Question by gfxapprentice: Acute caffeine addiction.?
Every day I’m taking 0.7 – 1 g of caffeine. I’ve been doing this for many years and started to have pretty serious physical and mental problems (anxiety disorder) because of this. I went to doctors but all they say is stop drinking coffee and start drinking water. But I can’t. I’ve been trying to give up caffee for many months and every time I try I fail and start to drink even more coffee. For many years mostly I’ve been drinking only coffee, sometimes a glass of water or juice a day. Everybody is talking about headaches and no energy when giving up caffeine – it’s nothing, I whish I only had that. My biggest problem is depressed and disturbed emotions and feelings I get when I’m trying to give up coffee. Last time I went out outside of the building where I work and couldn’t decided whether to go back or go somewhere. I didn’t know what to do. I felt that I could lose control. It was very disturbing so I drank 3 coffees right away. And every time is like this. I can help myself and I need do stop drinking caffee because of my physical problems and anxiety (anxiety disorder). I can’t just drink less coffee. When I start I can’t stop. I just can’t and I’ve tried fro many months. I went to a doc and told him about this but he belittled this and said I should start drinking green tea. I tried everything but I can’t. I seriously addicted. You don’t have idea how I terribly feel when I haven’t been drinking coffee for some time. I can’t stand it. I talked recently to womam working in a pharmacy and she told me there are medications to hehlp people like me, but she didn’t know the name and redneck doctors where I live just don’t care. Does anybody is or has been in the same situation. How can I help myself? I’ve tried those teas, decaf coffees, grain coffees and all that shit, so don’t even bother yourself to post about this. Does any body can give me some proffessional advice? Or know about similar cases. I just don’t know what to do anymore.
Sorry for all those errors, I wrote it on a laptop and still I’m not used to typing on its keyboard.
