Stacking: caffeine + nicotine
If you also use nicotine pouches, the two stimulants stack. Both raise heart rate and both suppress appetite, and the combination on an empty stomach is the single most common "wired but fried" pattern SteadyBeast users log. A 200mg can plus a few 6mg pouches before lunch is a bigger nervous-system event than either alone. See the nicotine pouch database for the other half of your math.
Good to know: The shot format concentrates a full energy drink's caffeine into two ounces. Easy to underestimate, easy to stack.

Caffeine's average half-life is ~5 hours. From a 200mg can, roughly 100mg is still active 5 hours later and ~50mg after 10 hours, which is why an afternoon can shows up at bedtime.
Is 200mg of caffeine a lot?
