Wow---suicidal from caffeine withdrawal??? In all my years as a therapist, I've never heard that one before. If something as minimal as caffeine withdrawl sends you over the edge, probably want to avoid anything like energy drinks, eh?

Here again, I'd say this is a serious mental health issue. So, find a good therapist to help you deal with what must be horrible self esteem issues---THEN worry about stopping caffeine. It's not going to hurt you in the meantime. If it was heroin or something, then I'd recommend you check yourself into rehab---but not caffeine.

Millions of folks drink caffeine and stop all the time. It kinda sucks cause you get a headache. I've had that very experience as I worked at Starbucks for a while in route to my double masters degree in systems counseling, where the coffee was free to employees---as much as wanted. So I drank more than I should have for a number of years.

When I realized caffeine made my tendinitis flare up (the worst thing I've heard about caffeine doing actually), I cut back to one shot a day. It was enough to produce those withdrawal effects. I just hunkered down and went thru it, knowing it'd last a couple of days.

But one or two cups a day isn't enough to produce that level of physical addiction. I can easily go without caffeine and have no effects at all, although I still drink a one shot latte a day, some days two even.

I drank it all the way thru any deparasiting I've done (I never read anything about needing to stop coffee) and stopped the actual day of my liver flushes. I didn't drink it thru The Master Cleanser Lemonade Diet either, the only 19 days I haven't other than a day here and there.

And I'm fine really. I expect you will be too. Get to a mental health professional though, as soon as possible. This would be some sort of coping ritual involving coffee or tea production most likely. Coffee would only block sadness if it was by some sort of placebo effect, so no--the coffee itself hasn't really helped with that.

But of course, this may not sound sympathetic enough for the mod and other folk, so it may be just the proof they want to ban me or some such, eh? I'm well aware of what they want me to say.
