Are you able to dink a coke? or does that cause the same effect?

There are people with high sensitivity to Caffeine, and what you 
describe can be any number of reactions. 
They can be sugar metabolism related or coming down from caffeine, 
or even something else... 

I have found that if I drink more than a cup or two of coffee, I 
have to raise my water intake, or I also just "crash". 
If I keep on top of my water intake, I can have as much as 11 
cups a day, without much ill effect. (of course I am an 
experienced coffee otaku, the amatuer should not attempt that much 
without training)
The caffeine does not bother me half so much as dehydration.

Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing;
Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give
To sounds confused; behold the threaden sails,
Borne with the invisible and creeping wind,
Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea,
Breasting the lofty surge: O, do but think
You stand upon the ravage and behold
A city on the inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical,
Holding due course to Harfleur.
