    i used to drink caffeine a lot in the form of soda or coffee. i felt like it never made me extra hyper or anything, it was just something that tasted good. i stopped cold turkey just due to the fact i think its really unhealthy. i had a headache but it was nothing crazy. i expected it too.

    now whats really weird is 5 years later, when i drink a cup of coffee i am SET for hours. it really hits me hard. so if you have stopped, wait for a while without any caffeine at all, and then drink a cup of coffee. its weird how your body can change like that

    cause your body is used to it. like i said, get off it for an extended period of time, then drink a cup. i used to be just like you, but now (years after leaving caffeine behind) if i drink a cup of expresso or something it lights me up for ~3 hours. then i crash of course...

    I've done it before. It really doesn't bother me either way.

    I was a 4 -5 cup a day caffeine fiend while at work and would drink about as much on the weekend. I gave up caffeine about 6 months ago and now I sleep better, am much better at my job as I am able to be more focused on the task at hand and now I don't get that mid afternoon drowsiness that makes me want more caffeine.

    I do mix my morning cup at about 90% de caff and 10% caffeine.

    When I do have any straight caffeine, which is almost never now, I get off like a rocket on it.

    Feel much better without it.

    I do this every few years. I always feel better when "off" of it, but I generally drink it in soda form and I drink soda more for the calories than caffeine. Problem is, there are no caffeine free sodas in the soda machine at work (only place I really drink soda). If I had more money to burn I would just keep the fridge at the office stocked with some good juice drinks for when I am hungry, but I am pinching pennies to try to move into a bigger house next year. After that, I'm sure something else will come up... I know I am just making excuses, but I really feel like I would be healthier if I had more money

    I used to do gymnastics through college and when I would drink caffeine before workouts it would totally throw me off. It made me really jittery even though I couldn't feel anything at all unless I was upside down trying to balance myself on a couple wooden bars! Although I drank a ton of Mtn Dew in High school, I quit all soda for almost my entire college career. I kinda wish I had never started drinking it again...

    i don’t have a caffeine problem

    McDonalds bacon angus burger meal with a monster at 11am
    subway foot long meatball marinara plus a can of nos at around 3pm
    dinner and another monster around 6-630ish pm.
    plus numerous cans of vault through out the day.

    right now ive got whats left of three 12 packs of vault and two 24 packs of Dr. Thunder sitting right under my desk for while i study. the mini fridge is legit loaded to the top with sodas and energy drinks. but ive gotta say i dont really ever have any problems when i dont drink the stuff. lately ive been getting 'enhanced water', pretty much a Snapple knockoff, with every meal at my schools dining hall. i dont really notice a difference in energy after not having the caffeine. Also on the weekends when im at home there’s never any soda. Maybe because I’m constantly getting high dosages of caffeine and then zero caffeine on the weekend my body has never gotten addicted to it?

    now i want to stop just to see what happens.

    edit:
    awwww wtf! chocolate has caffeine in it!?!?!? sooooo no more peanut m&m's..... now thats gonna be hard because ive got a nice big bag of them right next to me and there calling my name lol

    Usually have a 20oz. coffee and an Amp energy drink on the days I work. I've stopped in the past, usually end up with a week long headache (caffeine constricts the blood vessels in your brain, without it, they swell) and then I'm fine after.
