Quiting caffeine > itense head aces

Just give it some time. If you stay away from it long enough it will subside. I had the same issue. Around three weeks in it went away. Now caffeine doesn't even cross my mind.

 

I gave up Caffeine around 6 months ago and for the first week and a half I had the worst headaches I have ever had (apart from migraines). At one stage I even thought about going to the hospital to get it checked out it was so bad lol. But it will pass.

I read somewhere that the reason you get headaches when you quit caffeine is because the blood vessels constrict on your head (Caffeine opens them up more).

I do drink caffeine again now, but nowhere near as much as I did before.

 

tapering off in a gradual schedule would make the headaches less intense but if you already have several days cold turkey you may as well continue cold turkey. I would assume the first 3 days are the worst.

 

I got myself down to only 2 cups in the morning and no more thruout the day. I like caffeine alot but when we overconsume it causes problems. One trick is to water down your coffee more and more so that you are drinking more fluid but less caffeine overall. Or to switch to black or green tea. Or a mixture of both

 

I would say gradually size down to minimize side effects. If you drank 6 cups, go a few days with 4 cups, then 2 etc.

If you drank 3 cups (like I do), then perhaps you could try sizing down to 2 first for a few days, then a few days with 1 and then 0. Quitting cold turkey is possible but will get you nasty headaches
