So, I’m talking to my doctor about my nervousness, I’m nervous. And he says, “I know what the problem might be. You drink so much coffee. It’s making you a little jittery.” And I said, “What?!” He said, “Coffee.” And I said, “Yes, thank you, I would love some.” So he said, “No. Just that could be the problem.”

And what’s so ironic about this whole thing is, we were talking about my nervousness due to coffee, over coffee. So I think he’s just trying to hook me, and put me in this vicious cycle of discussing my dependence of coffee over coffee thus, reinforcing the dependence and reinforcing his dependence on my money.

So I said, “Maybe we shouldn’t meet in Joe’s coffee shop anymore, and we should you know go to your office or something." And he says, “Well, that would be fine.” And and I said, “Well, do you have any coffee there?” And he says, “No, I don’t have any coffee there.” So I said, “Well, well with all the money I give you, you, you figure you could add a little cup of sanka in there even. You know patient comes in, you give him some decaf at least!"

do you think i have a caffine problem? :wtf:

Hmm ... I don't really know what to say on this one, I don't really consider drinking coffee to be a bad thing, mind you it is a type of drug. How many coffee's do you have a day?

Yeah if you're having 10 a day say then I think you have some sort of dependence issue. Can you go without it for a couple of days without it affecting your state of mind?

Oh the above post you just made confirms it......that is way too many.

Coffee is caffine
Caffine is an addictive drug
so is lactose (Milk/ cheese / shit like that)

I suggest you are WAY to dependent, if your not sure then just TRY to have ZERO coffee for an entire week, you wont last a day.

10 cups a day?????????? yeah, that's definitely a bad addiction. your doctor's right. you need to cut it out. maybe not right away, that could maybe you really fucked up (withdrawal). try cutting back slowly. 9 cups a day the first week, 8 cups the 2nd week, 7 cups the 3rd, so on a so forth. so, even though it would take roughly 2 1/2 months for you to quit, your body would definitely adjust better. and you should prolly see a therapist or something, b/c they've prolly got people that can help you quit bad habits and/or addictions

Although it is humorous now, an addiction to caffinee can become a serious health issue, caffinee is not good for you or your brain, and to much of it over a long perod of time can cause serious liver damage and brain problems

if you have troubles sleeping, the cause is most likely to much caffinee

NO, you do NOT need coffee. it's prolly a huge drain on your paycheck, etc. at least try substituting decaf at first. seriously, get help. though you may think your doctor is draining your pockets, solving your problem now will save you a bunch of money in the long-run. try making a list of how much you spend on coffee in a single week (or in however long the period is for which you get paid... one or 2 weeks, usually). post that on your fridge, next to your stove, in your bedroom, next to your door, somewhere you can see it in your car.... anywhere, or all those places. and think about what you're doing everytime you want to buy coffee. i read in a book called Rational Recovery (it was for a Psych class in high school) that thinking about your problem every time you go to "abuse" it can help you train yourself to quit.

:chair: my docter knows nothing!!!!!!!! he is trying to get my money! if he wasnt he wouldnt have broughten me to a god damn coffee shop to fix my so called problem! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
i think you're wrong there. he prolly took you there to make a point, perhaps to observe your behavior. but if you're convinced he's wrong, go see another one. get a second opinion.

if you have troubles sleeping, the cause is most likely to much caffineeFor once, I totally agree with X. You are completely right, man. For the longest time my parents wouldn't let me have caffeine, until I was about 16 or so. I just never handled it very well, it just isn't good for anyone. The problem is my fave drink is Mountain Dew, I drink too much of it...

But lay off the caffeine!!! Start slowly if you must.

RMadd

01-23-2005, 12:11 AM

yeah, i'm agreeing w/ X too. what's this world coming to lol?
i buy caffeinated drinks fairly often--usually code red mountain dew, pepsi or dr. pepper--but i make sure i mostly buy non-caffeinated drinks--orange soda, root beer, capri suns, etc. that way i don't get hooked. i remember a friend of mine in high school would buy 20 oz. mountain dews from the soda machines after just about every class. so he ended up having 4 or 5 of those a day at school alone. when he tried to quit, even after only a few weeks of it, he got terrible headaches. so i know it'll be rough, but honestly, it'll save you a buttload of money and you'll feel alot better once you're over this horrible addiction.

I've never being a coffee drinker and I don't think my one or two cokes a day is really a big day. Having 14 coffees a day is a serious addiction, particulary if it has become your master. Its really no different then having an addiction to any other behaviour or drug, legal or illegal.

yeah, but you see. my docter said to take medications, so he gave me 7 pils, and 12 pills, and he gave me 132 pills, and mmost of them are purple and have the letter E on them, and i dont know what that means but, i just, i take them anyway! :eek:

You're talking pills which you don't know about? That you don't know what they are supposed to do or how many you're supposed to take? See your doctor or at least a pharmacist.

No offence or anything, but it's obvious that you need to stop drinking so much coffee ... :eek:

ok....well a friend of mine was at 2 or 3 pots a day and then someone in her family realized the problem and cut her off of her coffee completely...the day that was done, she passed out and went into shock..(quite a scary time)..its a very very addictive thing.

so you should probably cut back on your drinking of coffee...but you may have to ween yourself....like start down to two cups instead of 3...then down to 1...etc

I think you're full of crap. This thread started off sounding like a very weird joke with the coffee, meeting a doctor in a coffee shop, etc. But the post about how many pills he gave you and no explanation? Sorry, but I think you're either joking or looking for attention. Just my opinion.

jbjfan

why would i waste my time joking about somthing like that? :mad1: i wanted an opinion and i got one, sorry if i wasted your precious time teriB19.

Dang! I guess if caffeine is that bad for us,then I'm outta luck to :eek: I drink coffee,but not 10 cups a day.But thats the least of my worries! I was addicted to diet pills for everal years and a lot of the ones I took had caffeine in them as well. I haven't touched diet pills of any kind since October though,so thats good for me ;)
