Caffeine is decently addictive? I can’t remember the last day I didn’t have a cup.

  The withdrawal period is less than a month: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine_dependence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine_dependence

    But isn’t a month a long time? The detox period for heroin is around a week as far as I know

      It’s not quite the same kind of withdrawal. I routinely take weeks long breaks from Adderall and while I am a bit more tired and definitely less productive, it’s not like you get physically ill. There really isn’t much in the way of withdrawal and anecdotally, what symptoms there may be don’t last longer than two weeks.

    The withdrawal period for opiates is about the same. Its the same for many substances, this does not matter in the eyes of the war on drugs people. That's not why drugs are controlled

      The withdrawal symptoms are nothing compared to opiates.

    Caffeine was equally as hard to quit as Lexapro for me. Do not recommend attempting to quit both at the same time.
