Yeah. I noticed that once I started to drink coffee I would have a harder time waking up without it. I decided to stop afterwards took about a week to get past it.

I tried, managed to go nearly 2 months. The headaches were annoying but they eased off. It was the lack of an alternative quick pick me up that made me start on caffeine again. I tried B complex drops but they only worked part of the time. Might work better for you. I still avoid caffeine outside of tea and coffee when I need to maintain a certain level of energy for a period of time.

It's a sublingual liquid, it goes under your tongue, you hold it there 30 seconds, then you can swallow it. It was highly recommended by the nurses at my doctors office because it is faster acting that way. It did work, but it was kind of hit or miss at times I needed to finish a 16 hour shift so I went back to coffee and tea.

I did, cold turkey, when I was pregnant. That's a special kind of hell. Cigarettes were easier to kick than caffeine; I had migraines for weeks and I hardly slept and I was a total bitch to everyone. Here's to hoping I never get knocked up again

Many times most times I get to the point where my head wanted to explode. I've come to terms that I can but first I'm working on eating better which I am and getting in shape still in progress. Then it's out with black coffee and cigarettes which I use in moderation 2 8 oz cup in morning sometimes with coconut oil and 4-6 cigarettes a day been working on it just they are way harder to get rid of

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?

watch how much you consume. if you cant do that then your quitting plan needs to be about abstaining from coffee.
