Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the chronic addiction of long term energy drink conusmption do require specific attention and care to practise and have rid off it.

Guidelines at present

- make a mind set that you want to get rid off it anyhow

- gradually reduce the consumption of energy drink to 50 ml less quantity every week as sudden withdrawal is associated with cramps and other problems
- add substitute harmless liquids as fresh lemon juice, coconut water, rice water, barley juice, butter milk against that.

- if required can take advise of an expert specialist in this regard as well for smooth recovery and hassle free outcome.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
