GnomerParticipantFor those who take a break from caffeine every now and then what do you like to take instead?I find when i stop taking caffeine i get the headaches and lethargy so curious what people have tried who have had the same issues. I tried ginseng, ginkgo, ashwagandha, and Rhodiola Rosea.. none seem to help much at all even at higher doses

Trevor G FullbrightModeratorDecaf and green tea, so I don't totally drop caffeine (small amounts from tea)Sadly, if you get that reaction, there isn't much you can do to ride it out. I can drop it for months on end and never have a single withdrawal side effect, but I can also mega dose it and feel nothing.

I get withdrawal effects when I stop caffeine 100%. So, if I decide to stop taking in caffeine for a specific time-frame, I just ease off, it slowing lowering the doses over a week or two.Or, you just have to power through the headaches. 😉

lol yea i could probably do that.. well see.. seems many here have had decent time using small dose nicotine.. maybe i could just cycle it month or two on then switch to caffeine for a couple months and just cycle them like that

Nicotine is amazing for that, it's one of my favorite nootropics.
