I tapered off of energy drinks at the beginning of the pandemic (I didn't want to be dependent on them, just in case). I simply drank 1 fluid ounce (about 28g by weight) less per day until it was 0. I'm sure I could have cut down faster, but I didn't need to and it was easy enough that way.
Speaking of Excedrin, I chatted with a doctor online once, and he said he knew of people who were addicted to Excedrin and it was dangerous (presumably because of the acetaminophen, which can kill you if overdone) and people should throw it away. I can see his point since that medicine combines an addictive drug (caffeine) with a dangerous one. Probably a fringe opinion, but thought that was interesting.
That is interesting, I've never heard of anyone becoming addicted to it. It is hands-down the most effective headache pill for me (even though I have been completely off caffeine for years now). I would hate it if they outlawed it; though reconstructing an equivalent would be pretty straightforward.
