@AzulCrescent ibuprofen takes the edge off, for me anyway

[luxliquida@critter.cafe]

@AzulCrescent Try tea, or something slightly less caffeinated

@AzulCrescent If you still want the flavor of coffee add some milk to it, that will also reduce your overall intake. And eventually flush the need of coffee by drinking tea.

@AzulCrescent@tech.lgbt The best thing about coffee addiction is that it only needs about a week to wear off. I regularly go without coffee to reset my body's tolerance to caffeine.

[bearmine@gamepad.club]

@AzulCrescent yep, that's absolutely caffeine addiction. The withdrawal headaches can be brutal, but after a few days to a week they should go away (based on my experience).

@AzulCrescent I mean, it’s like a day to get over it.

@AzulCrescent a coffee break can also be shared with another drink, like a mint tea or a glass of water. You don't need to all drink the same thing

[da_kink@defcon.social]

@plantagolabs @AzulCrescent I really thought this would be the normal reaction

@da_kink @AzulCrescent I am a bit concerned by the number of "it is only a week, no big deal" comments. Those are unhelpful at best.

@AzulCrescent it is withdrawal, but good news is it only takes a few days to go away if you stop drinking it

[tourma@tech.lgbt]

@AzulCrescent
The good news is, if you stay off it for a while, your body gets used to the lack of caffeine again. I was drinking Pepsi Max (diet + extra caffeine,) for a medical thing, but when I cut back I was the same way for a couple of weeks.
