Just stop drinking the stuff then... You'll have a wicked headache the first week, but after that you'll be okay.

- denton-scratch 3y ago> You'll have a wicked headache Really? I used to drink a litre a day when I worked from home, brewed strong. Later I got an office job, and my consumption slowly tailed off, to te point I was drinking just one mug in the morning. No effort, no plan or intention, and certainly no headaches. It's no problem if I miss my morning joe. I have an addictive personality, and I drink and smoke a lot; I don't think any addictive substance is easier to quit than coffee.
- dougmwne 3y agoYes, really! What you did is called tapering. You reduced your dose slowly enough to avoid withdrawal symptoms. I assure you that the withdrawal is very real, though nothing ibuprofen can’t take care of. To experience it, just quit drinking all caffeine cold turkey.
- klondike_klive 3y agoI got ill and couldn't keep anything down. The caffeine withdrawal was brutal. I resolved not to start drinking caffeinated coffee again. Decaff worked for a few months. Now I'm back on the full strength, but not as much.
- Fricken 3y agoI drink ~8 cups per day most days, but I only need one to avoid getting a headache.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoThat's an incredible amount of coffee/caffeine. I had to realize I had a problem when I was up to 5, but that's just me of course.
- jollyllama 3y agoCould be that the nicotine helped make up for your caffeine deficit.
- tgv 3y agoI've never experienced anything worse than a mild one, and then only one day. Just reduce intake gradually. If coffee is a drug, kicking the habit is really the easiest thing.
