If caffeine is bad why does its absence make my head hurt?
Good luck. Taper if you need to. I did cold turkey last time and had my worst migraine in years.
ugh yeah if you get migraines do not fuck with cold turkey. I don’t and it’s less bad but its still a lot easier if you taper at least a little.
no more half measures walter
i was addicted to caffeine pills in high school. its more addictive than people give it credit for.
I had to switch to tea-based caffeine this year due to nausea/anxiety issues brought on by caffeine, and the crashes were way too hard. it’s been more manageable than I thought, I wish you luck
You can do it
You gotta stick with it, it’s worth it.
Is there any science on how long one needs to do this to reset caffeine tolerance?
Hard science idk, but article I read quoted a “coffee researcher” as saying it should be about a week. Probably varies depending on a bunch of factors.
Was that coffee researcher’s name Mr. Coffee?
I don’t think it ever totally resets. mine goes right back to the way it was when I was consuming large amounts of caffeine even though I only take it once every couple of months now. but it’s never taken me more than a week to break the caffeine dependency.
Me, literally at the coffee shop rn
Actually though I might need to do the same. I can survive a day or two break but I’m notably dull and lately I’ve been feeling a little jittery, mentally at least, but still tired :(
You gon feel like fuckin shit real soon
I have advil if I need it
Good luck! I found that herbal teas helped replace the ritual of drinking caffeine, which made the caffeine break a bit more tolerable.
