UnghhhgG! One week off caffeine.

[LaraMN]

My six-cup-a-day caffeine habit was no longer yielding any effectiveness, so I cut myself off completely for a week. That was fun. :crazy: I'm hoping that after all the headaches I had to endure, I can now drink a cup of coffee and actually sense a stimulant effect.

In a week, my internship is over, as are finals. I have to find something to occupy myself; I do NOT want to spend another summer sitting on my ass at home.

I took JackMN to the park today. There was another little boy there who was also named Jack. It completely freaked out my Jack.

:hi:

1. I once went caffeine free for two months

quit cold turkey, like you. The first day was pure HELL with a 12 hr headache off the charts and vomiting, to boot.

Major detox, I guess. I was hooked on the shit.

I eventually worked my way to caffeinated green tea....

Anyway, I'm happily back on the coffee bandwagon again. Drinking at least 1 very strong cup a day. That's about it.

I figure everybody needs to have at least one vice. :D

3. Ouch!

It sounds as though you suffered a bit more than I did!
I wasn't nearly as tired as I thought I'd be; the headaches were the only real miserable part for me.

2. You might want to consider...

staying off of it. The benefits are worth it.

Good Luck!

4. No thanks.

I can't some to terms with the idea of being entirely chemical free. It just doesn't sound appealing.

:crazy:
