Coffee withdrawals

Aug 11, 2005 12:40

So, seeing as got sick with a stomach bug, I figured it was a good idea to stay of the coffee. It's now been 4 days since that delicious nectar of caffeine known as coffee last caressed it's way down my throat.

Wow are the withdrawal symptoms getting intense. I feel incredibly scattered and disorientated, and it's very hard to concentrate or think straight at all. Like my brain is wrapped in wet cotton wool and feeling very similar to one's sense of hearing after being at a loud concert or club all night.

Considering my general consumption these days I expected much worse withdrawals. I've been averaging 10-20 shots of coffee per day for a few months now, which is the equivelent of 5-10 strong, large coffees (or 1.8 - 4 grams of caffeine, e.g. 1/4 the lethal dose of 16g).

Only another 3 days to go and it should be over!
