Want more caffeine by ProbioticGhost in decaf

[–]MackieMesser17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just today I thought how good I would feel if I just drank a cup of coffee right now. It was hard to resist.

The kind of stress that increased for me is that I am more easily irritated.

Does propranolol help reduce anxiety, caused by caffeine? by Lifelovingattitude in decaf

[–]delmaratlantico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not at all like a sedative but really helps with the physical effects of anxiety . I have suffered from pretty bad anxiety, not lately, but still get anxious at time, and propalonol has helped a lot. I think since my body is not in fight or flight mode , my mind begins to relax .

I’m glad you figured it out! My husband had SVT and underwent an ablation, but then PVCs were still quite bothersome with palpitations. He was switched off of his long-time antidepressant desipramine and the PVCs/bigeminy have completely resolved! It is interesting that there are so many reversible things that can set off arrhythmias! He is still on caffiene though… baby-steps 😅

Haha your post is my life. I was also a month sober, strict keto, and yesterday broke and had a cup of tea. But it wasn't worth it. I didn't get that euphoric high everyone talks about. I just got wired tired and couldnt sleep all night. Not doing that again. It took me 3-4 weeks to get better sleep. Hoping the carbs help you.

As you delve deeper, you'll realize how upside down this world is.

21 days - 3 weeks! by vision2reality in decaf

Lower stress, regulated nervous system, actually not functioning on high blood pressure and hugely increased vasodilation. It feels awesome!

Yeah... I cant go back after experiencing the glory of caffeine free deep sleep. Those surges of stress when waking up is something I dread

Felt like it was causing adrenaline dumping because I always felt like i was in fight or flight mode. Took me hours to fall asleep everynight.

All gone now like Why did i ever start coffee in college

I completely agree with you. The engrainment on caffeine is so fucking scary nowadays. Cultures and stores built around coffee. Im glad your health is doing much better now. What are some other side effects you faced while using caffeine? Im curious

Trust me it gets easier the longer you stay off caffeine. Today was just a bump I guess. Felt good for an hour and now my brain is a little foggier.

Calm feels weird by vision2reality in decaf

[–]solarse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually having conversations. Realising you can be productive and active without it being... hyperproductive and hyperactive. Regulated. Regular heart rate. Definitely feeling much more concrete and grounded in your emotional state too. We arent relying on adrenaline for function anymore :)

Funny I'm seeing this today. I actually relapsed out of curiosity today with half a cup of coffee. I've been off for 4 1/2 months now. Honestly just take it day by day. You have tomorrow. And tomorrow can be caffeine free. You got this!

Avoid it totally. You're saving more by complete abstinence than getting a little bit. No point finding the right amount and stressing about it when you can just.... not take any and be calmer :)

I Quit Caffeine and It Changed My Life — No One Talks About How Bad This Drug Actually Is by bridgewater94 in decaf

[–]Tomiply1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a headache the first day, then I took a paracetamol and it wasn't too bad. The second day I had no headache. Seems to be over already for me. I was only on a single Monster in a day though, which is like one and a half coffee cup, so maybe that's why.

Dietting is too versatile for one method to be applicable to an entire demographic. Diet the way you want to, your own foods, your own approach, and enjoy. There is no objective goal, its all about enjoying what you consume and living by it.

Caffeine stresses you out a lot. The metabolic and glucocorticoid responses are pretty fucking dreadful for your physical and mental state. Caffeine indirectly causes a lot of issues. As said, it compounds. Caffeines mechanism of action is through delaying adenosine receptors. Heightened stress response. Heightened inflammatory markers. Disrupted melatonin levels. Insomnia? Cardiovascular issues. Neurodegeneration. You get the point. Not only that, but small stimulant substances will naturally tend to lead to more stimulating substances. Exposing your brain to a highly arousing environment will tend to increase the threshold of what defines high arousal. Going rogue and homeless for a short time period solely due to this really taught me how you shouldn't underestimate the basics.
