Two days is not enough. Try being off it for a week. I bet you will feel terible on day 4.

Everyone is different. I still remember this doctor who wrote his horror story about quitting caffeine. (Looking back--I think the Dr. slept through Placebo, actually psychosomatic class.) For myself, I just noticed a slight headache around day two. So far I've kicked alcohol, tobacco, opioids, but still have a benzo addiction to kick. (I sometimes feel those of us living in modern societies have been conditioned into believing quitting is much more difficult than it actually is? My best friend thought because he didn't have a lot of self-control, stopping smoking would be the last thing he could do. Well he stopped, and told me those commercials equating it to quitting opioids were wrong, and he wished he quit 20 years ago.)

I drink 3 cups of coffee every day. Often when traveling I'll have occasional periods of 3-5 days without any coffee whatsoever. Don't feel any different.

When I give up I get bad headaches for 2 days then it gets easier after that. Been off for a few months now.

I drink a cup of coffee every day. If I go a day without it, then I'll get a minor headache around 4pm and then the next day I'll be fine. It heavily depends on the person.

Not really. I drink coffee off and on throughout the day, too - but to be fair, I'm making each cup fresh and rarely drink two cups in a row. Folks react really differently to caffeine. I've never been able to use it to fight against sleepyness, for example. I'm fine drinking it before bed, though I try to give 30 minutes afterwards just so I can pee. I miss drinking coffee if I quit, and tea is hardly a replacement if you are skipping caffeine. (My other beverage is water, and I don't vary often). My father, on the other hand, needed to stop caffeine after lunchtime to sleep well at night. My mother develops headaches, which might not be a problem if it weren't for migraines and cluster headaches. Oddly enough, sometimes the caffeine helps that bit. Other folks get grouchy if they quit suddenly. A few get hungry, and some folks just feel generally bad.
