[@jaimezozobrado1142]

@@BattousaiHBr caffeine is arguably the most important ingredient in pre-workout. There are other ingredients that may help with pump and concentration, but its caffeine that keeps you going. The only reason to take a premade preworkout without caffeine is if you're working out a few hours before sleeping. Otherwise, if you're buying preworkout without caffeine, you're pretty much just wasting your money and being a sucker to either advertising or simply a bad product. The biggest advantage of having a bag of caffeine is allowing you to control the measurement of caffeine, instead of an estimated amount removed from a source such as a coffee bean or even a premade preworkout mix. I take preworkout sometimes and I don't know if that 1 serving is scooping exactly the perfect ideal ratio of whatever the serving is suppose to be. For example, if 1 serving scoop was suppose to be 200mg of caffeine and 100mg of everything else, I don't know if I scooped up 150mg of caffeine and 150mg of everything else.

Funny that you consider negligence (while dealing with dangerous objects or substances) to not be stupidity. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed would agree.

When I was in a worse place mentally, I purposefully overdosed on caffeine pills after just one made me feverish. It was an odd impulse and I still don’t get why I did it. I took two more in the morning, four more at lunch, and eight more a few hours after that, re-dosing whenever my symptoms eased off. 2-4 left me dizzy, nauseous, and shaking all over. After I took 8, the nausea + my inability to stop my muscles from contracting resulted in me vomiting all the water out of my body. Sometimes my abdomen would stay clenched for so long that I would get lightheaded from a lack of oxygen, because I couldn’t inflate my lungs. If my parents hadn’t found the bottle of caffeine pills hidden in my tissue box and taken me to the ER, I would have died of either dehydration or seizures. I get weird when I’m reminded of it. Like now. Consider this a cautionary tale, I guess. Don’t be a dumbass and poison yourself just because you think the poison’s nonlethal. Anything can be lethal given the right circumstances.

I once went to the hospital just from the noradrenaline alone caused by a panic attack caused by stress of tests at the university. I never had a panic attack before, my heart rate increased without reason and I got worried and went driving to the hospital (not a wise idea, but still, I was driving when it happened). They ended up injecting rivotril (aka benzodiazepine) on my veins to calm me down. I ended up losing the test obliviously, I couldn't drive after being sleepy from it. So I got up from the hospital, not in a sane mind, walked out, and ended up sleeping on the car. I don't know why they dispensed me, I guess they didn't knew I came by driving. The car was parked without the hand brake and I almost crushed a person that leaned on the car. That was stupid, don't lean on others cars, you never know if they are parked correctly, and it only needs a gentle push to crush someone, I woke up from their cursing, even on rivotril I couldn't have a deep sleep. All of that without abusing caffeine, but I got the same secondary effects described on the video.

I went other times to that hospital, they put things on you, and sometimes leave you alone in a waiting room. Your doctor obviously has to dispense you. I mean, you could just walk up and get out. Specially since there was just a door, no security or anything, it was a door that opens from the outside. If someone enters and leave it open, you can get out, as simple as that.

For heavy stimulant overdoses(cocaine/amphetamines),the first line of treatment is IV diazepam(a benzodiazepine). I would imagine the same could be done for a severe caffeine OD since benzos rapidly reduce electrical activity in the brain. They basically reverse the effects of stimulants. Although at a dosage like the one he took I could imagine additional treatments might still be necessary.

[@shad0wVA]

At such a high dosage though, benzos can only occupy the receptors for a few hours at most before tapering off. In heavy overdoses like caffeine at that amount, you're only adding more byproducts that will put more strain on the liver as the enzymes ( Cytochrome P450) are constantly working to try and metabolise it which could cause further damage to the liver, renal system (worst case scenario) or even have less effectiveness. I'd hedge a bet and say that certain stimulants have a very short half and are excreted quite quickly from the body, and thus drugs like benzos are applicable when given through an IV You make a good point saying that it could be applicable to a smaller scale caffeine overdose

@@uuh4yj43 benzodiazepines bind to different receptors and release different neurotransmitters than caffeine. And the more you take the more binding affinity it will have so it will just be more powerful. And since it’s going into the bloodstream directly there won’t be any delay. It’s after long periods of time of continued use that the receptors can desensitize. I highly advise against that however because benzos can be extremely addictive if not only taken on occasion.

Universities in europe have shown that non adults that are exposed to a single use of THC (and that have a predisposition for psychosis or depression) can devellop a psychosis or depression. Single use! But it doesn't mean that that shows upt immediately 5 minutes after the exposure to the substance.

@@iggywow I do that. Took me a while to find a decent brand, but it works great for me and now I can get caffeine without all the extra sugar

[@Bacteriophagebs]

Maybe 20 years ago, a company started selling "caffeine shakers," little tins of caffeine powder that you could hake to deliver one dose of caffeine into your drink or whatever, one dose being the amount in 8 oz. of coffee or 12 oz. of soda. A few news outlets freaked the hell out about this and how people could so easily OD on caffeine using these things. I can imagine those journalists just fainting to see big bags of scoopable caffeine being sold in health stores.

I've never felt more glad to have gotten over my caffeine addiction.

It's caffeine Levi, not heroin.

I have two M.S. degrees (two B.S as well, not to mention multiple certifications) and decided against my MD/PhD due to finances. I’d rather my children have an education than my old ass trying to reach heights I hadn’t. I’d lost some love for science and felt so defeated that none of it even mattered. Then I found your channel; technically, my 12 year old son (at the time) found you and said, “hey mom, you would LOVE chubbyemu!” I went to check out the channel and saw that I’d already subscribed some years earlier. It took my son to remind me how much I love medicine/a&p while it took my old self realizing I’d always loved it, I simply needed a reminder. Thank you for your work.

A single 500ml energy drink (160mg caffeine) makes my heart race. 35 thousand mg?! I can't even imagine how that would feel.

[@zoniyat8519]

And to think there are people that stay up for days getting high off of stimulants… I dont want to imagine how their heart feels

[@android584]

Most caffeine trip reports are around 1500-6000mg, some of those ended up in the hospital close to cardiac arrest. Apparently 8000mg is considered a fatal dose. 35 grams is an insane amount.

@@zoniyat8519 as someone who once took stimulants (the legal kind) for ADHD, I agree. Glad I quit and started focusing on behavioral therapy 👌🏽

[@Skyflarie]

@@android584 Its roughly 200mg/ki if I remember correctly for the LD50(i was about 50ki and I did 10,500)

[@zaetoir3586]

160mg is not much for the average coffee drinker. That would be around 2 cups of coffee. If you don't regularly consume caffeine, 160mg is going to feel very potent.

I love how the music sped up and distorted as he described what happened after the guy had the caffeine

I think my favorite recurring thing in these videos is what I can only describe as the “fuck around and find out” music when they’re first making their mistake but don’t realize it yet
