RosieH Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Seriously.I think I've ODed on caffeine and I'm freaking out a bit. Any recognised (or even unrecognised) cures for whiteys anyone can recommend?

Asset Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 a whitey in my book is fainting - are you fainting? How's it going? over-caffeinated I would drink plenty of water and maybe go out for a brisk walk in the absence of a temazepam Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5745-help-me-im-having-a-whitey/#findComment-184521 Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliecharlie Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 drink a big glass of milk, the fat in it will absorb some of the caffeine and settle you down a bit...not based on anything in particular but instinctI have been there big time, years ago... so I sympathiseI don't drink coffee any moredeep breaths and it will passxxcc Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5745-help-me-im-having-a-whitey/#findComment-184524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieH Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'm not fainting, but dizzy and highly nauseous, heart going three hundred miles an hour, a cold clammy sweat on (oh and yes, seemingly all colour drained from my face). Not wholly unlike the whiteys I sometimes had in my class A youth. Only that was a long time ago now and I can't quite remember what I did to get out of them. Feel bad but need to try to get some more work done - figured there may be a few people on here who have dealt with this more recently than me. Holy cr@p, am a complete lightweight these days.Thanks CharlieCharlie - cross posted - I'm getting the milk right now.

Asset Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 how many coffees have you had to get like that? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5745-help-me-im-having-a-whitey/#findComment-184529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieH Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Well I've had a litre of coke and three espressos this afternoon. Not very sensible I know, especially as I don't generally have caffeine, but I didn't think it was that much.It's been a very long and very hectic day.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Cough hard, several times, that helps the heart realign. Also trying to dry retch, has similar effect.Breath in slowly to a count of seven, hold for a count of seven and release slowly to a count of seven. Do this several times and it will help you calm down. (This is the same as breathing into a paper bag)It sounds like a panic attack and this should help. Not to be alarmist, but if the above has no effect, you should consider phoning NHS Direct on 0245 4647 or look at their symptom checker on www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5745-help-me-im-having-a-whitey/#findComment-184531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

red devil Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I came back from the Hac one night, crashed out, then woke up to smoke and flashing lights thinking I was still larging it, turned out a nearby house was on fire!..drink plenty of water...;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5745-help-me-im-having-a-whitey/#findComment-184539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Have never thought of a whitey as fainting, more massive paranoia and a huge freak out. I suggest having a beer.

Mick Mac Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 A litre of coke Rosie - thats a lot of black in your body.And 3 espressos - thats even more black. Then you say you are having a whitey?And the cure is lots of white milk. I'm confused.

woofmarkthedog Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 You must be over it now, if not cram loads of carbs....pasta ect..Note. Many coffee houses use "Robusta" beans in their blend, Starbucks ect, this is the most vicious caffeine hit,always ask for 100% High Arabica bean when ordering............... softer hit allroundW**F Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5745-help-me-im-having-a-whitey/#findComment-184568 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosieH Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Heh, Keef, thanks for the suggestion - coming from a night out with MP it means all the more - I think a beer would have been just the thing if only I had had one.Had a bit of cake and did some breathing and went to bed. Note to self: coffee is not the answer.Oh and Mikecg, hate to disillusion you but I have rarely been sensible and never been a lady (I think the forum just brings it out in me), and I may have employed the teeniest bit of hyperbolic licence in reference to my nights down the Hac. At least I never burned down my neighbour's house though...

Asset Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 A whitey = all colour draining from face, vision going black, head spinning, collapsing to floor = fainting. In my book anyway. Usually happens if you have a spliff too early in the morning.Whatever the terminology - I hope you're feeling better this morning Rosie, lay off the coke (snicker).

Brendan Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 So this isn?t about how you are going to explain to your husband why an imminent addition to the family is going to have considerably less pigment than him. Best thing to do if you are freaking out from any stimulant is get in a nice hot bath and drink heavily. Calms you right down.

bigbadwolf Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 A whitey ofF coffee! The last whitey I suffered was triggered by a spliff after drinking 4 cans of special brew (breakfast of champions) and half a bottle of Absinthe. My stomach felt as though I'd eaten a packet of rat poison but the sex dreams I had after I passed out made it all worth while.Have a lie down Rosie.
