A previous post recommending cutting out caffeine is right on. Add nicotine to that - another popular alkaloid.
Every time I've been in the hospital (psych ward) most of the patients were nicotine and caffeine addicts. In the morning, instead of birds singing, we would hear all the smokers hacking and coughing away. Then we would all find the nearest caffeine source to counteract the meds.
Documentaries on one mental illness after another show the afflicted with a cigarette in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. They're taking a dozen different meds and I'm wondering what would happen if they gave up the 2 in their hand.
still hooked on caffeine and trying to quit.
