Why does it seem that caffeine has no effect on me...?

[thawolfman]

Been awake since yesterday @ about noon.

I did take a ~3ish hour nap last night from 5p-8p, but that was it.

Took a couple caffeine pills (200mg I believe) about an hour ago, in an attempt to get a little extra kick, but I notice nothing. It seems that no matter what I do I just get no effect's from anything.

Even if I get a good amount of sleep, which for me is anywhere from 6-8 hours, nothing helps me out.

Coffee, soda, etc. Nothing. I only drink a can or two of soda a day at most, never drink coffee. I don't make it a habit of taking those caffeine pills either, only when I'm desperate for a kick.

I do smoke though, could that have something to do with it?

Because you're an addict.

caffeine only makes me pee a lot, it doesn't make me alert at all. I once drank a whole cup of coffee and then fell alseep for 10 hours... Maybe for the same reason I'm immune to poison ivy?

Trust me, the caffeine has an effect. I went through 23 years of my life thinking that caffeine didn't affect me either, but it does. I now have a heart problem (nothing serious, really, just annoying), and if I have even one or two sodas, I can feel it. And trust me, one or two caffeinated beverages a day is enough to get your body accustomed to caffeine and lessen its effects.

up your dosage
caffine really didn't have much affect on me either when i was in hs and had a lot of it.....it would take me eating half a box of chocolate covered esspresso beans to notice anything...( a large box)

caffeine will prevent you from getting sleepy, but if you're tired already, it wont do anything.

Smokers need twice as much caffiene to have an effect on them.
