Re: I'm thinking of quitting coffee (and tea and caffeine pills, no cheating!) [Re: Subconscious]

Subconscious said:
End of day 1 and my head is throbbing in pain. I quit a pack a day cigarette habit and it wasn't even a fraction as bad as cutting back the caffiene. I can't function at all. I just had to go meet with some lady to fill out paperwork and the brain fog and anxiety was so bad I could barely answer basic questions like my date of birth. She must have thought I was fucking retarded.

I hope it's worth it in a few days.


:eek:
dang, really? that sounds terrible.

quitting cold turkey is probably the worst thing ever. The hardest part is the moodiness that comes with it. I quit coffee by slowly reducing the amount of coffee i used but kept the amount of water the same. I then finished it off with drinking iced tea with a little sweet. Life is better, SLEEP is a million times better and my brain explodes with dreams now, every night... it's kind of overwhelming. I just can't ever go back to coffee, something about it just loads up in my system and ruins my life.

3 days later and the headaches are much less intense. I think I'm past the worst of it and at least I survived the work week.

Starting to notice some positive cognitive changes and I'm in an overall calmer state of mind. I'll probably keep this up for a while. My caffiene intake was bordering on the rediculous side and I'm pretty sure it was contributing to my anxiety.

How's it going Wiccan?

I'm down to 1 cup of green tea today.  Today is my last day of green tea and then I'm going off caffeine for good.  For me this is preparation for an ayahuasca ceremony I have coming up, and I'm proud to say this the the first time I have been able to quit caffeine for longer than 1 or 2 days before ceremony.  I would like to keep it for good though.  Time to create new, healthy rituals!

:bunny:

I want to thank anyone participating and send best wishes to everyone hopping on the Caffeine wagon with us.

Who cares, just try to quit, see what it does for you, worst that can happen is relapsing and laying your life in the hands of Lord Nescafe :lol:
Its not quitting smack or anything serious like that, just do it.

Yoga its great you are doing fine and I'm happy to report a success story.

The first two days were hell, hell I tell you! Raging anxiety, heart trouble, feeling messed up.  Then it got a lot easier and its getting easier ever since.

Its now Day 11.

I still dont wake up well but all W/D ceased by day 9.

I ate a 3oz bar of chocolate and got buzzed for hours, with withdrawal somewhat diminished, so chocolate has become a drug again, showing I have indeed detoxed.

What have I achieved?

--anxiety/stress level is lower
--less brain fog
--heart rate dropped a bit
--no nervous dysphoria

I DONT WANT BACK. Really, my sleep quality and waking up needs still to improve a bit, but otherwisem this has been a very positive thing for me.

Its one of those :doh:  things I should have done years ago.

Yogabunny please stick with the program.  The W/D is all going to go away.  You'll feel better and have a personal victory to add to your happy list.

Day 1 completely off caffeine, and I'm feeling fine......the tapering method really works to curb those nasty withdrawal symptoms.

awesome... well, i'm still drinking my black tea. I'm easing off of that too. I am a southerner so I love sweet tea except I don't like it so sweet. Still drinking that but cutting back every day. My sleep has never been better. Glad others are joining in too!
