Quiting caffeine

is it worh it i am now almost a week without it and i feel tired and slow. headaces and more, beter sleep but i wake up as a zombie. Really want to buy some sugar free energys right now.

 

It depends on what you're using caffeine for.

If you're using it for energy and alertness throughout the day, then I'd look to avoid it, and try to adapt to a life without high caffeinated drinks.

Others do use it (coffee) for things like liver cleaning, and just to get things moving i.e. one cup in the morning, that's it.

 

My advice- cut it down step by step, from several times a week to 1 every few days to 1 or 2 a week max

 

i do it only for the energy that i need to finish my 7 day work week...

 

huge toleration??

 

i was one week caffeine free and today i took 3 red bulls so i gues i will get huge drawbacks tommorrow

 

7 day work week sounds brutal.

If you want to withdraw from caffeine, then maybe cut down on the number of days in a Christmas tree formation, which is kinda what @matrix. was suggesting. Do it over a longer period of time so your body adjusts slowly.

It also depends on the number of caffeinated drinks you have per day, and a week in total. So if you have 3 drinks a day for 7 days in week 1, then maybe in week 2, have 3 drinks a day for 4 days, and 2 drinks a day for the remaining 3 days, and keep decreasing.

 

If you permit , I would use that as an accountability group. If not, will do my own thread. Peace.

Day 0

 

ok so now i took three coffee and now i am horny as hell and want to m and o so badly

 

3 in like 2 hours

 

In my experience it is sooooooooooooo worth it. Yes, the initial few weeks sucked. It's the dopamine crash we're all familiar with. But after that evened out, I feel so much better. Namely, about 90% of background anxiety I thought was "normal" went away.

It's been 3 years and I'll never go back.

 

I’m a week clean from caffeine and going to keep going. I believe it definitely doesn’t do any good for the natural anxiety I already have, possibly even worsen however many times.

 

Love it! How are you doing so far? Any withdrawal?

 

Yeah combined with all else I’m quitting lol, it’s a constant fight to not be angry
