[QUOTE="t_spacemonkey, post: 261422, member: 44502"] back in december I quit coffee. lasted 3 months. felt really amazing. had no withdrawal at that point, but month 1 was rough. then went back on it. fast forward I think it was a mistake. will do another withdrawal soon. caffeine is a slave drug. it messes with your emotions/happiness/calm and for some like me causes anxiety and weird cravings. the key is it NOT to cold turkey lol. especially from 500mg. a quick taper is good. the way I withdrew back in dec is first 2 weeks i took plain caffeine pills. first week 2x50mg (caffeine+l-theanine), second week just 50mg. then the next 2 weeks i drank 1 drink called drinkupdate. it has paraxanthine in it which is a caffeine metabolite. that completely killed my physical symptoms like headaches. after 2 weeks I stopped completely and started supplementing acetyl-l-tyrosine+dlpa which helped with the 'dopamine crash'. by month 2-3 it was all over. the problem I have is that wife likes it and is not willing to stop. so each AM she makes one and invites me. but the benefits far outweight the side effects for me. i think it hinders fat loss efforts big time. despite a lot are saying it actually helps. it messes with slowing down and connecting with nature. but i understand this is not everybody [/QUOTE]
