Caffiene Detox
The only other related thread on search was 7 years old...
So anyway, has any one done a caffeine detox before? Anyone do it regularly?
I decided to attempt it when I tested my blood and some of it was out of whack among other issues. I had trouble staying up for any length of time aside from early morning, by noon I'd want to go to bed had I not had any coffee. Seeing if a tolerance reset and real sleep would sort it out in about 7-10 days. I'm on day 3.
Pre-day one, had a small coffee (It was actually leftovers from the previous day) because I anticipated the migraines.
Day 1 was painful Migraine day and my Monday, so double **** storm. That was not a fun day. I had trouble at work staying both awake and focused. Chugged a lot of water, > 1 gallon. Slept as soon as I got off work for 11ish hours.
Day 2 Mild migraine, no where near the levels of bad day 1 was. Continued with the water to help me stay awake. Stayed up for a bit after work, slept for 8-9ish hours.
Day 3 Started well, felt a little bit of a headache, but it has since subsided. I had a bunch of food and I'm not tired yet from that either. Not as much water today though, I should get on that.
I should add that I've only been drinking water these last few days, and it feels like my appetite is increased. Maybe just for some type of sugar-dopamine rush. Overall, I have been feeling much better "mentally", I was pretty dependent on that caffeine it seems.
Have any of you attempted it? I honestly thought I'd "relapse" after the 2nd day. I was already bargaining on the first, but the second I kind of forgot about it.
I'm actually really excited to have that cup of coffee at the end of the week or whatever. It'll be like the first time allll over again.

I tried to get rid of caffeine addiction myself, but then I thought, why would I do this? After all, in small doses, coffee is a very healthy drink and a natural energy source for our bodies. And by the way, for many people who want to quit drinking coffee, it is complicated to do this, and this addiction can be compared to a narcotic one. In general, I recently read a lot of information about medical detox on this site -- https://fherehab.com/detox/, and I think you all should read this interesting article. After all, many people do not know how the detox of the body works.

I literally quit drinking alcohol a year ago, but it was a very difficult test in life and I will remember it forever. But I'm glad I'm free now.
