3 years in to the game.. Hard to say if i still get it. I think i do.
My first pvp experience was so mind blowing i couldnt focus for even a moment. I was so pumped up. But theese days, the adrenalin just makes i clear and focused. But still, a rush that no other game can provide.
This is why eve is a drug ^^

Only 3 months in this game, about 2 and a half spent PVPing and i still get adrenaline rushes. Quick frig ganks are mundane tasks though, barely give me excitement. 
The fights that make me nervous and my heart racing are when we take our gang to engage an enemy fleet. After i see the warp tunnel i check my mods, double check my overview and hope for the best. Once we engage the adrenaline settles in and i refocus to maintain tackles and targets locked. TBH the adrenaline rush from PvP is the only thing keeping me in this game, if i didn't get it I'd pick something else to play

Props for posting Tobias, I don't think I saw a post about this before.
I had the shivers pretty badly when I started PvPing. Hand shaking, hard to breath, shivers all over my body, the voice in my head saying "now you die", the works. I even had a trembling voice on TS.
The thing that helped me out most was taking my ship and setup to the limit against corpmates. When you simulate most situations together and repeat the battle several times, you get a better feel for timing and you don't have to think about every step. That way you can shiver all you want without making mistakes.
For me it stopped after 6 months of playing and shivering (lots).

Alot of the PvP in EVE is ganking, so in those cases where the outcome is pretty well decided beforehand, I'm usually pretty calm. It's those evenly matched or the ones that could go either way that really get the blood pumping for me.

I'm a big fan of scrambling the local billboard instead of whatever I should be on.

ive been pvping two years hardcore, and I still get the pvp shakes occasionally. depends on the situation I guess. if its uber laggy i get too frustrated to enjoy myself. instapopping goonfleet frigs isnt very exciting either. jumping into a fight outnumbered and outgunned tho, and fighting without lag...my hearts going 10000 bpm. lol

The adrenaline rush, oh the adrenaline rush.
My first time in PVP I totally froze up. Didn't even activate my modules til I was at 50% armor (in a Ferox!). I got horribly ripped apart.
I still get the adrenaline rushes these days... Soloing the adrenaline rush is baaaad.... Sometimes takes me several seconds before I get my drones out from my Arbitrator or the scrambler going. Being bait is also a helluva rush. Nothing quite like being engaged to a guy with 5-6 flashy friends of his coming in guns blazing. "Will I be able to tank these guys long enough? WIll my friends die when they jump in?"
The worst **** of all however... that's leading a gang/fleet. You might think flying at 250 mill EQ Raven is harsh... Not as harsh when your gangmates fly Recons, HACs, BS, ceptors. You loose one and it's going to hurt. When I go into a combat as FC, I either freeze up for a short bit, get too concentrated on calling primaries and secondaries to actually participate myself or I get so focused that it's terrifying. You know, when everything is clear to you, when you can count the beams from the opponents Tach2's and know which crystals they are using based on colour... When everything simply goes your way.
But the shakes are still there. Lead a team in a fleet combat last night.. I was focused as hell during the whole combat but when the combat was over, I put my hand on my chest and felt my heart beating FAST.
The adrenaline rush of PVP makes EVE, EVE.

Heh, I get adrenaline rushes a lot as well, i find that it is significantly worse when its cold, so warm up your room a bit, and you may relax more, I've been to many a CS comp back in the day, and started shaking, and twitching, getting extremely tense, but its worse when its cold.
Another note along this line, you can get adrenaline rushes in non-gaming situations too, so be prepared for them, I myself have experienced them whilst being caught without a ticket on the train, and also while making out in a cold swimming pool, started shaking and twitching and all that hehe, both situations during the cold times, temperature is the solution i says!

I still get it in any fairly evenly matched battle and especially the ones where I'm fighting against the odds, hell it's the reason I choose pvp over everything else.
As time goes by though you learn to push it back and stay focused so it doesn't make you do silly things (usually).
EDIT: I also think the rush it can give you is what makes Eves pvp so addictive.

it's much easier when your the one warping to a target you caught on scanner... I try to come up with a good plan for the worst case in mid warp... when you expect the worst, the rest is just easy. It's when someone else seems to be controlling the fight that things get bad. The more you feel that you control what is going on, the better things go.
The rush is the best part of combat though.... I've had times where I would go into a fight outnumbered 7 to 1... My HAC with faction mods vs 3 HACs, cruisers, and a ceptor. Multiple HACs fell in that fight, including mine, but it was well worth it.

I hear billions of isk helps too, but I wouldn't know that for sure.

I get these adrenaline rushes in tight PvP, regardless if I am about to win, or lose. And it makes my hand-eye-coordination a bit iffy, as my body is not really setting up to handle precision-clicking and/or scroll through menus to warp out and back in (for instance), but taking a hit to the face, or getting physical wounds (hence blood-flow goes to only vital parts of the body).
How do you guys deal with that (if you have the same thing). Cause I can just imagine what would happen if you weren't exposed to the adrenaline. (You'd actually manage to target eg. a pod, and not a drone sitting dead in space, and scrambling that).
OK, I am probably humiliating myself here, but wth. SOMEONE has to experience similar "issues".
if you have adrenalin rushes playing this game, or any game other than the slight "fun" relaxation, you have some real life issues to work out. your rushes of the euphoria are the result of a sediantary, if not quiet life, if you are in law enforcement or have been in real combat, you know what real adrenaline is, not this pvp game adrenaline. tis so sad. go out and skydive or something first, then comeback and post about getting an adrenaline rush ingame. at least make a real life comparison......"i was a ranger and did this...." then we could all go ooooooooo, what a great question! bahahaha 
and to the peeps that understand what i say, cool, to those couch jocks and seatbuns that have their a$ses glued to the chair for hours, you know what i mean also.
ingame....no way. just a win or loss. |

that's the reason why i PvP ... it doesn't matter if i misclick or go boom ... the rush and the shaking are the rewards for PvP in this case .. not the killmail ...
luckily i know when i get the rush ... e.g. interceptor 1v1 without talking between the opponents before, the moments before you jump into a hostile gatecamp with your gang, etc.
though i have to admit ... if i don't get the rush ... i'd rather have a killmail than nothing

I'll tell you all...
That rush never dies.
