I was on oxycodone for about 6 weeks for a growth inside my knee. After it was removed, I had to wean off the drugs. Wasn't too bad, took less than a week.
Soon after I thought I'd try to kick the caffeine habit. Went from 4 cups, to 1 over a month, then just green tea, then just water. I only lasted about 6 weeks on water only.
My god. I couldn't believe how unmotivated, soulless, and empty I felt. Judging by the reddit sub for kicking caffeine, this can last for over a year. It's terrifying
When I stopped coffee it was 3 days of being tired and that was it. Which, from what I read, was to be expected normal.
Wow. Can I ask how much you usually drank per day on average?
3 cups every day, sometimes more. A cup was a tee cup size (not a small coffee one) and I made it strong.
I drink about 3 cups of tea a day and no caffeine on the weekends. The reason I don’t have it on the weekends is because it’s not part of my weekend morning routine and I don’t even notice it’s missing.
Imagine how hard it would be to kick oxy if you were taking it every day for 20 years. Habits and addictions get ingrained with time.
