I can barely control my use of caffeine. Without it, I turn into a raging psychopath. And I'm consuming more and more of it all the time. Heroin terrifies me.

- eurasiantiger 6y agoCaffeine, or coffee? They are very different substances: one is a pure alkaloid with well-defined effects, the other is a concoction of hundreds, possibly thousands of active ingredients. Most relevantly, coffee contains a relatively large amount of Harmala alkaloids, which are a family of beta-carboline monoamine oxidase inhibitors commonly found in Ayahuasca brews (and named after one of its ingredients, Penganum harmala).
- mabbo 6y agoI'm down to just black tea, but a lot of it. Occasional cola as well. Honestly, I need to ween myself back a bit.
- bserge 6y agoI would say caffeine is easy to quit, but I'm an alcoholic so I understand perfectly. It seems like you don't need it, yet you use it regularly. Try caffeine pills, they have a cleaner effect with no stomach/intestine troubles. Somewhat easier to quit, too.
