"strong coffee" — @WolfHi Wolf...you might want to try cutting out coffee. Caffeine is very activating and is not recommended during withdrawal. You may need to slowly taper off so it doesn't shock your system. It's just a suggestion, of course. Even decaf coffee still contains some caffeine and stimulants.

"i‘m also still drinking coffee when i‘m too off." — @SteveIt's confession time lol! Yeah, it's something that's not recommended, but everyone is different in what they can handle. I personally can't handle caffeine at all.
