Caffeine withdrawl is real ya'll.

Caffeine withdrawl is real ya'll.

It is real! I quit caffeine two years ago and I thought I had the flu at first. Horrible headaches, but it does get better after a week.

Yeah. I had to stop caffeine with my 2 week pre-op diet and couldn't have it again until 30 days post-op. WORST TIME OF MY LIFE!

I weaned myself off it slowly, cutting from 2 big travel mugs of coffee to 1.5, then 1, then using a slightly smaller mug, then an even smaller one... until on Monday I decided I could go without. I had a nasty headache all day, but I think it was actually mostly due to seasonal allergies. Tuesday I was fine, I'm just missing the act of drinking coffee or iced tea. But I wanted to be through caffeine withdrawal before going on my liquid diet this coming Monday. Otherwise my husband might leave me!

Yep! Caffeine withdraw is definitely real! I had to wean myself off by doing half & half. Half fully leaded, and half decaf. The headaches were still there, but not as bad... Decaf is okay, but now I find myself not having coffee at all some days and I'm okay with it!
