Off Caffeine - It's worth it

I've been off caffeine since early December. I decided to quit after having my teeth whitened. You can expect headaches, intense urges for sodas/coffee/chocolate and bad moods.

I used Excedrin Migraine for the first week to get rid of the headaches since it has caffeine and then switched to Ibuprofen for the remainder of the withdrawl.

Now that I am off caffeine I seep better and have more energy throughout the day. I do miss the taste of chocolate and coffee but I don't miss the addiction!

I've also been monitoring my RHR and max HR during rest and exercise. You would be amazed how much your heart rate drops after you're off caffeine. My RHR is in the low 50s now which is supposed to be "excellent."

Hang in there.
