kelel01 1 #1 March 22, 2005 Caffeine is my master, and I am its bitch. Today I bow to its awesome power, as I sit here with a blinding headache. I tried tricking my body with Sprite, thinking it might somehow confuse carbonation with caffeination, but to no avail. I only have to do this for one day, and it sucks. I know my mom kicked caffeine for good, and my friends who had babies did for 9 months. HOW DID THEY DO THAT?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bertusgeert 1 #3 March 22, 2005 I'm no nutritional-biochemist or anything, but doesn't Sprite contain a lot of caffeine as well? Or did you drink the no caffeine version? I tried to do that to myself with coke, drinking a can every day before at 11, on the way to algebra in high school. I then quit after a year, and nothing happened. I am now drinking coffee every morning, but the mornings I don't it doesn't do anything. Maybe i'm still to young? Maybe its psychological? Anyhow, hope you can fight the withdrawal! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelel01 1 #5 March 22, 2005 I'm fightin' it . . . but I'm weakening. But no, at least in my neck of the woods, you can't get Sprite with caffeine. It's all caffeine free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildcard451 0 #6 March 22, 2005 I gave up caffeine for a while once, because of the simple fact that after a quad espresso I could still fall right asleep. After a couple of months, I came back to it and started the addiction all over again. Now, I live on it. It also helps that I LOVE the taste of coffee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites windcatcher 0 #7 March 22, 2005 mmmmm, caffeine. Actually, I need to switch back from coffee to green tea. I can't fall asleep as well when I drink coffee...I hate being tired Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...
