    I remember several years ago I suffered from severe depression and mental disorder. I was addicted to illicit pills, alcohol, and smoking until I was recommended for psilocybin mushroom treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly I'm 8 years clean now. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against anxiety and depression.

      howcanyoudothistome1 At the end of the day coffee is a drug. A stimulant drug at that. It's gonna heighten your senses/nervous system and can even cause insomnia which is again effecting your brain seeing as you can't function without sleep. You'll crave it because most drugs if not all release dopamine that make your body believe it is a reward and therefore you want it more especially when you're down because "it makes you feel good". Suppressed adenosine means natural stimulants like dopamine are more effective and that causes more adrenaline to be released. If you have bad anxiety try to cut down your cups per day or try drinking tea or green tea (both contain caffeine but black tea contains less than half the amount than coffee ). Just remember you don't NEED coffee, your body isn't made to function with it, you've just altered the hormones and stuff in the brain so that the body acts like it needs it

      You’re obviously lying. Anyone who’s been around meth addicts going through withdrawal knows that they WILL get violent and go completely out of control when they don’t have any meth in their system. They won’t just be bitching and moaning about being tired and how badly they want a cup of coffee. However, I can compare his withdrawal symptoms to what I went through when I quit smoking. But trust me when I say this, quitting coffee is nowhere near comparable to quitting crystal meth

      Yes, makes me tired, lazy and unproductive. I used to come home after work and take long naps and sit on the couch till bed time. Now that i quit i have motivation and energy all day.

      You might have ADD or ADHD. Caffeine has the opposite effect on those people then it would to people without.

    If you would like a non-caffeinated alternative that wakes you up, I recommend steeped Japanese green tea (not the bottled, premade type nor matcha). I am caffeine intolerant, so caffeine doesn't work for me at all (just makes me sick and sleepy), but steeped green tea works!
    *I recommend one called YamaMotoYama that is available on Amazon

    I can totally relate. Although I only drink coffee in the morning and only one cup ... it is a big cup with like more than half a liter of coffee. When the coffee machine broke one day, I had no coffee and my emergency instant coffee (yes, I have that!) was already rotten, so no coffee for me. The withdrawal symptoms started 2 hours later and the rest of the day I was a zombie.

      InAliensWeTrust decaf has a small amount of caffeine

      InAliensWeTrust doesn’t work that way. Caffeine addiction is a chemical change in your body where your brain relies on caffeine to function. You can not “will” yourself out of caffeine withdrawals

    My coffee addiction started during my last year of high school, it actually started as a need, cause of the bunch of stuff I had to study for, then everything just changed and became a passion, it's kind of difficult to explain, maybe the taste and the way it makes you feel but I just know that now its role is huge in my everyday routine, i cant start the day without a cup of coffee, and here in italy it is amazing. What a rough!

      coffee has opposite reactions for some people! my husband is the same way, coffee makes him really sleepy so he can't drink it in the morning but it's a good drink before bed for him.
