I hate to admit this, but waking up with a caffeine headache was almost worse than the fever that I had. Fucking drugs, man.

Of you're getting off coffee green tea might be helpful
More coffee will sort. 😁
100 milligram caffeine pill and a couple cups of coffee later. I felt like a brand new human being.
Job done. Dependancy is a great thing… kinda.
Yeah, it's kind of disgusting. caffeine is useful but I definitely recognize that I am very dependent on it was sick for two days and woke up today fucking more miserable than my fever.
Total drug. Go a few days without and you will have symptoms. Thankfully withdrawal symptoms that are not as drastic as heroin or crack.
That's definitely true. I'd take a bad headache for a couple days, then, you know, actual shakes that can potentially kill you.
Yep. And the hit after a break is more pleasant rather than mind blowing. I tend to have regular breaks from it. I think it’s probably the best way to moderate coffee/caffeine intake.
I definitely go days where I completely omit any sort of caffeine, But it's usually no more than 48 hours because that seems to be my limit before the debilitating headache sets in.
I need to plan a five-day stretch where I can completely detox. Like Thursday Friday, go without caffeine, have a really shitty weekend and hopefully by Monday be better.
Decaf can help here. But it is literally brown water, just with a familiar flavour.
Yeah same. Two day breaks seem to be the moderation norm. Not too hard to kick it entirely, but I also like that flavour, especially post meal. I think humans are meant to have a caffeine intake. It’s one of the fascinating things about life and how everything is connected. The mere fact that a plant can affect the physiology of a mammal points to a common shared ancestry IMO.
Caffeine withdrawal headaches are a nightmare
Yeah, definitely. One of these days I'll do a detox, but those two to three days are gonna fucking suck.
I'm a baby steps person. Did the same with smoking as alcohol as caffeine and even sugar. I just dropped the amount one week at a time. Now even like 4oz black tea is enough to get me spun up. I also started drinking them slower, substituting sips with water. Sometimes the drink gets warm or cold and I stop drinking it and over a couple month's its like I was never addicted.
