Interested. How did you go about quitting caffeine? I barely ever drink, don’t really do drugs but I drink ungodly amounts of coffee. My doctor very sternly advised that it’s bound to become an issue at some point. I don’t have trouble sleeping (usually make a last cup just before bed) or any jitters, but if I don’t drink coffee for just one day I get a debilitating headache around noon with intense fatigue and I’m basically useless the rest of the day...

+1 @ M4 recommendation of mate.

When trying to reduce my coffee intake a few years back, I swapped to drinking Yerba mate from 12 noon onward and found that my stomach thanked me.

YMMV of course!

These are all the things that help my anxiety

Interesting. I gave up caffeine and it has helped a lot. Alcohol I only drink on the weekends but maybe cutting that out too will help. Don’t do drugs so that’s already cut!
