Quit caffeine that way. Brutal. Felt like shit for a good solid two weeks. Didn't feel normal for another month.
But I did it and now I'm caffeine-free. :)
You must've been drinking a lot
Well from the literature I read, it affects people differently. I drank a lot, but probably not as much as coffee drinkers.
My caffeine was mainly Mountain Dew. Couple of 20 oz bottles a day, every day for several years. Not much compared to most gamers and shit.
But for me, it was very very painful and uncomfortable to quit.
I also know someone who drank coffee every day all day, way more caffeine than I did, and she quit cold turkey. One day headache, then she was good.
It also has the sugar right?
Hmmm, I never really thought about the sugar part. I wasn't aware there were withdrawal symptoms from sugar. So I didn't think about it.
Well, I don't know about any withdrawal symptoms. I just know that it's like a drug.
