Has anyone here quit caffeine after consuming it regularly for years? What was your experience, and was it worth it?
I’m considering doing this because I feel it is affecting my mood, energy, anxiety, and overall stability.
Not needing validation or anything, just curious to chat about it if anyone else has been through decaffeination
Yeah, a bunch of times. I did five years in the coffee shop mines where excess consumption was encouraged. Switching to halfcaf or decaf when ordering coffee and switching to black tea as my morning drink helped a lot. I cut back because I was getting stomach indigestion, anxiety, loss of appetite, that kind of stuff. And upon reflection, I was actually more tired the more I drank caffeine; I was basically slug energy anytime I wasn’t actively consuming caffeine. Cutting it out has helped my energy levels a lot. I’m overall better off cutting it out and encourage you to give it a try.
