When I quit caffeine I noticed several things: 1. Anxiety completely diminished 2. Sleep quality was amazing. Fell asleep 3 hours earlier each night without a racing mind 3. Social anxiety went away 4. Stopped fidgeting - phone use went way down & I felt no need to be on it 5. Felt able to focus on one single task without being distracted by anxious thoughts 6. I was able to be much more present in the moment because my mind was calm 7. Appetite normalized & gut inflammation that had been a problem went away Quitting caffeine is hell but when you get to the other side you’ll feel like you’ve woken up from a very long dream. You’ll be a human “being” again, not a human “doing”. It takes away the bodies ability to generate energy organically. I never ever thought it would be the source of the issues listed above but it was.

[@zlimario2976]

Same here, how months you have withdraw, im in one week now

[@Chilloutdesert]

I decided to give up preworkout/caffiene a little over a 1 month ago due to anxiety. The first 3 weeks for me were honestly hell on earth, unmotivated, drowsy all day, would go to bed at 6-7pm, constantly hungry/anxious, and gassy. If you look up withdraw symptoms I had them all lol. But at this point, over a month later I can say its the best decision I've made and anybody who struggles with anxiety from time to time should consider stopping or cutting down significantly if you abuse it like I did. The first 2-3 are the worst, but seriously stick with it and just try to stay focused on the long run. Now I wake up with almost instant energy every morning, something I never felt while on caffiene. Also, stick to a good sleep schedule, meditate, do breathing exercises and focus on what makes you happy. Just like anything else the body needs time to rebalance itself, especially after 10+ years of caffiene. Here are a few supplements I took during and presently that helped alot. Irwin naturals Sunny Mood w/5-htp Irwin naturals Stress Defy Vitamin D You got this, you're gonna be feeling 10000% better before you know it.

Some people develop anxiety in their lives. Some of it is genetic, some is acquired through lifestyle, but for most people anxiety is an "in the moment" feeling which they pretty much don't notice until the stressor hits them directly in the face. I have had GAD for 15 years, and quitting Alcohol and caffeine suppressed 90% of my symptoms completely. I drink coffee and alcohol a couple times per month knowing that the next day or later that day I will feel like sh1t.. As a doctor explained it to me, people with anxiety have a broken alarm system and they notice body noises and feelings more clearly than other people..but are otherwise the same as everyone else.. Alarms such as "feeling of doom", "shakiness", "restlessness", "unable to sleep/insomnia", frequent bathroom trips" and in some cases even "symptoms of a heart attack" without the actual attack.

Great video!! Im quitting coffee tmrw mainly because i am sensitive to something in the coffee which may be something other than caffeine. Coffee causes me to gain weight and its difficult for me to lose weight while drinking coffee. It causes other problems like acid reflux and water retention! Also skin issues, sleep disturbance, increased axiety, increased appetite, along with sugar cravings!! I believe it makes me depressed and messes my hormones up like increasing my cortisol levels!

[@shawnmann9491]

From what I have learned over the years (and observing my coffee obsessed coworkers , with whom I've worked with for 12 years, for a week on and off schedule) coffee raises cortisol. Especially if one happens to work a non normal schedule, i.e, NOT sleeping at night as we are designed to ! This raises bodyfat and has a host of negative physical issues attached to it. I'm no expert, but I've worked with well over 200 people in the last 30 plus years who do shift work, and coffee is no good IMHO.

[@anitaknight3915]

About a week ago I picked up coffee to help with my studies in the morning (the virus online schooling is making me procrastinate). I’ve also become over weight so I’m trying to intermittent fast and have read that coffee aids in fasting. I only do one cup a day and have seen many benefits in energy for my classes and appetite suppressant for my fasting.

I used to have a major caffeine addiction coupled with a bad porn habit many years ago. The cravings for coffee were everywhere- passing a coffee shop, smelling coffee, seeing caffeine in a gas station and the routine of having one on the way to work, have a few at work and one in the way home... I was anxious and irritable all the time unless sedated by coffee and borderline was in rate mode. Breaking the habit took months of consistency but the headaches were the worst part. Extreme 10/10 head aches. Like a knife twisted behind your eyes. While I still have a coffee once in a while without cravings, giving it up was the best decisions and all of the benefits you mentioned are true- especially falling asleep within seconds of laying down.

I drank 3 to 4 cups of coffee daily for 5 years. It was the only thing fueling me since I had to get up at 3:30am to pursue my passion before my day job. I didn't realize how much it changed me until I stopped completely. I developed anxiety that would wake me up at night with my heart pounding... Made me insecure about myself.. And gave me problems in social encounters or job interviews. Once I quit coffee... That sense of dread and urgency finally started to leave my body. My boss says I'm a complely different person now. It was hard to focus for a couple weeks but mushroom tea has helped. I also weaned myself off by only having a sip in the morning. Sometimes I miss the energized happy feeling of it... And on occasion I'll have some.. But the underlying anxiety starts to creep up without me realizing it.

Excellent story sharing and testimony on this subject. I am weaning myself off caffiene right now so thank you so much for the great research and encouragement.

People should not just give up an addiction, but figure out the course of life their taking that demands the need for a drug like caffiene; then seek to change course immediately. God bless

Same man. I remember the first time that I’ve ever experienced anxiety, I was 19. It was the most terrifying experience I’ve ever had. Before all that started, I started drinking large cans of monster to keep awake. At first I thought I was going crazy too but I got off caffeine and it’s gotten rid of 95% of my anxiety

Coffee has really been making me feel this way and I've drank it whole life but I'm gonna have to give it up.

[@eceuygun7974]

thank you so much for this. when i quit caffeine like 10 days ago i started feeling calmer and felt like i was going back to normal after like 5 days. but then i read somewhere on internet that “caffeine doesn’t cause anxiety” bla bla and that suddenly made me feel so bad, i felt like all those things that went inside my head at the times i was drinking coffee was my fault and i thought i had to live with it. even after searching about caffeine allergy i thought doctors would not accept caffeine allergy as a reason and would just give me medication if i tried to get therapy. people need to accept that all bodies are reacting different to food. just because some people “can’t wake up” without coffee, it doesn’t mean that others may suffer from it. without knowing this, just don’t write about it on internet, it just kills people’s hope. now i’m much more hopeful that i’ll be getting better.

[@fonzyb4957]

So happy to see you have stopped your over consumption of coffee. I stopped all caffeine beverages for 7 days about 2 months ago and I just went right back to it by drinking it about 3 to 4 times a day! Today I had only one large ice coffee from Mcdonalds, I wanted another one but I resisted and I started to become very moody and quite upset because I felt I needed it. SCARY! I'll get tired of always feeling so acidic on the inside and quit it soon!

[@KoreaKingy]

Good luck!

[@elzo_smid]

I drastically cut back on coffee, but at the same time I started to take evening walks right before going to sleep (in a safe neighborhood). I would start my routine, check my bed, brush my teeth, ;ower the thermostat etc. and then go for a walk. And at arriving home I went to bed as quick as possible. The result was that I slept better and woke up much better the next morning, more energized but calmer and happier at the same time.

[@Laceh1]

I had panic attacks for 5 years about every week, sometimes several times a day. Eventually I couldn't go outside anymore because I was so afraid. I was a kid back then, I didn't drink coffee but I drank a lot of lemonade. Being on lots of sugar constantly gave me panic attacks too. Coffee definitely does the same and it's worth quitting if you suffer from agoraphobia like I did.

I was only drinking one cup of coffee a day. Constantly had bouts of heartburn during the day and at night. It caused problems with my sleep. Gave it up a couple of weeks ago and now have no problems with heartburn. Hope to stay of coffee forever.

[@KoreaKingy]

That's great to hear man. I know a lot of people that complain of heartburn all the time and drink coffee. I'm sure it doesn't affect everyone that way, but it is pretty prevalent. Hope all goes well.

[@jeremywright5036]

Yup I am literally going cold Turkey on coffee today due to heart burn.

[@carl8568]

Caffeine consumption can effect the function of the lower esophageal sphincter, which is at the base of your throat. This is how it causes heartburn, by allowing your stomach acid to flow upwards. I notice a slight amount even if I've had tea.

[@jeremywright5036]

Omg first week of no coffee was *rough* 2nd week mainly psychological, now I barely think about it. Heart burn much improved.

I consumed roughly 450 miligrams of coffee a day and quit cold turkey a week ago. The first 3 days I was very tired all day long. A week later though I feel amazing. I no longer crash in the afternoon during the last hour or two of work and my energy lasts until bed time. I'm more focused because my mind isn't rushing, this is invaluable because I legit listen to educational podcasts during the work day and now I feel like I actually learn something and can actually "listen" to them, Regular bowel movements, and sleep feels better(I always stopped using caffeine 10-12 hours before bed so it never affected it much) but I do wake up and im ready to go instead of waiting to dtink my coffee and that being what makes me "ready to go"

Thank you for sharing, I also quit coffee because of panic attacks, anxiety, and IBS

[@mentugo]

I can absolulety relate to your experience. I started drinking coffee quite intensively more than 10 years ago during the time I finished the university. Since then I was convinced that I need to drink coffee in the morning and afternoon to deliver results and find motivation. With the years working in stressful jobs as well I drank up to five cups of coffee a day. This was when I developed anxiety attacks that got worse and worse - I thougt it was soley because of the stressful enviroment and I quit my former job. Of course the anxiety attacks where reduced but still present from time to time. In retrospective they happened when I drank coffee or took painkillers containing coffein. Lately my whole digestion was suffering - my colon hurt all the time my stomach was hurting as well - I was tense all the time and felt no relaxation at all. By incident I stopped drinking coffee like I used to now 30 days ago. Reduced the amount to one cup a day - the difference blew me away. The tension disappeard and also the heavy tiredness when I didn't have my former amount of coffeein - my wife says I'am way more relaxed than before, the stomach and colon pain are now merely present, I haven't had this dizzyness and anxiety I felt on a regular basis already and I didn't grave for a beer in the evening to calm myself down. I also have more focus now and am able to remember things more quickly for longer periods. I will stick to one cup a day for enjoyment purposes soley but never should I return to my level of coffein I drank before. -> don't fool yourself, coffein is a drug and it's not harmless at all!

[@Plethorality]

notice how people say "my coffee", not "a coffee".... attached to a drink.

[@leylinetarot]

I've quit drinking coffee multiple times and the thing that makes me want to drink it more is less so about needing energy and more about wanting to get that "energy feeling" ... similar to needing a cigarette... and then when I actually drink it I don't get the feeling I thought I was missing and regret it, yet continue the addiction cycle. Right now I just drink decaf with a half tsp caff when I want a cup and its not as bad

[@tinateews9494]

I started drinking coffee a year ago because of what I read about its health benefits. I love coffee so much and usually had with a toast early in the morning. I've noticed the difference since I stopped for almost two weeks now. My brain feels less foggy and am more energetic. Also my face seems clearer as well.

[@lensofeli1762]

Such great content!!

[@frankbrown4780]

You have to be cautious when dealing with scientific studies. Sometimes there's big money behind them and when you're dealing with caffeine, you're not just dealing with coffee companies, you're also dealing with Coca Cola. I think that's why there's so many articles preaching about how great caffeine is for us. Given how nasty the withdrawl symptoms are and how negatively it affects our sleep, the thing that's so important for our restoration, it's a good indication that caffeine isn't something we should abuse. It should be respected and used sparingly.

I have an active so i need to be awake and full of energy in the morning or else i wouldn't be able to do what i do now. I drank 1 cup in the morning and throughout the first 3 hours at work. Immediate effect there and then, but on the long run i got so fatigued and a rollercoaster of emotions, couldn't sleep even if it was 10 hours since i had my last cup. So i limit my intake by 1 cup in the morning now and that's it just to Wake up and get a good start in the morning. It made a world of difference in how great i feel now.

False. Unless you were OD on coffee in the first place. Other, caffeine increase your mental clarity, enhances sensory input, increase memory and allows you to think better. I'm referring to healthy normal people and those that don't over consume it. If you're naturally hyper/anxious you need to stay away from caffeinated beverages. This what the author of the video should have specified.
