personally I'd just quit cold turkey. The withdrawal symptoms with caffeine aren't anything advil can't take care of.

[Reaper329]

agree with rugger here, it shouldnt be too severe. nothing to be overly concerned with

Maybe some Reset AD would help? It would at least alleviate the adrenal burnout you most likely have from overconsumption of caffeine.

Have you tried very low doses of caffeine?

Incidence of caffeine withdrawal. Blind experimental studies in healthy normal caffeine consumers who abstain for „ 24 hours indicate that the incidence of withdrawal headache is about 50%. When all withdrawal symptoms are considered, the incidence of caffeine withdrawal is higher. In a population-based random digit dial telephone survey study, 40 to 70% of individuals who tried to quit caffeine use reported experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

Many caffeine consumers may be unaware of their physical dependence on caffeine because their frequent habitual consumption precludes a period of sustained abstinence (e.g. 2 days). Furthermore, relatively low doses of caffeine (e.g. as little as 25 mg) can partially suppress withdrawal symptoms. Thus, some people may report never experiencing withdrawal because they unknowingly consumed small amounts of caffeine on days they thought they had been caffeine free. Finally, caffeine withdrawal symptoms (e.g., headache, nausea, muscle aches) may be misattributed to other causes or ailments (e.g., viral infection).

Maybe you could try dosing 25-50mg of caffeine per day for a week or two, and cut back further from there?

Then you either aren't doing something right or are taking in way more than 400mg a day.

i was around 400-600 mg 4days a week

Caffiene has rated close to heroin in terms of debilitating withdrawal symptoms . Taper off slowly is my advice.

get the caffeine pills in the store, and slowly lower the dose, cut the pills in 1/2, etc. one cup of coffe has 80mg of caffeine. you might try 4 cups one day, then 3 1/2, etc until you get down to 1/2 a cup.

i agree with rugger though - that kind of withdrawal (2-3 weeks) and you are taking in WAY more caffeine than you think - either through coffee, tea, supps, or soda. my withdrawal lasted 4 1/2 weeks, and i was on 80 cups of coffee a day for just over a decade.

1 cup of coffe=200mg

you must get your coffee from a different source than I. same rules apply though. take 2 cups for a week, then 1 1/2 cups for a week, etc. wean yourself off. cold turkey was a nightmare for me. sweating every day for just over a month with the AC stuck at 68 degrees - my body couldn't figure out how to process water intake. nasty stuff.
