Edit: and from what I’m seeing online, depending on some factors like the type of beans used, four espresso shots could end up around 300mg. 3/4 of the daily reccomended limit in 30 minutes is going to be tough on most people, especially to someone looking at it “as a treat” instead of just their regular coffee/caffeine for the day.
I work in tech and I can’t drink alcohol, so I’m no stranger to caffeine. It’s one of a few vices available to me. But I’m not going to pretend that my worst of drinking 64oz of coffee, a caffeinated soda or two, and a caffeinated mint is normal. Or that wouldn’t make me feel ill if I did it all in 30 minutes even with my tolerance.
this is wild to read because many days i literally need a 200mg pill to be physically able to get out of bed, and that is literally all the effect it has on me. If i take 400mg all at once i, like, feel a bit nervous and jittery for a few hours…
Also i’m not sure how accurate what you say can be, because my pills are as stated 200mg and intended to be taken whole, if it was really that big of an issue then surely they’d be 50mg each and you’d be instructed to portion it out over a few hours?
Holy shit, I can’t be reading that right. FOUR espresso shots?
The issue isn’t your anxiety, it’s your completely unhinged idea of what a cozy little coffee is.
That’s close to the FDAs safe reccomended daily limit for caffeine, of fucking course you’re gonna spike your anxiety.
It depends on your tolerance, really. I drink about 48-64oz of coffee a day and it doesn’t have any negative effects on me.
But I do have ADHD, so my body’s response to stimulants is different.
Can confirm. 30mg of Adderall makes me want a nap
I can watch my heart rate actually lower when I have my first cup (from low 70s to high 50s)
For real, sleeping with a quiet mind is so good.
i actually misread the comic as “four little sips” at first.
I learned the hard way that my limit is one and a half. The half means “sometimes, a second shot is fine, sometimes NOT”

No it’s not…? Like not even close. The FDA safe limit is 400 mg. So 4 shot sis like half the daily recommended.
At 256 mg of caffeine it’s slightly over the single serving recommendation. Which is 200.
And that’s just the recommended. The safe limit is 700-800g a day.
Seriously unless your have a caffeine sensitivity 300-400 mg a day should literally be nothing to most people over a 12 hour period.
The comic says in 30 minutes.
