<< Previous Topic | Next Topic >> Return to Index   no caffine!!! May 17 2004 at 11:14 PM No score for this post   (Login pmddfree)   Hi everyone, I wanted to give you an update. I am now a little over a month without caffine. It keeps getting better. now remember i loved cokes. It took everything i had in myself not to drink 12 cans a day.I always thought no way am i giving up my cokes. how am i going to stay awake i am already so tired. the weriod thing is i am not tired anymore. I have so much more energy. I feel fantastic!! I was told i had pmdd when i was 19. i am now 33. I was put on a low dose birth control witch worked great until i started having kids. now i don't think it is to healthy to stay on birth control past my age. I found this website and i realized that i have to change my diet. I was doing great as far as losing weight with weight watchers. but i was still drinking alot of coks. finally i said that is it i am done. with prayer of corse i quit the caffine. i can't believe i did it. but i did. I am writing all of you because i want you to know how caffine effects your body/mind. My thinking is so much more clear. i want to share with everyone that i was symtom free this month. and i am down to the lowest dose of zoloft. i will be getting off of zoloft in about 2 more weeks. so no more ugly side effects. always talk to your doctor before you decide to quit any kind of anti - depressant. If i can help at least one person than i will be happy. just give it 1 month. you will be amazed. I want to thank God for this website which i believe he lead me to. Tammy   Scoring disabled.

I too am a caffeine junkie, "needing" everything caffeine from tea, coffee, colas, and chocolate. I am more worried about quitting the tea...what will drink at a restaurant? water? with sweet n low and lemon? It makes me sad to think that, but i know that i will have to do this. This problem with my cycles is such that it has seriously affected every part of my life. The bottom line is, if you hadn't reported how good you feel, and the actual paradox of being more alert though you quit caffeine, I would still be stocking up my extra refrigerator with Dr.Pepper and Nestea. This is my first hour of cleansing....wish me luck.   Scoring disabled. You must be logged in to score posts.
