> Thus, if you quit the caffeine intake suddenly after many days or weeks of regular intake, you get a crash of biblical proportions. Anecdotally, I had the flu a week at a bit ago. When I'm ill I take my caffeine intake down to zero (so I'm not compromising my sleep). This time I stuck with it. Over the last 10-ish days I've had half a cup of caffeinated coffee. The rest has been decaf (which I believe typically has some trace amounts of caffeine). I used to drink at least 2 cups, usually 3 per day, occasionally more. I've had no side effects from going to zero. Maybe I wasn't heavy enough of a coffee drinker? But I did expect to feel it while I detoxed. Guess not.
