lately i have stopped using ephedrine and yohimbe as the crash and jittery feeling just outweighs the benefit...so now im just using caffeine, 100 or so mgs at a time..it gives me a good boost of energy but no cognitive boost like ephedrine or other stims...plus, with caffeine after an hour or so i crash hard and it makes me jittery and just plain feel shitty...low motivation and mood, increased anxiety..is there any way to avoid the jitters and the crash while taking stims like caffeine and ephedrine?besides taking benzos or other downers..?ive tried getting off all stims but then the lethargy kicks back in and i get back on etc etc..
 
I personally think a glass of milk helps, followed by some water...maybe a shower, but hydration is always key..
 
Make sure you have something to eat. If your body runs out of energy with a bunch of caffeine... then you'll feel awful.

You can also try reducing your dose. Even 80mg is a lot for some people. You can always take more later in the day.

Caffeine takes way longer than an hour to be fully metabolised, by the way. It actually is quite long lived in the body.
