Yeah, my husband is caffeine addicted, too. He's now been drinking green tea (which has caffeine but not as much as coffee) after his one morning cup of coffee. He gets spacy without caffeine. It is really addictive and it overstimulates your body (it can exhaust your adrenal glands).

I just turned 42 and have always had a ton of energy. So, I too feel like I just want to get to feeling great and normal. But, sometimes I think my body is just tired from always going and I didn't take good enough care of myself - and I just burned out.
I take fish oil supplements (the type they test to make sure it doesn't have chemicals) with my vitamins. Also, Holy Basil, which is an ayurvedic supplement. These help uplift you. At night, Passion Flower capsules relax me. I used to use melatonin but it gave me a headache.
I am working to avoid returning to the regular medications as they seemed too strong for my system. But, if I need to return to them, I always figure they're out there.
Thinking happy thoughts works wonders, too. It kind of creates a better thought cycle in your head.
