Why doesn't caffeine work for me?

Question

I have tried almost every kind of beverage with caffeine. I do drink soda very often, and one drink i drink a lot of is Jolt, but it never wakes me up. I can drink 2 red bulls then fall asleep 30 minutes later. Even if i drink a couple cups of coffee, i dont get any effect, other than the one i was in before i drank it.

the only thing that seems to be able to keep me awake if i want to stay awake late at night is my determination.

Answer 1

Curtis, me too. I drink coffee a lot and it doesn´t work.

Have a nice day!

Answer 2

Maybe you've built up a resistance to it.

From the sounds of it, you drink a lot of caffeine, so maybe over time you've gotten a huge tolerance level for it.

Answer 4

If you drink it all the time your body will get used it and it will lose its effect. Maybe you shld try not to drink caffeine f a while then start again

Answer 5

Do you consume caffeine all the time? Your body eventually gets used to it and adapts which weakens the effect. I had a friend in school that drank at least 2 pots (yes pots) of coffee each morning. He was always pretty calm, not wired or bouncing off the walls because he was used to it.

I try my best to avoid caffeine so I can get restful sleep at night. When I do have a soda or Excedrin (which has caffeine) I'm usually wired and jittery the whole day.

If you're looking for the buzz, you might try laying off the caffeine for a couple of months so your body gets used to it NOT being in your system all the time.
