Something nobody told me about caffeine is that you can get withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it
Like
I went from consuming NO caffeine, to slowly escalating to around 150-300mg of caffeine a day to keep up with sleep issues, to suddenly stopping cold turkey when I flew out to the middle of nowhere and couldnât get more and it was straight up a solid 5-6 days of thinking I had the flu
Nausea, spins, major fatigue, and some seriously heinous headaches
It was so bad that after two weeks without I swore Iâd never pick up an energy drink again and made an appointment with a doctor to fix my sleep issues
Like. Not to be all âoooooh your body is a templeâ but if I knew quitting CAFFEINE had similar effects as running out of my prescription meds I might have been a bit more careful drinking it in the first place
