Tapering down and my sweet coffee urge returned

Hi everyone, I’m new here and a little nervous. I’m in my first week of stepping down from my medication after about eight months.

I expected appetite shifts, but not for the old afternoon sweet-coffee habit to pop back so quickly. Yesterday I ordered a large caramel iced coffee without thinking, and Tuesday I did the same.

It’s not a big deal, but it surprised me. For those who have tapered off, did any small habit come back first?

I’m trying to notice it without panicking. Thanks for having me.
