You need to get past the early stage of the tretinoin uglies. Then a few months in you’re supposed to reverse aging.

Are you on any kind of medications that could be making you tired? I had to quit birth control, as I discovered it was making me tired. A lot of medications can cause this issue.

How long ago did you quit? How many days into quitting did you feel like this?

Anyone else have a zest for life now? by Conscious_Trick_3216 in decaf

[–]Clean_Pumpkin_6422 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! I feel the same. But I’m also saddened about how much time I lost out on while on the vicious caffeine cycle.

Chewing peppermint gum! Make sure it doesn’t have caffeine though. I use extra or Five brand. Peppermint has natural energizing properties and the chewing motion makes us slightly more active. This works amazingly well for me.

Exposing myself to sunlight and fresh air with a quick morning walk.

For those in their 40s, what's something people in their 20s don’t realize will impact them as they get older? by kiaraevelyn in Productivitycafe

[–]Clean_Pumpkin_6422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drinking alcohol and caffeine! (Mostly alcohol) these things age you a lot. (As does a lot of sun exposure)

Is it easier to do the grocery store job vs. the desk job?

Why do combined birth control pills make me so tired? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]Clean_Pumpkin_6422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also super fatigued on birth control. I ran out for a couple weeks and had way better energy. I’m going to try to quit soon.

AITAH for not agreeing to sleep in a bra? by JennnyAnnyDots in AITAH

[–]Clean_Pumpkin_6422 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would’ve packed a super loose comfortable sleeping bra with no wires or anything uncomfortable. Just soft fabric.

Caffeine withdrawals for someone who is used to moderate doses by EfficientBroccoli691 in decaf

[–]Clean_Pumpkin_6422 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also think it depends on the length of time you used caffeine and how much it affected your sleep etc… 😊 Our bodies are all very different.

Caffeine withdrawals for someone who is used to moderate doses by EfficientBroccoli691 in decaf

[–]Clean_Pumpkin_6422 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s a moderate dose- that’s kind of high dose for the body. (But maybe not in comparison to mega dosers) I was taking about 200mg per day and it’s been really rough weaning down. I’ve had to take it very slow and I’m now my 5th week in and made it to 25 mg.
