I quit coffee 2 days ago and I feel calmer and a bit sluggish.
It’s about finding the right balance between anxiety and sluggishness.
How is coffee or no coffee impacting your life?

coffee in moderation is good for a lot of people, but its hard to be balanced with it… kinda like alchohol i guess. when people have it they usually drink too much. maybe quitting all together is a good idea.

just fyi you will regain sensitivity to caffeine after a few days or weeks. your caffeine receptors or whatever they are… i think it has to do with something called adenosine… the receptors they begin to grow back pretty quickly. maybe the withdrawls is why you feel sluggish etc. im sure youll feel better in a few days bro! hang in there.

I limit my caffeine to either one cup of coffee or one diet Mountain Dew cuz I’m worried about tachycardia while on the clozapine. I miss the coffee in particular. They wouldn’t let us have any caffeine after noon in the hospital and i thought that was stupid!

I drink 1-2 cups of coffee a day, sometimes I’ll switch it up and drink hot tea or an energy drink.
But one in the morning, and one in the afternoon is usually standard for me

yea maybe doesnt make sense for most people. but i think they do it for people with mania symtoms… like bipolar etc. they hardly ever have much coffee around lol i think one time they didnt have coffee at all… only tea and caffiene free tea like camomile at that.

When I was in hospital they would only give decaf in the afternoon.
How long have you been back home now?

I had serious caffeine withdrawals when I was in the hospital. They only served decaf everything. One of the reasons I hated that place lol

I’ve been home since Friday. The weekend was rough but i have appointments and stuff this week so I’ll do better since I’ll have to interact with others. I’ll get to visit my clubhouse today, too. I don’t miss the hospital so much today, which is good.

i am trying to decide whether to have a coffee today or not. i didn’t have a coffee yesterday and slept really well last night, which made me feel motivated today and better at understanding slightly complicated information. I am thinking about trying to enjoy today without coffee
