It takes a couple of days to get used to.
Stop drinking caffeine while taking the meds.
But I am worried about caffeine withdrawnls and if that miss with the medication. Maybe I should have sorted my addiction first before starting meds?
I was gonna wait regardless thought and haven't had coffee for 3 days now.
No need to worry. The meds will alleviate your need for caffeine.
It take a little time to figure out what works for you.
After two weeks things are starting to balance out.
Find some other warm tasty drink to replace your coffee.
Good luck.
