Yeah, I think I'll try that. The tea seems to cover the withdrawal without making me have panic attacks later in the day.
You know, it's a strange thing, but when I'm stressed, my reaction is to grab caffeine. This is the weirdest type of self-medication, I think, because the caffeine obviously doesn't help with the anxiety. I hope I can eventually get off of it.
Also, they sell these little mints at the grocery store where I live called Penguins. They are caffeinated mints. They are pretty mild (nowhere near no-doz or anything like that). Maybe when the headaches get bad, I could eat one of those...probably even less caffeine than a cup of tea.
