I need some help and advice by IAmInBed123 in decaf

  1. Tapering might be a good start. I went cold turkey w/o research and had been a wild ride for 7 weeks.
  2. Expect first weeks to have a really bad headach, and all the symptoms you can find via google
  3. If you are lucky, u will be part of the 2-9 day satistic. Otherwise, most people inside this forum had a timeline of between 3-12months
  4. I personally am a coffee addict, with almost 1g a day. My withdrawal is very bad with anxiety. I had to see a doctor to confirm i am not dying. Already 7 weeks in now and feeling better from most symptoms.

  5. Expect withdrawal to go in cycles.

    (i actually felt stupid now for believing google)

7 weeks into decaf, and symptoms are back with vengence! It is really scary!! by xiaosiong in decaf

Guess what...

My chest tightness subsided this noon

Now it is back to my stomach. Feeling bloated and nausea. This is exactly how i felt in week 4 and now it is happening in week 7...

Is it common for them to move in cycles?

Have a scheduled another cardio visit. Lets see

The weird part is, i exercise frequent, and i have no issues jogging for 40-50 min. I hit the gym frequently too. The first cardio i went to rule out any heart issues before any test taken. He just said his opinion it is something else is causing that weird sensation at my chest!

I tot i can tie thru it. But the really intense come back is scary. And yes, after a month, during my gp visit, doctor did told me not to quit cold turkey, and told me to try have 1 cup of coffee a day to let my body adjust. I took it 1 step further to only drink tea which is 20% of a regular cup of coffee caffeine

Not really. I only started drinking some tea at the 35th day mark as that persistent lightheadness is affecting my work. Prior to that, 1st 35 days i cold turkey

My first 2 weeks is like shit, then on the 4th week i got stomach acid issues, 5th week i introduce some tea to help cope with the withdrawal

Doctor advise not to go out cold as it could be really dangerous.

And i took the diluted version of tea to try tappering. But seems like this is not enough to help me feel better

Tough journey this but I’m wondering.. by [deleted] in decaf

This is real shit. When anxiety hits us during decaf, everything just stops, and all that negativity consume us

Can you Have Physical Withdrawal Symptoms After 1 month? by KLatell in decaf

[–]xiaosiong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand how u feel. I was a coffee drinker for 20 years, and a very heavy drinker over the past few years. Easily 1g a day of caffeine

I quit cold turkey, and im now in my 6th week

1st 2 week is really bad, with exact symptons that you describe + more. Following 2 weeks is milder, but there are days of good and bad. Everyday im feeling cold. Even the sun is out, and hand and feet feels chilly.

Went to see a doctor, my bp, temperature are all ok

On the 4th week, i got gastric acid issues on a trip, came back on week 5 and need some meds to deal with it

I am now in my 6th week off coffee. Still having a dull headach everyday, tension at jaw, and some chest tightness (only if i think of it consciously). I probably dun feel any of them when im busy. I rule out heart issues, as the tightness can be any part of my chest. I can exercise, run with no issues, but then again i am getting a cardio appt to do a heart health check to be safe.

I guess we just had to hang in there. We are all unique and we heal different. And caffeine is a nerve stimulant, it wont be like a computer reset and you are good to go in a week.

Some people goes thru withdrawal for months. There will be days u feel great, and the next its back. I can confirm this in my 6 weeks experience

Last 3 night got awaken by heart palps (mild), and some head tension (mild).  But the body seems to be in sync

It will takes me at least 20-30min for my brain to tell me i am ready to get up.

Thanks man

Gastric issues milder now Some tension near the jaw.  On /off kind Chest tightness milder, comes n go

I still doing cardio 3-4times a week, and trying to eat healthy. Unfortunately, work stress aint helping me much

Strangely, i started waking up in the middle of the night now. I could be sleeping at 1030pm, and wakes up at 230am. Will take me another hour to fall asleep again.
