Drug sensitivity is always such a strange thing to me. It strikes me as having characteristics of qualia - to you, going cold turkey on caffeine was apparently monstrous, but I've had the exact opposite experiences. I drink a lot of coffee, 3 cups a day average, but if I stop for a day or three or a week I certainly don't feel any pain, just a different focus.

Try stopping for 4/5 days and see where you're at. I'd love to get a better sample size.

I stop for a full week every year. I drink 3-4 rather strong cups every day (no coffee after 4pm), but only 1 cup daily on weekends. Only symptom for me when I don't have caffeine is being a little harder to focus, but that's not a problem for me when I don't need to code.
