Ya, it's one of the ingredients of Excedrin, which is by far the best headache medicine you can get over the counter

No, you're likely just addicted. You should try cutting back severely for a while until your tolerance fades (10 days of hell, probably best to do while cutting anyways) and then switch to caffeine use more sparingly, right before a heavy workout, when you could actually most benefit from it.

What Caffeine Actually Does to Your Brain

Caffeine addiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nah, I drink a diet dr pepper here and there. Maybe one every two or three days just to taste something besides water. Ill try a coffee just to experiment with it but drinking caffeine has never made me feel energetic and alert the way people talk about. I'm sure there are some supplements with giant megadoses that'll work in some way. I took xenedrine years ago and that shit worked but it had ephedrine in it.

Caffeine is also used as a treatment for headaches even without caffeine withdrawal
It was a rather tongue-in-cheek comment. Doesn't come across as well via text.

Caffeine pill. Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Ibuprofen (or aspirin). Buy Generics brand bottles. Enjoy Excedrin at 1/4th the cost.

I mean the type of medicine, not the brand itself. They sell off brand excedrin with the same ingredients that I buy. I just didn't want to list out the ingredients.

I stopped drinking soda for several months and then had a monster. I felt like I was about to shit and piss my pants at any moment, all the while talking extremely fast and loud.

I definitely have some round in my back, and I'm only pulling like 335-355 x2-3. I can't even imagine trying to pull 800+ without rounding.

Ok nm, I'm not immune to caffeine after all, just the weak ass doses in a diet soda. Tried a large black coffee this morning and definitely felt that shit. Didn't taste "good" but I understand why people love it slightly less than crack.

That shit will keep you going on an empty stomach man. Worked wonders for me personally.

I ate ice cream for breakfast today.

Still losing weight.

Sugar is the devil.
I also had ice cream for breakfast: half a pint of Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Swirl. So good! Then I went to a buffet for dinner! They had 7 different kinds of pies. SEVEN.

I cycled 42 miles this morning and had chicken/rice/broccoli for 2 meals and scrambled eggs and salsa the other meal.

You'll pay for it in the back end though. I had to stop drinking so much black coffee with an empty stomach. The cramps were getting genuinely painful.

Careful with the real coffee. That mess is jaguar piss. Turn you into an Aztec God, I tell you whut.

Pay for it in the end? On 100mg of caffeine a day?

I don't see how that is at all possible, but enlighten me?

Pretty sure he's talking about shitting
Does caffeine make people shit? I've never experienced the so called "pwo dump."

Last I read, doctors claimed it wasn't the caffeine that made people go from coffee, because decaf has the same effect in people who shit after drinking coffee.

I drink tons of black coffee (5+ cups a day, on work days) and it gives me explosive, liquidy shits for sure. Fortunately, I generally hit the gym first thing in the morning when I've only got a single cup in me, so it's not a problem. If I know I'm going to the gym later in the evening, I generally lay off the coffee or else I feel like I'm going to anally erupt when lifting.
