Any basic budget advice says to cut starbucks out of your life and make your $5 latte at home, but why stop there? Caffeine pills work out to $0.05/cup-equivalent, aren't going to make you take bathroom trips, aren't going to give you bad breath, and aren't going to stain your teeth. I usually keep a few in my pocket in case I get randomly drowsy in a meeting or if I'm driving far. I haven't looked back, and I used t…

Caffeine pills also release the caffeine in a different way. I too was a student and I too tried to min/max. I found that caffeine via coffee hit me harder and wore off quicker.

Maybe the coatings in your particular pill were different. I found gelatin capsules kicked in slower than pressed tablets that began to dissolve when they hit my saliva, but still lasted about the same. My tolerance to caffeine has always been high, though.

How do they not make you take bathroom trips? Caffeine is a diuretic.

The headaches are pretty bad.
I used a product called Wean Caffeine to successfully avoid the headaches. It steps you down by 10mg every three days. For anyone wanting to quit, I highly recommend. https://www.weancaffeine.com/
Such an awesome idea though.
I'm so glad I'm not dependent.

On my desktop, approx. 1/5th of the screen is taken up by a giant top banner for American Scientist, and two paragraphs don't fit on the page. Why do people design websites like this?

It's pretty easy to break through the physiological symptoms of caffeine withdrawal, but more difficult to stick to not drinking it, I find.
