there's been a lot of positive benefits for me so far:
- stopped getting mood swings
- lower anxiety
- peaceful / less agitated
- feel less stressed
- mind is clearer
- much stabler energy levels
- dont wake up as tired
- feel more positive overall
downsides:
- no instant motivation
- no easy morning reboot
- no pickup if you feel sleepy
- may have long adjustment period (can take a while for sleep and motivation to normalise. anecdotally a lot of people say it can take months.)
i think i really had a drug addiction to this stuff and had to hit the point where i had nothing more to lose to try giving it up. i still really want to drink coffee but im over it. it makes every day a roller coaster of highs and lows.
