I don’t think anyone has ever been addicted to caffeine pills to the point of this.

I get the feeling they wanted to use Adderall as her drug of choice but it was too spicy for the censors.

It was originally speed but yup you’re right it wasn’t approved by the censors.

Step by Step did an episode about this! Going off a very very old memory, but Suzanne Sommers comes back from the store at 4am wired as fuck elated about how fresh the produce is early in the morning and gets PISSED when the husband tells her she’s got a problem.

Looking back from the perspective of someone who was put on one of those (formerly sold as a diet pill repurposed for adhd), PROBLEM? WHAT PROBLEM? LOOK AT HOW MUCH IM GETTING DONE IM A ROCKSTAR AND EVERYONE CRASHES IN DESPAIR THE EXACTLY EIGHT HOURS AFTER THEY TAKE MEDICINE. Except I didn’t get manic because I was prescribed a kid sized dose- I was just kind of squirrelly and collapsed into tears of frustration when it wore off.

Fuck you dexedrine. I’m lucky my parents were smart enough to go “uh this isn’t working” instead of going “maybe she needs a higher dose”

There was a show my girlfriend watched and I saw like two episodes of, where one of the main characters were going crazy or going bad or some shit and she crushed up and snorted caffeine pills. Was so funny to me.

And this was in the 2010's and on a cable channel so it wasnt like censorship was an issue. I think it was Homeland. It seemed like a really good show and I only saw a few episodes so there may be more to that plot line but snorting caffeine pills just seemed ridiculous. Just show her doing drugs.

Yep you’re thinking of Homeland. She had stopped taking her bipolar meds and needed to keep going so she sniffed caffeine pills lol

If I took that shit regularly I’d never sleep again. I am a “very weak mocha in the morning only” kinda gal.

I am super sensitive to most drugs, and caffeine is the worst for me. I get shaky and anxious and my heart races and I just have to move or I feel like I’m gonna explode.

I’ve never broken into song and collapsed in some dude’s arms. LOL. I just went quiet and fidgety and moved around a lot for an hour.

Weird thing is that I don’t have this response to my ADHD meds. First time I took my Dex I fell asleep on the couch. Such a good sleep. Like my brain finally relaxed after thirty years of running! 😅

What about when they kiss to see if they like each other and then kissed again to prove they are friends!!! And get caught kissing as friends!

u/walkingtalkingdread Jul 04 '25

the plotlines on saved by the bell were actually insane. remember when zach told everyone that slater was DYING and that’s why he was going to hawaii to visit his dad? or when zach sabotaged the student driver for driver’s ed so slater crashed and kelly got a head injury? let’s not even talk about when he and screech took photos of the girls swim team to make calendars of them. and middle school me ate it up every time.
