Not sure if you're serious, but that sounds pretty extreme.

In my experience after a week or two off caffeine my energy levels actually improve & are more sustainable (although everyone's metabolism is different; reason why we all need to experiment for ourselves).

Did you try changing/hacking your diet and sleep cycles in the same process? I've found sugar problematic if I'm not on caffeine.



Yeah I am serious - I tried a number of things but at least my state is not so extreme anymore. I have quit soda and energy drinks, and only drink 3 shots of espresso (maximum) per day, which is under 300 mg typically (within the "acceptable" range for caffeine intake). I try to minimize my sugar as well and do not put any in my espresso, just milk.
