I quit caffeine about 4 months ago.
Definitely less jittery now. I try to use orange juice or peppermint tea as my ‘coffee’ I just pretend it will wake me up lol.
It can be challenging not having something to wake me up
I quit cold turkey. I was having like 2 energy drinks plus multiple coffees on days I was really tired.
Headaches were outrageous it felt like my blood pressure was higher for like 2 weeks
I only drink stuff with caffeine in it about once a month, usually just a Coke.
I can’t do coffee and high caffeine content never really wakes me up, all it does is make me tired a few hours after drinking high caffeine content stuff.
That said I went through caffeine withdrawal in highschool after stopping drinking Pepsi at lunch. If I remember right I had pretty annoying headaches.
Caffeine helps my focus and energy level it’s really hard to quit something that helps. The doctor’s reasoning was it would help with disorganized thinking but my bf witnessed it, and was like OMG your all over the place without the caffeine, even worse. Thought processes that are so engrained aren’t going to stop from no caffeine. Yeah it would help me sleep, but I was hearing voices off it still.
I like tea with caffeine. Coffee IS a bit stimulating and bad for anxiety
