I don't understand why he's including caffeine in an anti-stress medication. Most of the times I've seen someone get stressed and freak out, they were pretty strung out on tons of caffeine (or worse, diet pills) and lacking sleep. I've seen women go from stabbing themselves with scissors to completely normal people after dropping the stimulants and getting some sleep.
> When I wanted to read, I increased dopamine and decreased GABA by increasing caffeine and lowering l-theanine and phenyl-GABA. When I wanted to work, I increase caffeine and l-theanine while lowering phenyl-GABA. When I wanted to open my ideas to criticism, I increased caffeine and increased hemp oil. When I wanted a dreamless sleep, I increased phenyl-GABA. When I wanted to experience vivd dreams, I lowered the hemp oil and the caffeine and added acetylcholine.
The story you're telling is accurate for cocaine and amphetamines. Caffeine is different. It blocks the adenosine receptors, which are supposed to slow you down before you wear out.
I can't entirely disagree, but it (caffeine) still seems to help more than it hurts.
But amphetamines are far more direct. Caffeine still seems to help more than it hurts for me (several times over diagnosed "clinical ADHD")
