Day 5 no caffeine

[SubhumanCurrycel]

From drinking 1L of coffee every morning to none, I would be ingesting around 400-600mg on a regular day, stopping cold turkey is insanely hard, non stop headaches and lethargy. You have no idea just how dependent you are until you stop honestly.

Why did you stop

 

[fukmylyf]

coffee is op. I only recently started drinking it and fuark. One cup has me wired for 8 hours straight, I legit can't stop talking. It may be better than alcohol for socializing.

Why did you stop

Too much of a dependence and built up insane tolerance + overconsumption lead to acid reflux

Just remember to cycle off in periods to prevent too much tolerance

Why would you stop cold turkey, you can lower the dosage gradually and get zero headaches...

I’d just start drinking again and losing track of how much I’ve consumed

Take tyrosine or phenylalanine to replenish your dopamine.

Caffeine isn't very dopaminergic unless you've had a large dose. That's just not how it works. This is placebo/cope or someone getting a stimulant effect from consuming dopamine precursors to have more energy and feel less lethargic.

Tyrosine works for me, to get some of the caffeine "magic" back, after I take it for too long and don't get any more positive stimulating effects from it and simply take it to feel normal. I've been on and off caffeine for over a decade now, quit it many times, went several times through withdrawals, tried many supplements and strategies to make them more manageable.

Well man, takes 2-3 weeks to completely reset tolerance so your at least 1/3rd of the way.

Why are you doing it cold turkey tho? Do you have upcoming exams or competitions where you need the full benefit of caffeine?

Going to start school soon and don’t want to be dependent throughout semester. Will likely use again for exams tho

Caffeine stresses your brain and body putting you into a false fight/flight response. Stress is never good, you’re prematurely aging yourself essentially

It just blocks sleepiness. Dopaminergic stuff would be adderall. You notice caffeine energizes you but doesn’t help you focus? No dopamine

You better have a good connect or you’ll be snorting drywall and flour, lmao
