Please, how long does the lack of motivation and anhedonia last? I have been trying to quit during a particularly stressful time in my life, works great for anxiety, but after 5 days I couldn’t spare to stare at the wall any longer instead of being a productive member of society.
replyThis week I am drinking only one cup of tea in the morning and I’m still not very productive, but I would like to quit caffeine for good.
(FWIW I used to only drink a double espresso in the morning and no more, but I am a very sensitive, and anxious, person)
It took me about two weeks for it to completely get out of my system. I quit cold turkey, and I had body pains and trouble focusing for the first week.
replyYou want to just drink it again, but if you push through, it starts getting better, until you don't feel the need to drink it again.
