[QUOTE="dickielongate, post: 156966, member: 38930"] I totally quit caffeine. I always knew it made me jittery and I didn't like the dependence. Medically speaking it's dependence not addiction as is often stated, but it's a real thing. I do believe many caffeine users find that in the morning it gets them going, but later in the day, it's less effective. I do also believe when tolerance is low enough, the euphoria of caffeine can be great. But once some of us enter the stage of higher tolerance, as is typical, the effect can be more like staving off dependence. There is no doubt caffeine dependence and effects on mood, blood pressure, cortisol regulation are varied from person to person, so I'm sure it's fine for many. For me it's really not fine. I've spent 20+ years with cortisol out of whack, and retrospectively, can now appreciate how it affected my interactions with people. Since quitting caffeine and adding in ashwaghanda, I can honestly say I'm a different person. Very interesting to learn that my chemistry rather than psychology was at the root of my experiences. I had borderline low t4 and high tsh (5-6) when starting TRT. I never felt as I hoped i would on TRT until I ditched caffeine and added NDT and modafinil. Right now I feel better than ever. If you want to feel 'stimulated', caffeine or ritalin might be preferable to you. For me being stimulated means I am not 'myself'. I've really enjoyed being completely calm and yet alert, something I've never managed before. [/QUOTE]
