A member asked:

How should i cut back on drink coffee (caffeine consumption). i feel like i can't function without my coffee. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gradually: Any changes to a habit should be made gradually. You can cut back by one cup every one or two weeks and compensate for the reduced caffeine with exercise, increased lighting, etc. http://www.wikihow.com/Quit-Caffeine
