Caffeine is like a purchase on a adrenaline system credit card, and your body's system is probably in huge debt - might take a while to regain composure.

I remember reading that it usually only takes a few days (like, one or two) of no caffeine in order to reset your body's tolerance to this. Not sure if it's accurate or not, but it sounds plausible to me.

  I recently quit, and my caffeine intake was at most moderate, but it took me 6-7 days to feel totally normal.

  I remember reading it takes 10-15 days, but yeah it's relatively fast to reset your body's tolerance to caffeine.

  In general, it can take between 7 and 14 days to fully recover. Source: http://mentalhealthdaily.com/2014/03/25/caffeine-withdrawal-symptoms-how-long-do-they-last-average-timeline-varies/ http://mentalhealthdaily.com/2014/03/25/caffeine-withdrawal-...

  In my case it takes a couple of weeks. I've had to go cold turkey once in my 20s and since then i keep an eye on my intake. In some cases (crunch time, onsite, etc) I binge and then it takes a while to readjust, but never less than 3-4 days. I'm slightly obese as well so that doesn't help either, but I've noticed that the solution when I feel slow is usually "more and more water".

  Having quit 7 days ago, I can tell you that the worst of the symptoms (headaches, aching body, etc.) mostly passed within the first 3-4 days. But the lack of energy is real and persistent. My body and routine are both recovering.

Caffeine on net suppresses stress systems and improves many cellular level functions. Reams of epidemiological data strongly indicate the equivalent of four or five cups of coffee a day is good for you. If caffeine makes you jittery or causes other signs of increased adrenaline that means you are probably in poor health. Note that it's best to take it with food or a bit of sugar and taking it while hungry or low on glycogen can cause a bit of stress. Coffee is nothing but calming for me and I have zero withdrawal symptoms if I go a day or two without it.
