Is it possible to get high off drinking a ton of caffeine?

Recently I've been trying to ween myself off alcohol and am substituting energy drinks to keep my sanity in this period, so basically yesterday night i drank 5 cans of monster in the space of a couple of hours and was shaking from the caffeine, i also felt a weird happy feeling from it despite the fact that I'm depressed any other time.

Just wondering if caffeine high is a real thing or if my mind was playing tricks on me?

It wasn't the caffeine, it was the sleep deprivation.

I think I'd have a heart attack switching from alcohol to caffeine. Hell even sober now a cup of coffee gives me heart palpitations.

Dipshit teens give themselves heart problems sometimes or even die from caffeine pills. If there's any high that comes with it, it's gotta be terribly unpleasant.

It's called caffeinism, it's what happens when you go above 1000mg or so of caffeine/day. Essentially a minor overdose of caffeine. It's rare to actually die from it unless you're doing intense physical strain at the same time or have underlying heart/liver conditions, but it's not great.

The signs and symptoms are divided into one group that can appear after an intake of as little as 100 mg of caffeine (roughly the amount contained in a cup of brewed coffee) and another group of symptoms that appear at higher levels of intake (more than 1 g per day). Low-dose symptoms include

restlessness,
nervousness,
excitement,
insomnia,
flushed face,
diuresis (increased urination), and
gastrointestinal disturbance.
Symptoms associated with high doses of caffeine include

muscle twitching,
rambling flow of thought and speech,
tachycardia and cardiac arrhythmia,
periods of inexhaustibility, and
psychomotor agitation.[1]

That aside, OP, euphoria can be a normal thing to experience on caffeine. Don't damage your body drinking more to try to achieve it, maybe try coffee and meditation to focus on the feeling of euphoria.

There was no indication he was taking a cold shower. There was plenty of reason to believe he was sleep deprived since he said he drank 5 large high caffeine energy drinks at nighttime. It's weird that he allegedly didn't stay awake, although he might just be lying because he wanted to hear people talk about caffeine making him high instead of accepting the more likely answer that he just stayed up late and had the well known antidepressant effect of sleep deprivation.

He said he drank 5 large high caffeine energy drinks at nighttime. That heavily implies sleep deprivation. And that also has nothing to do with the complaint about the study not being about caffeine because even if you disagree with the idea he was sleep deprived you can clearly tell that post with the study *was* arguing that sleep deprivation was the issue. That makes complaining about the study being about sleep deprivation nonsensical. It was about sleep deprivation because that was the explicitly stated point of view of the post. It's like you don't understand the concept of there being points of view other than your own.
>>11400723
I didn't say OP doesn't know it. I said it's possible he was lying since consuming that much caffeine would keep most people awake even with a relatively high caffeine tolerance and since he might have an incentive to lie to try to get people to post more about his own preferred explanation where caffeine is making him high. How do you confuse dishonesty with a lack of knowledge?

Caffeine gives off much less dopamine than cocaine and meth, the only reason caffeine is spared of being classified as a drug is because it has functionality to society with low risk of abuse. Should be noted that amphetamine and methamphetamine are prescribed for the same reason people use caffeine, to help people with ADHD focus and improve productivity. You even implied yourself that caffeine is a stimulant drug multiple times :-) why else would you keep comparing it to cocaine and meth if the effects are "nowhere close to each other"

If you're suffering from depression, the book 'Feeling Good' by MD David Burns can help. It's about cognitive-behavioral therapy, a successful treatment for depression.

It's a stimulant, not a recreational drug except in the pedantic and overly literal sense where bored teens will try to get high off everything up to and including bananas and house paint. Calling caffeine something you get high on is like calling water something that poisons you. In both cases you'd be correct in a tortured literal sense but you'd be wrong in terms of how actual Earth people without developmental disorders and with the capacity for understanding nuance speak.
