Caffeine stopped working for me

Can I gently push back on one thing? Not the substance, just the framing — you have written twice that you should be coping better. Who told you that?

My pharmacist was more use than anyone. Ten minutes at the counter, no appointment, no charge.

I keep a two-line diary and it is the only reason I could answer this question about myself. Worth starting even now.

Different experience here, for balance. Mine did not improve and in the end I stopped, and that was the right call for me. Both outcomes exist.

The phrase that unlocked my appointment was asking what specifically she wanted me to watch for. It moved us from reassurance to a plan in about thirty seconds.

I would take that to a clinician rather than to us, and I would do it this week. Not because it is definitely serious — because it is the sort of thing that is much easier to rule out than to worry about.

Practical, boring answer: write the three questions down before you go in. I have never once remembered them otherwise.

I am about four months behind you and I have been dreading exactly this, so thank you for writing it down before I got there.

It got worse before it got better for me, which I wish someone had said. About ten days of worse.

For what it is worth, the trial data on this is thinner than the confidence of the internet would suggest. Worth knowing when you read the posts.

Have you got anyone who can be with you when you do it? It made an enormous difference to me and I felt silly asking.
