Quitting coffee and the ensuing effects

but yes you should drink FLAT coke with ice, it won't mess up your stomach, and if you drink five of them you won't be fiending for caffeine

or just eat no-doze

but here i am and im feeling fine. well, right now im not. starbucks gave me a regular latte and i feel like im going to die.

xpost - I can't handle the venti caliber coffees either. One of those and I'm ready to jump out of my skin!

I quit for four or five months at one point. I wouldn't say it changed my life, but there are some minor benefits -- slightly improved digestion and maybe sleep, and generally a more 'steady' mood with fewer ups and downs. The best way to quit is to start mixing your regular with decaf and gradually reduce the proportion. That way you don't have to break the psychological addiction and the physical one at the same time.

Quitting honestly wasn't that hard once I decided to do it. The problem was more the discipline of keeping it up, especially when I took on a demanding internship. Once you decide to have "just one cup" it's pretty much over.

I'm also finding I've developed a sensitivity to guarana as well - it sometimes gives me this really bad attack of what feels like hypoglycemia, I get all weak, shaky, and faint.

Supplied FREE? It certainly isn't free where I work - it's 20p a cup from the vending machine, or bring your own in.

a lot of painkillers have caffeine in them! (dunno if you were using 'asprin' as a general term for 'painkiller' or what but thought it would be worth mentioning.)

I just had a 20 oz. Mountain Dew, and it felt like I had gone swimming in it after I finished. Very strange. I think fountain sodas are kinder to me than bottled sodas (possibly a carbonation issue).

I USED to have wicked shakes after drinking caffeine, tho. And occasional headaches. I only get headaches now after drinking Gatorade, which I don't do anymore, because of the headaches.

I knew the printing company I worked for was in trouble when the coffee well ran dry. (Five months later, Chapter 7; one year later, Chapter 13.)

Remember in Leaving Las Vegas how Cage's character had to drink a certain amount to keep from getting the shakes? That's me and coffee. I should probably quit, but I love it so much, especially since my wife bought me a grind-and-brew coffee maker and I can go straight from beans to brew.

Strung the fuck out, on coffee!

yes, it was a general term for painkiller.

Last week this happened and I thought something specific was pissing me off but didn't know what it was. Turned out to be nothing, just the vague edginess caused by caffeine withdrawal.

Too much (i.e. more than two cups a day) coffee makes me jittery, grumpy and shouty. Tea is just safer, given that I'm a witch at the best of times.

This is now my concern. After saying several times, on this forum and elsewhere, that I would rather go blind than give up coffee, I am starting to become concerned about the possible psychological side effects. I have a reasonably large coffee intake (5 or 6 cups a day), and lately I have not been able to so much as lose my credit card without going into a mild hysterical fit. I also have a lot of trouble concentrating. I've started to wonder just how things would be without coffee. Will there be changes? How is it done?

Did the thing of drinking restaurant coffee which revealed that I was in a worse mood than I thought :(

One brand that for whatever reason does not give me that weird erratic takeoff and crash on the runway feeling is Lavazza.

Perhaps I spoke too soon
