How can I quit caffeine without suffering too much side effects?

[deadendgame]

I take in 600 mg of caffeine per day and I have been doing this for two months now. I mainly use it because I feel like it makes me a little bit smart. A lot smarter actually. Like the abilities that I have are enhanced when I am on the caffeine. The downside is that I am easily angered, suffer heart palpitations, have trouble catching my breath and have trouble sleeping. Like what can I do about this? I want to get help but I been in the emergency room too many times. Sound irritates me. My mom is so fucking annoying I can't stand her. Like I think I'm gonna kill her if she doesn't shut up. She is annoying on a normal day. Can you imagine how fucking annoying she is when I am on this stuff? I was an amphetamine addict but to be honest, amphetamine is better because I sure as hell wouldn't have all these side effects as it wouldn't do this much damage to my body. The only upside of caffeine is that it is cheap and it has a low tolerance curve. Like 600 mg will always feel like 600 mg, unlike amphetamine. But in order to keep the good stuff more valuable, they have to make it illegal right? Assholes! If I try quitting, I know what is gonna happen. Withdrawal is not pretty

Taper, thankfully caffeine withdrawals arent terrible, but just lower your dose by 50mg every 2 days

I'm surprised you are having those effects from 600mg per day. I've done 600mg per day of caffeine regularly with zero side effects. My typical these days is 400mg per day, with random 600mg days when needed.

The other thing is, when I cut down, I rarely have any withdrawals to speak of. Sometimes fatigue and headache, but nothing more.

I don't think you'll have a problem cutting down.

nAChrs antagonists (DXM/MXE), TRPV1 antagonists (turmeric) and calcium channel bloker (ginger). 30mg DXM twice daily is enough. And you must consume some more sodum and potassum because DXM is an sodum channel bloker.

I started actively lowering my caffeine dose as it got to be extremely high, like 1000mg-1200mg a day kind of high. I also switched to pills to better understand my caffeine addiction and to systematically lower the dose. So far I can get to about 550-800mg a day and the standard dosing pattern is: 200-400mg in the morning, so thats like my coffee, followed by an energy drink 4 hours later (trying to cut this out too) and then 1 more pill sometimes around 3 or 4PM if i am going out after work.

I think the best way to do it is figure out where your dosing schedule is and remove it a little by a little. I know that it will be hard for me to remove the morning one as i have drank coffee in the morning for almost 10 years now, if i get to 1 pill a day i will be happy but for now i am happy with 550-800mg a day at most. I think its marked progress from where i use to be, especially before i didnt care and would literally drink espresso and energy drinks all day.
