caffeine addiction withdrawal symptoms
Sunday, February 28th, 2010How can I minimize caffeine withdraw symptoms?
Three days ago I switched to decaf coffee and tea. This is in response to my realization that I had developed an addiction and the caffeine is overstimulating my pituitary which is presenting in various symptoms. I started with a headache two days ago that will not go away. I’m also feeling generally lethargic and having withdrawal symptoms.
Any suggestions for minimizing these symptoms? How long will this last?
FYI… I am not a soda drinker. I drink lots of water and I eat a whole foods diet. I also excercise daily.
I gave up all sugar/caffeine drinks 3 months ago. The best thing I can tell you is just stick it out. I know the headaches suck try something over the counter some pain killers like Excedrin have small amounts of caffeine in them so if you think it would help to ” ween ” yourself off that would be the way to go. However I just took Tylenol for the headaches and the withdraws only lasted 7 – 10 days. Hope it helps. Stick with it believe it or not I have more energy now than ever.
