I can tell you really going through caffeine withdrawals lol.
Never was a fan of caffeine, even now. Makes me feel worse especially the downswing...dont take preworkout or anything anymore. Any stimulant is a crutch IMO especially used chronically. If you really need caffeine in the first placr, prob are not in balance

Caffeine in different drinks has quite different effects I think. I don’t see green tea mentioned too often on here (I know it’s supposed to be a DHT inhibitor?), but I find that makes you more alert, better focus, & a much gentler caffeine high compared to coffee (and macha green tea has quite a lot of caffeine)
Coffee is more of a ‘hit’ of caffeine, but you definitely build a tolerance to it - coffee shops just smell so good as well, makes you have to like drinking it!

I feel calm on caffeine, even black w/o sugar/milk but it is not good for my stomach. Sometimes it can even make me sleepy.
Now I just eat some chocolate for extra copper. Has some caffeine in it but I do not notice "crash". With coffee I do.
It also lowers my sex drive if I drink a lot of caffeine for a period.
It is fantastic for motivation and getting shit done. Especially boring work. Similar to other stimulants. It can also improve depression symptoms if you feel like shit.
But for me potassium chloride + magnesium chloride has similar effect but it is clean all day.

i feel the same effect of lowering my sex drive, even not drinking everyday, but i have a confuse effect on mood, sometimes i feel calm too , but sometimes i feel anxious and have problems to sleep, and when i put coffe with milk and sugar this give me headaches.

I went 6 months without caffeine after daily drinker since legit 15 (28 when I stopped). Last March I decided to drink 3 coffees and get really high one night and go to big basketball game for the thrill of it. Was staying at my buddy’s place in NYC.
In middle of night, my buddy’s girlfriend got up to go to bathroom. It startled me very much and I got up screaming and dropp kicked their coffee table breaking it.
Next morning I had to send a $300 Venmo to my buddy to replace the coffee table.
Moral of the story- don’t relapse on coffee in 6 months with 3 of them and go to a b-ball game @Nina !

Yea I think in these type of illnesses u and I have we want to be as natural as possible. Don’t oversupplement or rely on anything.
Caffeine will bring you out of balance. We want you at your strongest.
I use coffee enemas but haven’t drank coffee since I started fighting this all.
I overdid hydrogen water cuz it made me feel better.... look where it got me. My disease came back the last few months.
So I think we want to be as natural as possible- don’t rely on anything outside betaine hcl, digestive enzymes- ya know gut support.

Much smaller doses plus theanine so your cort doesnt shoot up, but IMO that is what i would have done if i was trying to get off caffeine. Would have went to tea first then stop completely and taper off.
