (well, the direct derivitive) as is that 9 hour power (It says it doesn't have caffeine, which it doesn't, it has the extract of the leaf of which caffeine is derived).

Yeah, caffeine, I don't want to try it now.

[sarahrjm]

dont jurence!! dont!!

That's how your body is healing -- using its energy to get rid of the coffee rather than for other things. In other cases, the adrenal glands to into overdrive. Have you had a lot of coffee in your life or not so much?? Just curious. Because my mom -- before quitting coffee -- said that coffee would relax her but wake her up. She felt tired/relaxed with the coffee, dead/angry without.

[jurence]

She felt angry without coffee? Maybe it was because she was tired and cranky :P

Ugh, the first two days I felt mildly sick, then felt great, saturday it felt like i had the flu and slept for 12 hours, then sunday i felt great, today i was extremely exhausted and had a minor headache, spiked back up to awake, and have a HUGE ass pimple on my neck that hurts like a mother. I popped it, it was gross. My face broke out with REALLY nasty pimples, like the ones that are projectile and thick. This doesn't make sense, toxins shouldnt be released via pimples, pimples are a result of pore clogging, right?
