What'd you end up doing for the constipation? Always been pretty regular myself but now really struggling. Only two weeks into 2.5mg so worried it's only going to get worse from here.

The differential response between coffee and Coke Zero while maintaining one and dropping the other is interesting from a behavioral standpoint - the ritual and context matter as much as the caffeine content for these patterns. Coffee tends to pair with appetite and morning hunger cues that...
