Caffeine is extremely addictive and the withdrawal symptoms are quite severe.

I haven't noticed this personally. I quit for two weeks a while back and didn't notice any physical symptoms and just missed the ritual.

How many cups did you drink daily before the break?

[–] Joelk111@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Just one, or an energy drink <=150mg caffeine. Basically, at most 150mg caffeine, any more and I notice issues with my sleep.

You should be well below any intake that would cause withdrawal symptoms. The Mayo clinic lists a cup (237ml) of coffee with 96mg of caffeine. People who I've heard report withdrawal symptoms drink upwards of 5 cups a day.

I wish, man. I get a headache only tylenol can fix if I'm like 3 hours late.
