caffeine - little/no effect? - Page 2

FYI, per our data base at Poison Center, the amounts of caffeine in coffee/tea type beverages are as follows:

PRODUCT AMOUNT
COFFEE
brewed drip coffee 60-180 mg/5 oz cup
brewed percolator coffee 40-179 mg/5 oz cup
instant coffee 30-190 mg/5 oz cup
decaffeinated brewed coffee 2-5 mg/5 oz cup
decaffeinated instant 1-5 mg/5 oz cup
coffee
Nescafe-Classic(R) instant 63 mg/5 oz cup (Galasko,
coffee 1989)
Instant Coffee powder 57 mg/1 rounded teaspoonful
(1.5 g)
Espresso 100 mg/1 serving (1.5-2oz)
TEA
brewed commercial tea 20-90 mg/5 oz cup
brewed imported tea 25-110 mg/5 oz cup
instant tea 2-20 mg/5 oz cup
iced tea 67-76 mg/12 oz glass

I never have any problems with drinking caffeinated beverages myself. They don't keep me awake or make me jittery. I have, however, experienced nausea and anxiety from taking No Doz (caffeine tablets) back in college. I tried taking it while cramming for exams; I wouldn't advise it to anyone! The only other time I had any problem with caffeine was when I lived in Israel. I used to drink 10 or more cups of tea daily. On one Sabbath (everything is closed that day in Jerusalem), I ran out of tea bags. I developed a severe rebound headache from caffeine withdrawal.

I hardly ever drink coffee, but when I do go to Starbucks or something I can definitely feel it.

I don't ever feel caffeine...I'm 20y/o non smoker too...I drink coffee/espresso/tea because I like to. I can't use coffee or redbull to keep myself awake late at night, though I normally don't really have an issue with it. I actually think it's a good thing, though...I don't need stimulants to get me through the day.

My heart gets jumpy if I drink too much caffeine.... like a few cups of coffee mid-morning and then strong restaurant iced tea at lunch. It freaks me out, but doctor said it's normal.

I can't get to sleep until 5-6 am if I have caffeine after 6 pm.

Starbucks coffee is like crack compared to other coffees, but it's appreciated when crossing many time zones (jet lag).

does an increased heartrate and a feeling of light-headedness count as a buzz?
