I went from drinking 2-3 cups of coffee everyday to stopping cold turkey 3 weeks ago. Big headache for ~48 hours but now feel fine. Biggest benefit for me is just feeling much less dehydrated - I don't think I was drinking nearly enough water to counter the diuretic effects of caffeine.
- WhiteSage 8y agoWhen I stop cold turkey I sleep a lot for a couple of weeks (10-13 hours per day), which is really useful when I'm stressed and cannot sleep. After the two weeks I behave normally again, but I never have the thought clarity that coffee gives me, so I end up going back and starting the cycle again.
- badosu 8y agoI had the habit of taking several mugs of coffee per day. That helped a lot starting the day but had the side-effect of amplifying anxiety sometimes. Today I mostly don't feel the need to drink coffee but I like to take a small cup of coffee with milk in the morning, it fulfills and is not addictive. Maybe instead of banning coffee there can be a middle ground?
