I don't get withdrawal symptoms either, but I know people who do. I have one mug of coffee in the morning and that's all I can drink. Anymore than that, just a couple sips more, and I get the jitters from it and I don't like that at all.

After that one mug of coffee I take a couple Emergen-C vitamin packets and those instantly mellow out the coffee rush and I feel pretty good and ready to go.

Thinking about it, the Emergen-C vitamin packets might be something to consider bringing for your UL overnighters. I bring those on all my trips.


That's remarkable. I wasn't aware that was possible for a daily consumer of caffeine. Obviously it depends on the person and their intake, but before this thead I had never heard of any daily consumer of caffeine who did not experience withdrawal symptoms when giving it up.
