I had a 12-pack of diet mt. dew every day on top of energy drinks, and coffee. When I tried to quit, it took weeks of night sweats, sudden shivers, nausea, et al. to get back to normal.

In retrospect, I should have weaned myself off over a period of a few weeks.

Yeah. Dropped Sodas and really now only have the occasional soda. Tea which I drink a lot of has caffeine but it's a lot less.

I just wanted to say if you quit, make sure to drink tons of water. It'll help stave off/reduce the amount of headaches.

I quit coffee once. Lots of headaches until I read about drinking the water. I lasted a few months until I returned to the bean.

If you switch to decaf coffee, you probably won't get headaches as it has some caffeine (at least I didn't).

Did for a while, no problems. Decided it was the right thing to do, so I did it.

Then my work/sleep schedule changed, and I once again welcome the morning cup of coffee to get me and my bowels moving in a timely fashion.

Regarding coffee, decaf is almost always available. Regarding energy drinks, you're really limited to "monster unleaded" if you want the same thing without the caffeine, though at that point you can just get a big old B vitamin supplement and take that instead.

Why Do you want to stop consuming caffeine?
