If I had severe mental illness I'd be immortal by now.

There can only be one. Or two. Maybe three. Four shoots espresso a day.

I have ADHD, and I drink 2-3 cups' worth of coffee every day.

I'm basically a vampire now.

Yesterday I drank a whole pot myself then had another cup or two. Keeps me in the game.

Where does that put me? Caffeine poisoning or immortality with no in between?

I've been self-medicating ADHD with multiple cups of coffee a day since I was 17. I'm in my early 30s now, and after getting on Vyvanse, have reduced then given up coffee. I realised that coffee was the reason for my anxiety which builds up towards the end of the day.

I reduced my coffee down to 1 espresso per day two months ago, and quit entirely two weeks ago. I'm still on stimulants, but Vyvanse treats ADHD much better and has fewer side-effects.

> Too much coffee reduced this positive effect

My stomach hates coffee at the moment :(. Too acidic. Not sure I’m ever going to be able to have it regularly.

>>dentem+m2
As a mentally ill vampire, I try to only feed on coffee drinkers.

Do you add whole milk to coffee? The casein and fat should help to reduce acidity and make it easier on the stomach.

If you can't do that, I've heard of people adding a sprinkle of baking soda as a buffer to black coffee. I'm not sure how much you'd need, probably just a tiny amount that you'd barely be able to taste.

How do you know you're not?

Do you mean 2-3 liters?

Well, I guess I have to die of something someday.

Haven’t tried the latter, will give it a shot. Thank you!
