because it does somewhat reduce the rate of perceived exertion. I would train at that level anyways, but at least sometimes it's not a 10/10 painful but 9/10.

but I like the fact that you are reading my posts multiple times, maybe you are absorbing something!

It won't be caffeine!

Let's face it. "FIGHT ON" and "caffeine" are a combination that falls into the "careful what you wish for" category.

Use of water artificially increases peformance and gives a hiker an unfair advantage over those who don't. Possession of such a performance enhancing substance is strictly forbidden.

If you can't absorb it from the air around you, then it's clearly an artifical performance enhancer and is therefore forbidden. It's only fair. All reasonable people will agree with me.

*or other unethical substances such as protein.

makes about as much sense as advising a parent to escort his child into a closed area. Does Crystal Lake ring a bell?

Treatment

Treatment for OCPD normally involves psychotherapy and self-help. Medication in isolation is generally not indicated for this personality disorder, but fluoxetine has been prescribed with success. Anti-anxiety medication may reduce feelings of fear while SSRIs can ease frustration, reducing stubbornness and negative rumination. A mild tranquilizer can reduce alcohol dependence, if present. ADD medication can improve task completion by improving mental focus, which will provide visible success and improve outlook for recovery. Caffeine sensitivity may be an exacerbating factor.
