Caffeine wears off quickly, and seems to be good for you. I go off cold turkey once in a while, and the worst I've ever gotten is a week of mild headaches.
Whether caffeine is good for you or not seems to be largely inconclusive, similarly to the question of whether caffeine is bad for you.
Only a matter of time before we are expected to take drugs to be better at our jobs.

When you got off Ritalin, did you find yourself more emotional and “feeling” more pain? I think the fear of this keeps most people on Ritalin/Adderall/Concerta/Vyvanse, etc.
I can't comment on the OPs experience but I was on adderall for a few years of my childhood until my parents took me off of it because I was too angry and violent as they said. I got back on it a few years back after realizing that normal people didn't seem to struggle with problems I just took to be my own lack of willpower.

> The idea of performance enhancing drugs making their way into the workplace arena scares me a lot. You say that as if it hasn't already happened, Adderall has been ubiquitous for years. At my last office job we had an intern from out of state miss work abruptly because she couldn't get her Adderall prescription filled, and, I shit you not, skipped work to fly to Nevada to fill her out of state 'script because CA ph…

Really? Do you have any basis for saying this? For many people, going without meds is like going without glasses--you may be able to walk around without your glasses, but you're not functioning the way you want to.

Whenever threads mention caffeine I am compelled to share that caffeine has no effect whatsoever on me. To my sadness, it feels like I'm excluded from a common universal community and performance advantage
