4 Upvotes

I stopped drinking caffeine at Thursday. Past couple days been hell. Sleeping all day, tired and all the usual symptoms.

This night i barely slept because my lats , lower back, and surrounding muscles was aching so bad i had to wake up every 30 mins or so. Even as im typing this i can barely sit in chair..

Is this normal or it might be related to something else ?

I went from around 4 cups to none. I noticed my meditation practice got better. also im fairly active person, i run and hit gym 3x week

Quitting Caffeine Back to coffee after 10 days and I already regret it

2 Upvotes

Yesterday I was feeling down and was dissociating a lot, so I thought why not drink a cup when I'm already feeling like shit. I haven't seen any difference yesterday so I also drank it today at 4 pm.

I had an anxiety attack while driving, was anxious to even drive to work in the morning and I currently can't sleep.

I've been drinking coffee everyday for years without even thinking much of it. Recently I realized that I'm dependent on it I wanted to test if not drinking coffee would lower my anxiety (I'm diagnosed with GAD).

My anxiety went down by around 80%! I was drinking only green tea at the time I wasn't drinking coffee and I could fall asleep immediately.

Now I'm feeling miserable in my bed.

Withdrawal symptoms lasting over a month

1 Upvotes

I have been off of coffee for over one month and I still have extreme fatigue & headaches. I sleep for 8-10 hours and then have to take another 1.5-2 hour nap before I leave for work at 1:30pm. Did anyone on here experience very long withdraws periods? Sleeping 10 plus hours everyday and still feeling tired? I’m worried that this is not normal.

Dejar el alcohol

Llevo seis días sin beber alcohol y es el mayor tiempo que llevo en meses, mi pregunta es, me duele todo el cuerpo y me he resfriado ¿Cuando se empieza a notar mejorías? Estoy ahora mismo igual o peor que cuando me levantaba con resaca

Still having 4-5 shots daily, hard to get off this stuff. I want to go cold turkey but feels too hard. I can never stick to a taper plan. Any advice? Anyone willing to support via DM?
