Caffeine - Manic then Crash??

Posted by PM80 on March 24, 2005, at 14:14:59

Does anyone ever get a bit manic then kinda crash after drinking a lot of caffeine? Not necessarily super depressed crash, but exhausted crash since the high was too high? Does this happen to all people, not just BP people?

Yes.. I do the same thing.

If I go to Starbucks and drink a frappucino, I am flying HIGH (nearly euhporic) for a few hours, then I crash and am totally exhausted.

I can do this if I drink a WHOLE lot of coffee but I generally stick to one half cup a day or a cup of green tea.

But I know the feeling. I do the same thing.

Boy, do I miss Starbuck's Iced mocha coffee with whipped cream on top. The last time I had one it sent me on a panic attack that landed me in the hospital. So, now I'm afraid of it. What a whimp I am! I want one! Fondly, Phillipa
