Im giving up caffeine sugar and tobacco they all screw with you neurotransmitters and makes things worse. I still eat a small amount of chocolate because it makes me happy and sometimes I have a soft drink but Im doing ok and feel a lot better.

Getting rid of 3 addictions simultaneously can be a real challenge, bordering on impossible.
I don’t wanna be a debbie downer but maybe it won’t work. In which case don’t get discouraged! Baby steps and one addiction at a time until you feel comfortable again. Then on to the next one.
Good luck!

You should quit vaping, too.
I’m not going to argue about suger and tobacco, but caffeine can be beneficial. It promotes autophagy in the brain. This may be particular benefical for people like us since we take drugs that deteriorate the cell environment in the brain.
But then there’s a big difference drinking one or two beverages a day and drinking half a dozen. I’m trying to get a little caffeine each day now, but a part of it is I’m not able to excersise at the moment(which also induces autophagy)
I got rid of sugar (I’m diabetic), although I occasionally have a sweet treat. I quit smoking 13 years ago. I drastically cut down on caffeine but I didn’t quit it. I use to drink like 8-10 cups of coffee a day. Now I drink 1 coffee in the morning and then it’s tea throughout the day. Tea has caffeine but not nearly as much as coffee.
