Jen in NY Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Could my aching joints be caused by abruptly stopping my 8 cup a day habit? Oh, and also my sudden inability to think, read, concentrate, or function? That too? Share your experience with me... how long is this gonna last? :blink: Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get very cranky and tired too. It seems like the world is going much too fast and I am in slow motion. I also bloat since tea is a diuretic! :001_huh: It is not a fun time, but it should pass in about a week. I have found that the cravings to have it again never seem to go away, hence the reason I once again am consuming caffeine:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlashine Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 My headache lasted for a full week when I forcibly went without caffeine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Governess Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Oh, definitely. I only drink one cup a day (i'm highly sensitive to caffeine), but if I miss it for a day or two I start to get very anti-social, foggy-brained, and just plain cranky. And get a headache that goes away as soon as I drink my next cup of coffee. I agree that to get it completely out of your system will take a week and it will be a long one. Advil is your friend during this time. ;) Stay strong!!! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found that the cravings to have it again never seem to go away, hence the reason I once again am consuming caffeine:glare: Me too. I couldn't stay away. When I haven't had coffee for two days, I get so depressed I want to sit down and weep at every little thing. My poor husband has to talk me down, and he's finally learned to start asking me about the last time I had caffeine. I would have said to wean off slowly, but since it's too late for that, just fasten your seat belt and keep some Advil handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
