Interesting. Always had exactly the opposite with caffeine. Could never tell any effects except for the nice refreshing taste. Normally have 2 cups with breakfast, but can't tell any difference if I skip it (e.g. when travelling).
- reaperman 3y agoI can't drink any caffeine either. I'm a fairly large guy, but even 1/4th cup of coffee at 6:00AM causes the same problems - my Apple Watch starts complaining that I have high HR, I get anxiety that blocks me from doing productive work, and my sleep schedule gets completely screwed up.
- colechristensen 3y agoFor me I strongly believe it is other alkaloids in coffee and similar plant products which I’m particularly sensitive to. Artificially caffeinated beverages have much less of a negative effect than coffee. And coffee preparation method makes a significant difference as well. Espresso is better than drip coffee which is better than cold brew.
- kerkeslager 3y ago> For me I strongly believe it is other alkaloids in coffee and similar plant products which I’m particularly sensitive to. This does seem to match my experience. Yerba mate doesn't produce the same reaction in me as coffee, despite having more caffeine (and no L-theanine, which could be a confounding factor when comparing with tea).
