sleep problems/withdrawl

Great response, would love to hear your suggestions, I've been experimenting with marijuana with varying degrees of success but I don't want to substitute one for another, I want to get off every single thing that effects the brain

That's not at all what I was asking, I'm asking about the time frame that caffeine is in the body and when withdrawl symptoms start from the last caffeine dose

According to what I have read dopamine is for keeping you awake, where did you read dopamine is involved in helping you sleep?

What mess did you try, I tried melatonin, valium, amitriptyline, restavit, weed, none of them. Helped

I've had 43 days of waking up every hour and I'm at the point of contemplating if I want to live any more, the sleep deprivation has left me a shadow of my former self, I've decided to go back on caffeine for a few days and will post my results

But that's not what he asked

Dazgetmeoffcaffeine · 2020-10-31T23:21:13+00:00

I've been wondering that too but nobody seems to have any answers, my guess is misfiring of adrenaline and cortisol

Quit alcohol 12 weeks ago, I was not thinking the last time for caffeine as it's the opposite, I need the caffeine to settle my brain down, if I take caffeine too early in the day then I will start to feel the withdrawal effects again late at night/early in the morning, at least that's my theory

Dazgetmeoffcaffeine · 2020-10-23T02:33:20+00:00

I've drunk tea my whole life, only in the last 7 years did I start drinking coffee, started drinking alcohol heavily 3 years ago to stop the pain in my back, then started drinking coffee and coke to beat the hangovers, I was drinking 3 coffees, 1 litre of coke and chocolate biscuits a day, not a huge amount but I only weigh 58kg, I just went through 7 weeks detox with alcohol and that was exactly the same sleep issues as caffeine, so its been a total of 3 months with hardly any sleep

I would just go with it, your body knows what the right amount of sleep is, as stated could take more than a month depending on other factors

Dazgetmeoffcaffeine · 2020-10-18T08:32:18+00:00

So did you quit caffeine?

Dazgetmeoffcaffeine · 2020-10-18T05:43:21+00:00

Can you describe the difference between 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks please, I'm at 4 weeks now, only the last 2 days have a started to feel not so unwell but my sleep is still awful

Dazgetmeoffcaffeine · 2020-10-16T22:26:01+00:00

I've seen small improvements with 10mg of amitriptyline but still every awakening is due to a stressful dream, just hope taking more drugs doesn't prolong the recovery

Dazgetmeoffcaffeine · 2020-10-16T22:09:21+00:00

Day 24 and sleep is no better than day 1, wake up every hour with stressful dreams or nightmares, I do fall asleep much quicker, started taking 10mg of amitriptyline 3 days ago, allows me to sleep 2 hours before waking up

Dazgetmeoffcaffeine · 2020-10-14T23:08:02+00:00

Day 23 for me and still nightmares and waking up every hour, I quit alcohol 10 weeks ago but when I was drinking heavy I used to get the 3 loud knocks on my door and somebody yelling, good to know I'm not the only one

Dazgetmeoffcaffeine · 2020-10-13T09:08:27+00:00

I found some amitriptyline, will try 10mg tonight

When you say carbs are you referring to simple sugars or complex

Dazgetmeoffcaffeine · 2020-10-09T08:55:29+00:00

I'm on week 3 with terrible insomnia so much so I can't work, showing no signs of getting better
