Caffeine makes me tired?
The same thing happened to me. I could drink coffee, then my health changed over a period of time, and then I couldn't drink coffee without becoming shaky and fatigued. I also had sleep problems, concentration problems, digestion problems, no energy and bad brain fog, but not everyday. Some days I would feel fine. They were rare, however. I saw a doctor who prescribed a supplement on the Pfeiffer Walsh protocol which helped immensely. Google Pfeiffer Walsh to see what you think. I still couldn't drink coffee until I started taking B vitamins, particularly B 12. With B 12 my energy came back. I still don't know what's been going on, but I hope this info helps. Good luck.
Why does caffeine make me tired?
When I drink something with as little caffeine as a 20 oz bottle of diet Pepsi, I become incredibly tired. I was under the impression that caffeine is supposed to perk you up, at least for short periods of time, FOLLOWED by a crash, not opening with a crash and closing with a crash. I never get the perked feeling from caffeine. It feels similar to taking a Tylenol PM for me. I've never felt "energized" from caffeine, and I don't drink it often either, so I don't see how I would have built up a tolerance. Any ideas?
Caffeine makes me tired?
It sounds like you have built up a tolerance to coffee. In college I would drink a lot of caffeinated drinks and it would give me a buzz for a few hours. Now I work and drink coffee every morning, but it no longer gives me a buzz. Instead it only wakes me up a little bit. The difference is that now if I drink too much I don't feel any more energized, but I definitely get the jitters and feel sick. For me the best cure for being tired in the morning is still getting a full 8 hours of sleep the night before.
Why does Caffeine make me tired when it suppose to perk me up?
I am glad that you asked this question. First, caffeine is a vasoconstictor (it shrinks your blood vessels) thereby, it increases your heart rate and blood pressure. This is why caffeine is so effective for treating headaches. Second, caffeine is also a diuretic (it makes you pee). Therefore, if you are already dehydrated, then the caffeine will not have enough blood volume to shrink down the vessels to increase your blood pressure, and the caffeine will increase your dehydration to make you more tired. Tip: this is what I do. Drink at least 3 to 4- 8 ounce glasses of water before drinking one cup of coffee. You will run to the bathroom in 20 minutes, but you see that you will have more pep and energy and use the 3 to 4 rule with every cup. You will find that you need less coffee to give you more energy
Is it possible for caffeine to always make me tired rather than energized?
A2A.. Bill, anything can have a different reaction than the expected reaction! There are times I can have a cup of coffee in the morning and go right back to sleep. But if I have tea in the afternoon, I may lay awake in bed for awhile.If you have type 2 Diabetes, this may be the reason for your energy slump. What you use in your coffee may have an effect. It’s about insulin response.
Why Does Caffeine make me drowsy ?
I was never diagnosed ADHD, doctors I have gone to say I don't have that, but at night time I do tend to think about things before going to bed. For example, what would have had in my now present had action B been taken instead of action A, I some times play them out in my mind. I also start to think of things I have to do the next day, basically tasks that need to be done. And then after all that I always pray for the guys over seas to be able to make it home safely, and for friends and family and those not friends or family, to make to their friends and family safely. I don't know why I do that but I do. lol when thinking of this, I tend to fall asleep at least 5-10 minutes later. but with the caffeine more like 2-3 minutes later lol

You just aren't drinking enough water. Drink more water and you should see a difference in just one day if you are hydrated enough.
