I quit twice. Both times it took me about two weeks. Splitting headaches and very foggy brain the first week, and less pronounced symptoms afterwards. The coolest part about weaning myself off caffeine was waking up feeling genuinely rested. But both times social pressure drove me back to the nasty habit...
- lostlogin 8y agoI have been forced to quit when on holidays to places that don’t have coffee, or perhaps I couldn’t find it. It was terrible. I’d have 3-4 a day (espressos, standard basket), and I suffered.
- robocat 8y agoAvoid headaches by tapering/titrating yourself off the caffeine using no-doz pills (or equivalent caffeine based pills). In the morning take a whole pill, and over say 10 to 15 days, linearly decrease the amount you take by using part-pills (ending with a nibble of a pill). This has worked great for me twice now when I was about to go somewhere I wouldn't be drinking coffee regularly. I also once titrated myself off coffee by using instant coffee. Day 1 is a full teaspoon, and decrease the amount slowly over many days.
