I start getting headaches after 2-3 cups, then when I get home I can't even sleep anymore. Hmm, and when I don't drink coffee I just feel extra sluggish, even after 7-8 hours of sleep. It's like going through coffee withdrawal, even though I know I'll feel much better after a week completely sans coffee.

It was hard. I got a lot of headaches initially and would be dragging throughout the day without my caffeine pick me up. But after about a week the headaches went away and my natural energy levels kicked up. And I have to tell you, it feels great! I love not being bound to my morning coffee.

Treat the withdrawals like flu or cold. Give yourself extra time to sleep. You're hopped on caffeine and sugar for so long that your body need to re-adjust and remember what it's like to wake up naturally. These withdrawals will pass, just be patient with yourself.

I am having trouble trying to quit drinking soda. I gave up meat cold turkey and did fine but soda, can't do it. I am down to one 8oz can of soda per day but I do get withdrawal headaches.

WOW that is a lot! I know my body can't handle that much...I have cut back a lot to get my migraines under control. Thankfully there are a lot of good caffeine-free drink options out there...from tea to flavored water, or even carbonated beverages like Tava. “Medical experts advise us to drink no more than six cups of tea or coffee a day.” WOW that is a lot!
