Caffeine Withdrawl
 

Okay, I'm trying to get the java monkey off of my back. I stopped drinking coffee yesterday and switched to Green Tea. There is still caffeine in it but not as much. I'm already feeling sluggish and getting headaches. I have a feeling this is not going to be easy. Anyone ever done it? Any helpful hints to help me cope?

Poor Don, I know EXACTLY how you feel I cut java out completely a year ago and it was tough! Remember Coffee result in anxiety, insomnia and a loss of body fluids. So It's VERY important that you stay hydraded (drink lot's of water).

ok, this sounds gross, but it's not that bad and it sure beats the headaches and mood swings! Start by mixing your normal coffee 3/4 to 1/4 Herbal Coffee. Gradually reduce the percentage of your coffee over a two to three week period until you are drinking 100% Herbal Coffee. You should be able to avoid the headaches and also gradually adjust your body to less reliance on stimulants.
:D

Great herbal coffee link

drink lots of water. it's a good replacement. anyway, take it one step at a time. the withdrawal need not be abrupt. reduce intake slowly..you'll get the hang of it. good luck.

avoiding caffeine is like quitting smoking..it takes time to finally get there.
