Your organs have to work overtime, over time, to process it. Your liver, kidneys, for starters, have to filter all that coffee out; your heart will race and beat faster. The jolt that much instant coffee gives you just lasts a short time, then you crash, and your body demands more.
Your doctor or health care provider will have bette options than instant coffee if you are having hallucinations. They may order more physical and psychological testing, to determine of there are other organic reason behind the issue.
