That’s cool. I’d like to quit again sometime but right now caffeine staves off migraines for me. And with a baby in the house I really don’t have the resources for that battle.
- strogonoff 10mo agoWhen(ever) I quit coffee, I got strong migraines after a day or so. However, they subside and go away after a few more days. I wouldn’t claim it works the same way for everyone, but the difference between coffee being a treatment for migraines and migraines being a symptom of coffee withdrawal may be indistinguishable in immediate term.
- ycombinete 10mo agoAh yes. I do get those, but also just get migraines (as well as hypnic headaches) which caffeine is a wonder at ameliorating. I quit caffeine for about 2 years and the headaches never subsided (except the caffeine withdrawal ones of course). They are just a fact of my life I’m afraid. As much as I’d like to get off of caffeine I am very grateful to have is as a remedy.
- erikrothoff 10mo agoMy gf has a migraine head and she’s tried going decaf but it just doesn’t work. Apparently caffeine does a lot to reduce the risk of migraines? So I’d probably just try to lower the dose until you find what works for you.
- ycombinete 10mo agoI love the term “migraine head”. I’ve never seen that before. It’s gets across the idea that it’s just the way one’s head is quite nicely!
