Positive experiences
“Quit coffee - only green tea and MUDWTR in the morning. No more highs and lows and my brain fog seems to be going away.”
“Try also going off coffee - that really helped me more than I ever expected.”
“For the nicotine I found that drinking extra coffee during the day helped.”
“I have noticed that I respond better to a cup of black coffee as opposed to a 200 mg tablet of caffeine.”
“I've been doing this for almost a year now and the energy and clarity I've gained from it is one of those most powerful 'nootropic' feeling I've ever had.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“Many people report that quitting coffee improved or even cured their IBS, including me. I quit coffee about three years ago and I feel better without the caffeine rush.”
“So i quit coffee. First two days sucked. But now, everything is lighter, temporary and I am finding giggles in everyday items.”
“All that I know is that I feel like shit when I drink it. Beyond the short boost I only notice negatives.”
“I quit coffee and caffeine for 30 days and saw no benefit. Went back.”
“Coffee gives me severe anxiety, so I just don't drink it. Caffeine raises cortisol levels and interferes with circadian rhythm.”
“Quitting coffee did not improve my productivity, but it did improve my sleep quality and digestion a lot.”
