I'm a smoker, so I drink coffee all day long. Does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do, really, rather makes me drowsy.

Here's a tip. Don't ever work for me, because I would fire your stupid ass. Too much caffeine, Jesus tits. You're a perfect example why raising the minimum wage 'just because' is an extremely bad idea. Self-inflicted non-malady warrants time off = unreliable. Disgusting.

I can't help but consider single mothers busting their asses working 2-3 jobs and getting through it by inhaling caffeine, yet you get some jitters and have to leave work. Fucking hell. Just sad beyond measure.

This is a little over the top but my basic sentiments.

If you know caffeine effects you this way and then purposely drank it you're playing with fire.

Once as a mistake I can understand. Twice, under my watch, you'd probably be done.

Now that I feel much better today, I can better explain yesterday's situation.

I shall start by stating that I am rather hyper sensitive to caffeine due to the fact that I last regularly drank it was roughly twenty years ago when I was a teenager.

I only recently started drinking coffee, and I thought that I had a handle on it. Clearly not.

Before I started drinking coffee yesterday, I also had not eaten anything in approximately twenty-four hours. I should have known better.

So I overloaded on coffee on a very empty stomach.

The jitters were so intensely powerful later that afternoon that I literally thought I was having a heart attack. My left hand was going numb and the numbness was attempting to travel up my left arm.

I had been drinking water regularly since the coffee, but apparently that did nothing to prevent the jitters when they hit. The problem had been the empty stomach.

I tried to eat something, but it was basically too late at that point for it to really help me. I tried to ride it out for several hours, trying to do my job. I kept becoming weaker, feverish, I almost passed out a few times, and finally when there was only twenty minutes left till we closed the department I asked if I could leave.

I got home and I ate something while continuing to drink water. My eyelids were extremely heavy though my heart rate was still rather high. My heart rate did not return to normal until around 2am, and shortly after that I was capable of periodic spurts of sleep.

I do feel much better today, and I have realized that coffee just is not my thing. Even though I did not have to give up caffeine when I was a teenager, it is apparent that my low tolerance for it at this stage of my life is not worth risking my life.

Thank you all for your responses and the help you offered.

Same here. Lots of tea and coffee.

Does fuck all.

I'm curious, why did you drink all that coffee on an empty stomach, especially since you're not accustomed to it? Seems like there's got to be a story behind that

This has never happened to me before, and I am trying to stay calm despite being jittery as heck and worried. I had to leave work early because I was getting weaker, tired, and felt as though I was going to pass out if I kept exerting myself.

What are your tips for better dealing with this?

Lots of masturbation. Lots! Rub it raw.

Clearly the best solutions in this thread.

Drink tea instead, you uncultured swine.
Glad you're feeling better

And @Cato: does that hefty stick up your arse come with splinter insurance? I'm genuinely curious
