Caffeine makes me very irritable. It makes my heart race & also palpitations sometimes I guess. Makes me very short of breath. The effects of it also seem to come hours later (the awakeness that is). The last 2 times I drank it, I became very itchy on my skin. Don't know if that was coincidence or not. I had quit for 3 years while pregnant & nursing my 2 children. Then, I was still always tired & my husband suggested going back to it. I have tried off & on, & just do not like the way it makes me feel. I'd rather be tired. If I do drink it, it is in very small amounts. One soda only when I really feel that I need it. Once in awhile.
Oh yeah, the funny thing; about 10-15 years ago, I used to drink nothing but mountain dew. Even slept with a 1 liter of it by my bed & would guzzle it when I woke up thirsty in the middle of the night & go right back to sleep. Then moved on to other uppers, cocaine, etc, but that is another story. Now I cannot even handle 1 cup of coffee.
