Best thing I did was give up coffee.
edit: Eases up the mood swings (TBH, I'm probably just in a stable phase (which gave me the will to stop coffee in the first place), but stopping wild upswings in mood with coffee cessation seems to have greatly muffled the back swings. touch wood touch wood touch wood.)
- throwaway1954 7y agoWhat do you drink now instead? I'm also in the process of quitting coffee, I used to drink coffee very heavily (3-4 cups per day) and lots of soda, but it was affecting my mood too much.
- cairo_x 7y agoCocoa in hot water with stevia. I still need something black in the morning. Cocoa does have caffeine, but it's really not that much, even compared to tea. I'll also have a tea in the middle of the day if I start feeling super dopey. The problem, as far as I can tell, isn't the caffeine, it's the amount in single+closely followed consecutive doses... I guess. Other than that, Camomile and mint. There are a bunch of other fancy herbal alternatives but, those three are a good enough variety for me.
