Eight days off the stuff. And I pretty much feel like I've been hit by a Mack Truck that induces extreme sleepiness along with broken bones and internal haemmoraghing. I'm re-examining my reasons for not being 'on' to see how they compare.

I'm lost. Did I miss something? Are you ok?

All in all? Yes, I'm Okay. Trying to get off caffeine again. Usually it's a process of a few days. I'm going into my second week now and it's hard to tell whether it's better being clean or being hooked.

I've already given you my views on the subject. ;)

And I love you *because* you share those views, not in spite of that fact. (:

Ah, I remember that. I had a serious Red Bull obsession (comes from working midnight to 4, then 8 to noon for months on end). When I got a new job, I stopped cold turkey and just about DIED. I could barely get out of bed for close to three days, but it eventually got better.

I ended up accidentally off caffeine entirely a couple of weeks ago - but pneumonia will do that to you. I just slept, so was miserable but am not sure how much of that was caffeine related.

I wish you the best. Could these symptoms be of something else?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they could, but this is at least causally related, if not more.

I hope you find a balance that works, and that you feel better soon.

*hug* You are a better man than I (uh, figuratively speaking, what with the whole "Amanda is not a man" thing). I tried to give up caffeine and lasted less than one day.
