Help, yo. I have had too much caffeine. I can’t see straight, my stomach is cramping, and my head is splitting. How do I either flush or absorb it? Any foods or just keep chugging water?
Sorry, no idea what to do about the caffeine buzz. We’re gonna have to strangulate you. 
“The treatment for caffeine-induced psychosis is to withhold further caffeine.”
That’s a real quote from the medical literature, btw. Seriously though, unless you’ve had so much that you need medical treatment, all I think you can do is drink plenty of fluids and wait it out.
Wait it out? Don’t make me strangulate you.
My goal for the day (other than packing and getting away from the computer) is to say strangulate in every sentence I say.
loperamide to stop gut cramps. paracetamol for the head, rather than aspirin which i usually recommend. and drink less coffee!
very difficult to remove the excess caffeine: you only have the effects once it has been absorbed, so can’t use an emetic to vomit it out. it’s self limiting (by being metabolised away in the liver) at about the same rate that you could urinate it out, so while drinking lots of water will help flush it out the kidneys, it is not really any faster than just waiting without drinking extra.
as an aside, can you believe that it is impossible to get any kind of soluble aspirin in taiwan? why the hell is dispirin unheard of here? if you have heard of any let me know where…
I do this all the time. 3+ double espressos to start the day off usually. 
…Just hang on, lots of fluids, and it’ll pass. Btw, you may find that it’s not the only thing that’ll pass. Make sure you keep close to a loo! 
Just curious…how much coffee did you drink? I usually run on 2-3 pots a day, but have been known to drink more.
Yeah, the water is just to avoid dehydration, really.
Agree with the above – loperamide, fluids and an aspirin. BTW, pharmacists here sell loperamide in loose pills (used for filling prescriptions) at half the price of the packaged, branded stuff. Same is true of many other medications.
Take a walk and burn it off.
About a cup every 2 hours… for the last 12 hours. Which I know isn’t much for some, but I usually have 1/2 - 1 cup a day. I am VERY caffeine sensitive.
Try this. 
Wow! That’s cool! Thanks, jd!
Ok, it’s driving me nuts already! Make it go away! 
How the hell has it still not worn off? It’s been 4 hours since my last cup. How long does it take?

Now you know why I put a 
in there.
I don’t know how to type the sound that this makes my brain make.
wo
About 8 hours, I think.
I think 8 hours was about right. I’ll never do that again.
BUT!! FYI: The italian coffee house in GongGuan (the one that looks like an old two story house) has REALLY good coffee.
Apparently.
