How much caffeine?
I'm curious how much caffiene I am consuming.. I drink about 7 cups a day... with a splash of milk and splenda.. I drink the "Maxwell House" Rice Lite 1/2 the caffe.. It doesnt even say how much the caffiene content is
p.s- im seriously starting to think my coffee addiction is making me nuts.

Probably more than you should be. I'd try and switch to tea--it's got caffeine but it's much better for you.

Average cup of coffee (6oz, which no one EVER drinks) is about 60 mg of caffeine. I think anything under 200-250 mg in a day is fine, and even if you happen to go over by a bit it's not the biggest thing. Considering that it's half the caffeine, let's say 30 mg of caffeine, that's not so bad.

Your body gets used to the effect of caffene if that's what you like about it. Don't take anything with caffene in it for a week, then start it again and you can get the effect back.

Switched coffees I see. When you had asked about your previous coffee, here's what I filled you in with  Maxwell House is probably comparable.

Question:
Can you tell me how much caffeine is in my Folgers Coffee?

Half-Caff: 30 mg per tablespoon (one serving)

Milligrams of Caffeine per Serving:
Regular: 116.7 mg/single
Decaffeinated: 2.8 mg. per single
Folgers Instant Crystals: One serving size equals one teaspoon instant coffee for each 6-ounce cup of water.

your goinga bit over,
CAffein withdraws arent that bad.
completley stop drinking any kind of caffeine for 5 days.
The middle 3 days will be the worst but by the 5th day you will not be craving any caffeine. Caffeine withdraws never alst longer than a week.
look up caffein on wiki.
