Caffeine Overdose?!


Question: Caffeine Overdose!?
Today i had to wake up extra early and took a no-dose at about 8AM!. i hardly felt the energy!. Later, at about 11:30 i drank about 75% of a monster energy drink!. I still hardly felt the energy!. Right befor i left work, i took a no dose (about 5:30) then i took my last one at about 6pm and now i feel extremely nervous, jumpy and my heart is racing!. I am almost convinced i am having a caffiene overdose and i am wondering if im at risk for death (more than 70) Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I've read research on caffeine!. Overdose of caffeine on a single day does not have any long term effects!.

People vary greatly on their sensitivity to caffeine, so if you experience unpleasant symptoms, monitor the amount you are using and cut back the dosage!.

Caffeine takes about 20 minutes to begin to work!. The half-life of caffeine is about 4 hours!.

No-Doz is 200 mg per tablet!. According to Wiki, 3/4 of the drink is about 120 mg!. http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Monster_Ene!.!.!.

So you had about 100 mg of caffeine in your system when you took the energy drink!. So there was only a little "stacking" in the morning, but substantial dose stacking by 6 pm!.

If I read you right and you took 200 mg at 5:30 pm, then again at 6 pm, that was probably more than you need!.

I recommend that you wait longer than 30 minutes before determining if you need/want more caffeine!. Wait 45 minutes or an hour!.
