Anyone else find they need caffeine to have energy to do anything? Depression drains you of all your energy it seems. But at least coffee helps.

I went through a period recently where I was having about four Monster energy drinks a day. It got to the point that I developed a tolerance to caffeine and it didn't work on me anymore.

Caffeine had the opposite affect on me, it makes me tired. Though I do find coffee and tea very tasty.

For me, caffeine sometimes causes me to become extremely anxious to the point that I think I'm having a panic attack or it does absolutely nothing and I feel no different than I felt before I had caffeine.

So no, while I wish I could go to coffee for energy, it doesn't do me any good... but I do crave for the taste of coffee once in a while and take the risk of drinking it for fun. :)

Caffeine literally has no effect on me. Also coffee tastes like dirt water but I force myself to drink it anyways as an appetite suppressant.

Same. I used to drink Monster and then fall asleep right after. I weaned myself off it eventually. I'm dependent on coffee (not because of it's effects) but because it's routine for me. I'd go batshit crazy if it's not the first thing I have in the morning like my entire day is ruined.

Yeah; I had to wean myself off it, too. I was definitely addicted. They were expensive, too, so I'm glad I'm not spending that kind of money anymore.

Yep shit is expensive. I used to didn't care if I barely had any left for actual food as long as I had my Monster.
For everyone's sake do it. DO IT!!!

Gives me the trots and stains the inside of my favourite white cup. For those two reasons alone it has been removed from my menu.

I'm always tired and sleepy but caffeine doesn't have effect on me anymore. I never tried Monster or Red Bull because my parents don't allow it.

Only thing that helps me with energy really is suboxone or kratom.

I sometimes "self-medicate" with caffeine or coffee on days where my depression is intense.

Did you go through trial and error with kratom and sorting out the right dose that works best for you? And how long did it took you? I think I bought a bad strain/batch. All it ever does is makes me nauseated.

I think I'm mostly immune to caffeine now. Actually this week I've been cutting back on the number of cups I've been drinking.

To me coffee does little to combat actual fatigue or tiredness. At best it delays sleep, but only if I drink enormous amounts of coffee. Rather I would say coffee can give a little boost when I'm already feeling awake.

No just bought maeng du kratom and put some in a shot glass and downed it which tastes disgusting. It worked great if it makes you nauseated might be using too much.

I bought white maeng da and take mine with chocolate milk/juice. I've only started taking it recently and I started with 0.5g. I broke out into cold sweats and passed out for several hours; woke up when it was already dark out only to vomit then fell back asleep. I reduced it to 0.25g and I still feel nauseous. I tried taking it with/without food, before/after eating etc. It's either it is a bad batch or because I'm malnourished and it affects me more. Idk. I really thought it would help with my depression/anxiety so I function better.

I never tried white only green kratom and you should find a online kratom vendor that has good reviews. They also have kratom chocolate and gummies which might be good to try. It can be helpful but also can be addicting if you use too often.

Combined with the right dose of my meds and a smidgen of luck, coffee can temporarily make me feel pretty damn excited (for what I don't know).
