How come i get relaxed instead of pumped when i drink energy drinks?

Question

it happens with anything with lots of caffeine in it. like an iced cappuccino, or coffee, energy drinks.. i drink it, and then instead of being hyper and awake... i just like mellow out.. its soo wierd. maybe its because i drink coffee everyday and my body is so used to the caffeine. its like my fix or something, like WTH! any opinions will be great! thanks guys.

Answer 1

you've drank so much you've gotten immune to it.

that's what happened to me, so i just stopped drinking caffeine

so much better :]

Answer 2

Its the sugar. With sugar, you may get a temporary high, but then you come crashing back down.

Answer 3

I'm going to guess it's the same reason why some marijuana smokers feel hyper instead of mellow when they smoke.

Answer 4

it also can deal with how many hours sleep.

like theres no use in gettin energy or that pump that u would expect from those drinks if u barely have energy yourself.

another is eating. u'll normally feel like that after eatin then havin an energy or wat not.

but most of all-ur caffine intake could have gone overboard & caused u to have an immune effect

Answer 5

the same happens with me.

Answer 6

Do you suffer from ADD/ADHD

Stimulants react differently with people who have ADD/ADHD.

Answer 7

People react differently to sugar and caffine.  My kids are ADHD and sugar and caffine act like thier stimulant meds

(which bring them down!). On the other hand if they take night time cold meds, which make the average person sleep like a dead person, they are up all night! I am not saying you have ADHD, but your metabolism may just process it backwards.
