I was hooked on diet coke until one day I decided to take a break, and my tongue felt... weird. It felt slightly fizzy as if my brain was signaling that it was time to drink diet coke. On top of that, I felt lazy for a couple days.

I'm glad I was that self aware because I stopped drinking it everyday. Maybe 1 or two a month.

I attempted this just recently, I went 12+hrs without caffeine intake and I had the worst, headache that wouldn't go away with regular pills. Basically very intense caffeine withdrawal.

That lasts for up to a week and then you are through. You should find a quiet week and suffer through once just to prove to yourself you can and to decide whether to consume agaib clean

Or just taper. It is quite simple with caffeine for most people. Takes a few weeks. Just reduce consumption by 10-15% every 2-3 days. Symptoms should be much more manageable. I am at 2-3 cups of coffee per day. Maybe a diet red bull. If I stop outright I rarely even notice other than feeling a little slow that day. I am fine with that.

I drink 1 24 oz cup a day and if i miss it by 2pm i have a rager of a headache. Funnyhow different amount hit different folks differently

probably because of the caffeine?

I only really had one a day around 3pm. It’s got like what, 50mg of caffeine? Not much.

Not even the morning/noon tea would pick me up. It was a different kind of lethargy that’s hard to explain and it went along with this uncomfortable sensation on my tongue.
