    Slightly more useful advice though: it helps to maintain a low tolerance to your stimulants of choice (coffee/nicotine/amphetamines) by not using then regularly, or taking tolerance breaks when you can get a couple weeks with less pressure on you. They're more useful when you really need them that way.

    For resetting caffeine I do 2 week breaks, though one can probably get away with as little as 1 to reset tolerance. I'll taper down the first two days with one mug of black tea on the first, and one mug of green tea on the second. Fatigue, sleep pattern changes,, and headache are basically unavoidable with caffeine withdrawal, just gotta thug it out. OTC sleep aids and pain medicine can help.

    I don't smoke regularly and I tend to avoid harder stimulants because I expect I'd form addiction with them super easily, so other users will have to give advice on those.
