For years I knew caffeine was causing my extreme anxiety, but I kept drinking it. It’s like I was addicted to the way it made me feel, I almost think I enjoyed tweaking out for some reason. I’d probably consume 500-600 mg per day, 3 or 4 cups of coffee. I knew it was directly linked to my anxiety, because after I’d drink a cup of coffee, I’d have anxiety so bad for a few hours that I couldn’t even converse with my roommates without feeling so anxious that I was shaking, the type of anxiety where you just feel weird as hell, your vision is almost blurred and you are shaky and confused.

I still drink a single espresso in the morning, maybe 60 mg of caffeine, and that’s it. The level my anxiety has dropped is honestly crazy, it’s extremely refreshing to feel so ‘normal’ again. It feels good. I don’t feel as uncomfortable and anxious as I used to just doing simple things like going to the grocery store. I just feel so much more normal.

On top of that, my ability to fall asleep improved so much. I never even drank coffee or had caffeine in the 9 hours before bed time, but I’d still lay in bed with a racing mind for like 5 hours straight some nights. Now I’m asleep within 10-30 minutes at most.

I hardly even noticed any withdrawal, had a headache for a few hours on day one but I was also sleep deprived so I don’t know what to associate that with. Otherwise I feel great, zero withdrawl, if anything I feel better than before.

If you haven’t done it yet, give it a shot. I feel much better.
