If you want to quit coffee, switch to half caffeine coffee. After a week, reduce the amount of half caff for another week before quitting all together. This will avoid the worse withdraw symptoms.

Hang in there. You will perhaps lose a few pounds without effort due to no longer retaining so much water. I went eight weeks with headaches before they subsided, but you are not me and likely won't suffer so long. I drank soda, not coffee, and I quit because my teeth were being ruined by the stuff (I've had that issue since fixed as well, as it has been years since I quit soda). Cold turkey is a rough road, but I didn't even miss soda once the headaches were gone. Still don't. Hate coffee and tea, so since then it's just been water only.

@psychedelicartistry
@psychedelicartistry Ай бұрын
@@OSS976 Not a good idea for several reasons. 1. All decaf will do is make you wanna drink regular coffee might as well kick the habit and learn to live without drinking it. 2. Decaf has a very, very small amount of caffeine in it. Not enough to notice, but why would you put your brain through that? 3. The solution sounds akin to telling an alcoholic to drink non-alcoholic beer.

I stand by quitting caffeine and the good thing about it is there are a lot of caffeine free products. (update: I haven't had caffeine in 9 months, still worth it) (Update 2: I Hadn't had caffeine for over a year until I started a new job and started drinking it again, I quit again and It has improved everything yet again)

Amen brother! Best decision I made was to quit. I feel so much better in mind and in body I am more productive, energetic and feel rested. My sleep has improved tremendously and I wake up feeling energised and ready to tackle the day. My work productivity has dramatically increased. My mind clarity is like never before. I feel calm, relaxed and happier in general. I highly recommend anyone reading this to take the plunge and quit caffeine and see how it goes. I can almost guarantee you will have the same reaction as I have and will make a positive decision of quitting this drug. Ps. I do still consume cacao which I believe has some trace elements of caffeine in it, but nowhere near what Coffee has and I still feel amazing whilst enjoying chocolate.😋😋😋

I'm on day 2 of cold turkey. Yesterdays headache was pretty rough. Had me in bed basically the entire time. I'm shocked now on day 2 how bad my body feels in general. Feels like I have the flu. I'm also fasting, only drinking water and herbal tea, no caffine or sugar. So i'm sure that contributes a bit. I planned on cold turkeying my marijuana consumption as well but given the headaches/body aches I caved. Maybe once I'm passed these caffine withdrawls and done with the fast I'll trying stopping the marijuana. Idk folks i'm pretty alarmed at how physically dependant I am on caffine. I've struggled with other drug addictions in the past, but those were "bad" drugs right? After withdrawl symptoms this bad i'm tempted to lump caffine in with the other "bad" drugs.

I personally see no reason to stop drinking coffee, but congratulations to those of you that have. I see from reading in the comments there are many that have given up or reduced their coffee intake. Look, I am 57 years old and coffee is one of the few things I still enjoy, and have for about the last 40 years. Am I addicted? Perhaps, but it is legal, not very expensive, and doesn't seem to hurt me. I don't buy coffee at shops. I buy a can from the grocery store and brew it myself at work. The way I see it, over the years I gave up illicit drug use, stopped smoking, and quit drinking alcohol. Coffee is the one thing I still enjoy.

I stopped drinking coffee. I used to drink litres of coffee each day, from morning until I go to bed. It was hard. But it changed my life. It changed it more than quitting smoking or alcohol actually. Coffee was originally a way for employers to get more out of their staff. They’d give you 15 minutes and a drug so that you’d have higher productivity when you came back to work. I’ve even quit hard drugs and nothing had a better effect than quitting coffee. Not to mention I save thousands a year not buying a cup every 2 hours.

I quit drinking coffee 3 years ago. It was mostly vanity at the time because I had broken my leg and arm and was in a acute care center and hated to have to ask for my diaper to be changed. Coffee is a diuretic. What I wasn't prepared for is how much better I slept, and how much less I peed. It's an insidious drug though because I too went back and now I'm having to go through withdrawal again.

One thing I remember that helped some, was taking one excedrin (it has caffeine) each day for a few days and that helped with the massive headaches. I gotta look for a pre-workout without caffeine.

Quit caffeine in December 2021. Was having 5 protein shakes with coffee a day. Quit during my work holiday break and all I could do was legitimately sleep for 14 to 18 hours a day for a whole week. Felt like I was wired on caffeine for years and my body and brain, particularly my pineal gland needed the rest to catch back up. After the first month, it is great, no caffeine crashes, much calmer mood and steady. My focus is not anywhere near what it was, especially in the gym, I day dream a lot still but it isn't a bad thing, it is just different, I'd say more creative or artistic value in my mind instead of physical productivity. Funny this video was made 2 days ago when I had been on this journey only recently.

This is exciting, I've quit before when I found I got TOO addicted, but would get back into it then simply reduce, but last time I quit, I had zero withdrawals and simply figured, 'see I wasn't addicted anyway,' and got back into moderate habit. I've not been able to shake my mild blood pressure rise so decided to commit to stopping this drug and hopefully also fix my light sleep/early awakening. I weened off appropriately it seems. No headaches or mood, but it was a struggle a couple times, then I went to donate blood last week and my non-medicated bp was excellent, confirming to stick out my intervention. Then today I needed that midday boost so decided to search the web and found more 'benefits to coffee,' like aging, Alzheimer's and health. Fortunately, I'm suspicious and figured the study was sponsored by Big Coffee. Meanwhile, this video portrays the phases and encourages my marching on. Just say no.

PSA: At 4:18 - 4:22 in this video, the voiceover states that caffeine can reduce blood flow to the brain by 27% (which would mean only 73% of normal blood flow remains). The infographic played alongside this is a bar labeled "blood flow to the brain" draining from 100% to 27%, incorrectly implying the opposite of these numbers: 73% reduction and 27% remaining. On a side note, directly after this statement the video points out that quitting caffeine will reverse this effect (showing a 27% increase in blood flow) but percentages don't work like this. For an easy explanation of this, imagine you have 100 apples. If you lose 50% of these apples you'll be left with 50 apples. Then if your apple stocks increase by 50% afterwards, they will go up to 75, not 100.

I drank so much caffeine, that it didnt even made me feel awake anymore and then i just drank it to avoid those headaches. Once i had even problems with beeing so tired, that i was not even able to open my eyes anymore, cause it felt so bright. Probably also because of a big lack of sleep in the past. Since i stopped, i really had many positive effects. I can sleep way better and feel always awake in the morning with a good mood already. I switched from caffeine to some energybars (without caffeine) and Fruits / Vegtables to get energy. I wish that i would be also more alert without caffeine when i play video games and stuff after a long day at work, but sometimes im just to tired then. But maybe it is still cause i drank way to much caffeine in the past and need more time to recover. Good Video, does really help me to stick to a caffeine free life.

I did experience tiredness for the first couple of days, but I switched to herbal teas as a replacement or just drink lots of water. I jittered as well, but I wasn't really into looking for coffee after though (as if I had a choice lol). When I did drink one time after feeling a little better, I kinda uhhh wanted to stop drinking lol. It tastes different to me after a few days of not drinking, so I just stopped slowly. Ngl, it made my mind more clear with ideas, less anxious, got things done more at work and vivid dreams after nights of not having one! I have ADHD too, so I thought that would help my brain focus more at work, but it did the opposite for me. Now that I'm completely better from my stomach illness, I promised to keep it up like this and treat coffee as a treat on paydays, hangouts or weekends. The rest of the days will be either water or tea. I guess that's one way my body wants to tell me to ease up on the caffeine lol

I quit coffee for seven weeks this summer after being a very heavy coffee consumer for nine years. After 24 hours or so, I got a low-grade headache that lasted for about a day and a half. After a few days beyond this point, I had no noticeable withdraw symptoms at all, and each day I cared less and less about coffee. After a few weeks, it was as if I had never drank coffee before. I simply didn't care about it. I actually felt like my energy level may have picked up a little and my sleep may have gotten a little better. Other than that, no noticeable changes, physical or psychological. The only reason I re-started drinking coffee was because my work schedule changed to overnights, and I needed to stay awake.

Ia have been drinking coffee for many years. I have managed to quit it two times, each tine having bad pain and withdrawal symptoms. I have stayed without any caffeine for months, but the thing is, that I am not an active, energetic type of person. I tend to be lazy and to procrastinate. Even after montha of no caffeine I remained kind if sluggish and needed multiple naps per day,although I work out almost every day and eat good food with vegetables and fruits. So in the end I estimated that coffee outweighs the cons and provide more benefits to me. This is why I started consuming caffeine for a third time in my life. TL:DR I totally agree for a person to test a no caffeine period in their life and to decide how it impacts it.

What I noticed was this - I did not really feel all that more energetic and I don't believe that my sleep cycles were any better than normal. Despite this, I did feel overall less foggy, which was interesting. I did notice my teeth start to whiten back up for sure. I did not notice changes really in blood pressure or heart rate. The most interesting realization was this though - I have Tourette Syndrome and my tics got way worse off of caffeine. It was super noticeable and uncomfortable. I generally have a pretty minor case so flare ups are pretty prominent for me. I did end up going back on caffeine after all was said and done, and lo and behold, my tics subsided.

I would consume a coffee every morning, 2 12oz Red Bulls for lunch and another energy drink towards the end of my work shift and finally a bang energy drink prior to my gym workouts. One day my body decided to stop cold turkey. It was very strange because my body wasn’t craving it. Let me tell you. I had the worst withdrawals and headaches. The pain was horrible. I didn’t know what was wrong with me at the time and I was taking Tylenol every moment I could. I then realized i wasn’t consuming the same amount of caffeine daily. My symptoms lasted about 12 days.

I tried to quit coffee "cold turkey" several years ago after 3 years of drinking it daily, bad idea! Within 12-18 hours I got a massive headache, that led to vomiting and dizziness. I was only 26 yrs old at the time, but it was quite a shock.

Though i do experience better mood in the morning or increased appetite, it wasnt major enough to make me want to forget coffee xD

@@erkatry drinking coffee isn't the problem. Actually there are more health benefits to drinking coffee than not. The problem is, like with most things, when it's drunken in excess (more than 6 cups a day). Plus, most people, especially Americans, really don't like the taste of coffee and load it with cream and sugar which of course has its own problems but coffee itself is great

@@erkatry 2-3 cups of coffee isn't that much, especially if you are drinking coffee that is not that strong. Here in Chile most office workers drink 6-10 full cups of black coffee a day. My grandpa runs and owns a factory and he is one of those people, he gets headaches if he hasn't drink in a more than 3 or 4 hours. Drinking 2-3 cups a day or drinking on and off and not getting withdrawls doesn't have to do with your tolerance, it just means you haven't been drinking high amounts of coffee consistently for a period of time. It's the same reason you can drink one or two glasses of wine for literally a lifetime and I assure you you will not get any withdrawl symptoms if you stopped drinking.

I recently switched to tea. Yes. There is some caffeine, but it is so much better. I dont crave it, it isnt jittery, and it has way more to it than just the caffeine. I can have four or five cups of tea for one cup or coffee, and I have noticed several immediate benefits.

Coffee is ingrained into every community known to man, like the health community, the minimalist community, the student community etc. It's in consumerism, in every supermarket and home goods store, on a mug with a sign saying 'I am not me before coffee' or slogan cushions. There are more coffee places in just one city to chose from than we could visit in a year.

I don't think I have a caffeine addiction..I don't really rely on it like a lot of people do. I get Starbucks every once in a while, maybe twice a week at most, I even only have one energy drink a week. Not gonna lie, it's kinda nice having that privilege but for those who are quitting and finding it difficult...You got this and you're doing great!

I gave up coffee and I am glad I did. No more heart palpitations or anxiety. Maintaining a health weight because no more cream or sugar being added. Another benefit is Time no more wasting time making the coffee. I love all the money I have saved too. Eating healthy along with stopping coffee has naturally increased my energy levels and I feel more calm

I started drinking coffee over a year ago, in my mid-twenties. But I'm not addicted to it. When I'm sick, or when I had ongoing dental works, I stopped drinking it for days/weeks and noticed no difference. I think I somehow associate it with the workplace now and I often don't drink any during weekends. I sometimes drink it at very late hours and then just sleep. In all fairness, I don't drink huge amounts, and I'm glad I recently stopped adding sugar. I'd say I could give it up anytime. 🤷‍♀️

I was on coffee for 30 years. Then last summer discovered by blood pressure was lethally hypertensive (like ‘why hasn’t your head exploded’ level). One of the first things to stop was my caffeine intake. Thankfully the heart med I was taking actually prevented withdrawals. I just do decaf now, although I jacked up the amount of coffee grounds so it still tastes like regular.

I am in the process of getting caffeine due to having anxiety. I only used to drink one coffee in the morning and a Pepsimax In the evening. I have been having a small cup of tea for the last 5 days, have had headaches and felt pretty tired but feeling more calm. After 7 days I will try stopping the tea.

I'm on day 1 of quitting coffee and sugar. I am an insomniac and hyper sensitive. I feel fricken amazing. But I often react totally opposite than what others do. Plus I'm naturally always hyper. So this tired feeling, feels amazing for me. Most don't want to feel tired, I crave it. I'm excited to see how this goes.

When circumstances arise that prevent me from drinking caffeine, it can go up to a week and I have withdrawals as described in this video. I just get tired and miss the smell and taste
