Has anyone here quit caffeine after consuming it regularly for years? What was your experience, and was it worth it?

I’m considering doing this because I feel it is affecting my mood, energy, anxiety, and overall stability.

Not needing validation or anything, just curious to chat about it if anyone else has been through decaffeination

I've gone on and off caffeine quite a few times throughout the years. I felt physically better off caffeine, but found it hard to be functional enough without it.

How long were your “off” periods?

I've gone as long as an entire year without caffeine. I have seizures, so I quit caffeine when it causes me to have a seizure, usually end up back on it to be functional.
