I usually quit caffeine for a month 3 or 4 times a year. Cold turkey gives me bad headaches for a few days, but I’ve been tapering over 4 days with almost no withdrawal.
The main reason I have to take a break is eventually it starts giving me muscle spasms. Combined with a little stress or being low on sleep, and my muscles will sometimes twitch nonstop. The worst is when it gets to my eyelids. Green tea, however, makes eye twitching worse than coffee does.
> It took 10 years to get to this level of caffeine dependence. Spending one year to unwind this addiction is relatively fast!
I don’t believe that’s how caffeine actually works. Dependence builds in a matter of days, and withdrawal symptoms dissipate in a matter of days.
Best ones are magnesium citrate and magnesium chelate. Supplement about 3x suggested dose for a week, then maintain 1x dose. Best time is during or after meals. Taking lots of magnesium without any food will work as a laxative.
