- mcculley 5y agoIt was not bad. I wrote about it in the linked blog piece. I also recommend /r/decaf where you can get support from others who have been and are going through decaffeinating.
- grecy 5y agoI'm not the person you replied to, but I can share my experience. I used to drink at least 2 cups of coffee a day, and at least 3-4 of black tea. over a year I slowly backed down to just a single coffee coffee in the morning.. then eventually switched to decafe coffee for that one. I had headaches for about a week, and I think I was irritable. Recently I stopped even the decafe coffee, and now drink 1 or 2 decafe tea a day when it's cold. I feel great, save money and don't miss the ups and downs of real coffee - I used to get the sweats, shakes, funny shallow breathing, etc. etc. I also had no idea I was living life through a "fog", that I didn't even know about until a few months after I stopped. Life is much better now.
- axiosgunnar 5y agoLiterally just a few days of headache/foggy brain. Then it‘s magically gone. Not even close to a full week. Just do it.
