Nothing wrong with caffeine if you're drinking under the RDA and you don't have side-effects. The problem with energy drinks is the sugar, mostly.
Black coffee, no sugar. |

Night shifts - I'm not sure how well it's regulated as a supplement, but melatonin can help. (I had it as a prescription antidepressant for awhile and oh my god it killed my insomnia, but it's not generally prescribed in the UK) |

"Coffee
Switching one source of caffeine for another’s probably not the answer
Yep that’s not a route I’m willing to take "
Perhaps you are eating more carbs? I find a carb heavy meal is always comforting but makes me very drowsy.
If you want something to drink that is not as boring as water I can recommend Vieve Protein water. Or perhaps try Lemon and Ginger tea if you want a hot drink.
My mojo has deserted me recently and I have to really force myself to take my dog for a walk but always feel better when I have. Sexercise would always be better though - my drug of choice  |

If your heart's doing "weird shit" you really need to speak to a doctor  under 400mg of caffeine per day should not be causing heart problems in healthy people, so it suggests either an underlying health condition or some other trigger. |

Maybe talk to your doctor. That seems like too much side effect given the dose you're talking about. |

I think you’ll still find there is plenty wrong with caffeine even if you’re drinking under the rda it still ups blood pressure etc best avoiding it as much as possible and drinks that are sugar free just have other bad shit in them too replace the sugar |

Nah, it's arse. Under 400mg in normal, healthy people is fine:
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2017.04.002
"When the total body of evidence was evaluated and when study quality, consistency, level of adversity, and magnitude of response were considered, the evidence generally supports that consumption of up to 400 mg caffeine/day in healthy adults is not associated with overt, adverse cardiovascular effects, behavioral effects, reproductive and developmental effects, acute effects, or bone status." |

I mean (not diagnosing) sounds like it might be anxiety and most doctors aren't completely in the dark ages?

Absolutely right - science is a process of constantly disproving theories as we become more correct over time, as opposed to always being 100% sure that we're 100% correct.
But I would point out that this systematic review is MORE LIKELY to be correct - the best evidence humanity has so far produced points to there being nothing wrong with caffeine (in moderation). |

As you say, you're not a scientist.
Studies are designed to minimise these problems. Even if you think it doesn't happen or can't be done, that's actually how they do it or science would be meaningless. |

"Still seemed like an easier thing to deal with than dropping the smoking "
So, I ask of smokers to do one of two things:
1) Please, PLEASE stop smoking. It's the single best thing you could do for your health.
2) If you won't stop smoking, please ensure that you are a full-body donor. Your body would be useless to medicine but it's very useful for research, and smokers die of some truly horrific diseases that we still need to study and understand better. |

I get that and obviously to a certain point it’s accurate not arguing with that at all just stating some people’s bodys react different than others
So no way it could be 100% |

I was boarder-line diabetic
So cut sugar out of my tea and coffee
Ate less chocolate and more water
Takes awhile to get used to but it does work
Feel so much better and even lost weight which is always good

I get that and obviously to a certain point it’s accurate not arguing with that at all just stating some people’s bodys react different than others
So no way it could be 100%"
Nothing is ever 100%. Medical studies are usually done to a 99% confidence interval.
This is a piece of information which is substantially better than making it up. It's been tested, verified, etc, and controlled.
Would you rather "this is the best we can know at the moment" or "it's not 100% so we don't know anything?"
Nothing is ever 100%. Ever. |

"Nah I’ll be happy dropped out a plane when I’m dead, I’ll bury myself
My gran is near 90 and smoked all her days and is still going stronger than some people I know in my age range "
I wish her the best of health, but beating the odds doesn't mean the odds are wrong
Don't bother quitting caffeine. Lots of hassle for no benefit, with the possible exception of people suffering from insomnia. |

"I was boarder-line diabetic
So cut sugar out of my tea and coffee
Ate less chocolate and more water
Takes awhile to get used to but it does work
Feel so much better and even lost weight which is always good
"
Been tested a few times for diabetes and they were negative, I completely stopped drinking soft drinks after a five mile walk in Miami with only a bottle of Dr Pepper and now consume at least 2 litres of water a day. The monster was like my morning coffee to me
I’m putting on weight but that’s down to the lack of gigging which kept me fit |

"Best thing you can do is stay away from energy drinks.
They are a cancer, mind altering ingredients that make you want more.
Why do you think red bull is a massive empire. Addiction
To me coffee is very much the same "
Maybe true. But these energy drinks have taken over. Ads are everywhere for them which drives that addiction.
Didn't have them years ago. Even worse is them concentration shots.
No need |

Aww I bought one of those once!
I’d a sip and nearly threw up so I gave it to someone else so I could watch their reaction
Worth it |

"Its the lack off caffeine I would guess it can take weeks to get over it.
Good luck though I have never been able to kick it. "
Tell you one thing that’s changed drastically, my temper. I’m no where near as bad, I’ve not torn my manager a new asshole once this week when normally it’s 2/3 times a day |

"Water, exercise, nutrition, more sleep, sunlight
This definitely!.)it takes a couple weeks but you will feel much better.. "
Water - Already 2 litres a day
Exercise - If I could get gigging again it’d help
Nutrition- umm Does monster munch count?
Sleep - I usually get a decent nights sleep
Sunlight - I live in Scotland, it’s like a myth up here |
