So I’m trying to ween myself off of caffeine before my surgery but Im having horrible withdrawals. Any tricks or advise?

Taper off slowly.

I did half caffeine n half decaf for a few days, then gradually went decaf over a few more days.

I’ve been doing just decaf for a little over a week...and I’m still getting horrible headaches. I’ll try the half and half and see how that goes. Thank you!

I did it slowly... started by skipping a day, than two , than three and so on... now I don’t drink coffee . And I was a whole day coffee person. Like even before going to sleep... never affect my slumber.

What's a good indication that you could be candidate for the caffeine side effects...how long could they last?

I started off with half caffeine & half decaf for 1 week, the second week I went to 1/4 caffeine 3/4 decaf and the third week was full decaf. I thought my surgery was going to be in early October so I quit in September, I will be starting the process over again in October.


Have a great day!

I quit caffeine too and it took 10 days of excruciating headaches. Finally the headaches are gone.
