I'm trying to quit nicotine again after a semi-successful attempt a couple of months ago, and I thought, if I'm going to go through withdrawals for this, maybe it would be worth it to quit caffeine while I'm at it?
Is it worth it though? Do the cons of a caffeine addiction outweigh the pros?
There isn't. In my experience you cannot have caffeine routinely because you will inevitably build up a tolerance and you will feel awful if you don't increase your intake. I've been having around 40mg a day for a week to improve my wake up time and I'm already starting to feel depressed and tired once it wears off. After like three days you aren't getting a boost from it, you're just staving off the withdrawal effects. The only thing that has helped my tiredness is a nap at noon.
