I am in the midst of caffeine dependence, and have been for years. I don't feel bad the next day though, I just need my morning coffee to feel functional. And an afternoon coffee. I am slowly reducing the caffeine by switching out the afternoon coffee with two cups, and now one cup of tea. Even that is not easy. When I tried to quit cold turkey, I lasted about a week, and the depression part of the withdrawal symptoms were just too much for me. I felt terrible every day, and it didn't seem to be easing up when I gave up after a week.
