That seems odd to me - I would have expected an adaptation back to not needing caffeine. Certainly on the 3 month timescale. I have spent large amounts of my life without caffeine and it only takes me max 2 weeks to adapt / deadapt each time. I wonder what is going on with you that is different?

I have a chronic physical illness that causes severe physical and mental exhaustion, so my

baseline is being mostly bedbound and needing a power wheelchair to leave the house.

So caffeine lets me spend energy I don't have, and then crash for days/weeks afterwards.

Oh. Well yes. That really does explain it.
