Caffeine For ADHD, Blood Pressure

[DaveFoster]

I've been using coffee to counteract my ADHD. It works very well, and I've been using 9 cups/day blended in combination with taurine (2 g), creatine (3 g), coconut oil, chocolate, 2 egg yolks, sugar, and whole milk, along with some l-theanine if I get too edgy.

The amount of caffeine needed to attenuate my ADHD causes my blood pressure to go up to 147/69, which is high. Is there any way to get the benefits of caffeine without this negative effect on blood pressure? More taurine?

Bag breath a few times a day to lower blood pressure, as well as other benefits?

That's a good idea. I actually have a BreahtSlim (Frolov) device, so I'll put that on my desk.

72 ounces of coffee per day? Did you work up to that and how did that affect your digestion?

I use instant coffee crystals in my smoothies, so I make frappucino's and drink those throughout the day.

The caffeine isn't a bolus dose; it's a steady serum concentration throughout the day. It took me about a week to work up to 9 cups from 2 cups throughout the day, but I think I'm still adapting.

My digestion is the best it's been in a long time. Bowel inflammation is low with a quick transit, thanks to coffee, cascara, gelatin, carrot salad, and if I'm correct, coconut oil. I still have blood in the stool occasionally (near the anus,) but it's not as severe as it once was.

72 ounces of coffee- my first thought reading was that you work from home and the WiFi signal is good in the bathroom.

Try to lower the taurine to 1 gram with coffee

I used to 3 grams
It made my blood pressure as I'm gonna die after a minute

I lowered the taurine to 1 with every coffee

I'm feeling pretty good

My skin is breaking .but it's okay

I used to have a pretty clear skin

But now I have like 5 to 10 pimples around my face

With regards to the blood pressure part, I was going to recommend Aspirin, but given the italicized part, doesn't seem like a good option.

You mean taurine made your blood pressure go up?

I'm up to 160 mg; it seems all good so far.

This morning I tried again my 3 grams

With coffee and 70 g of sugar ....

I felt so bad

Coffee + gram taurine

Is awesome and calm and filled with energy

 

[Bahaa El wazzan]

@DaveFoster are you taking creatine 9 times a day ?!

I take 1.6 - 2 g taurine in my coffe drinks; I take about 3 g creatine spread out over the day in my coffee drink.

Have you changed anything with your diet to reduce bowel inflammation at all?

@DaveFoster

Can you give us the recipe for gut sake ?

- 1 gallon milk (2% or 1% or skim depending on weight)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 TBSP gelatin
- 2 TBSP cocoa powder
- 1 TBSP salt
- 3 g creatine
- 2 g taurine
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 TBSP instant coffee (regular, but decaff if I'm sensitive to caffeine due to thyroid)

If you eat salty foods, then you can lower the salt. I can't fit 1 gallon of milk in the blender, so I mix some with molasses in the morning when I wake up and before bed.
