How much caffeine will kill you

Site gives a calculator and has other interesting facts in regard to caffeine. Me, even with heart problems, I need -NEED, I SAY- at least one cup a day. During my working days, at least 3 to 5 cups.

and then rounded up to 55 cups of coffee. It doesn't give the time frame, though.

He gave tips on how to wean yourself off coffee. I don't drink coffee. I just take a caffeine pill in the morning to wake up and another one in the afternoon to keep myself moving.
