Taper caffeine: One way to know that you may have a caffeine withdrawal headache is if you are waking with a headache and when you drink coffee etc, the headache improves. It is less painful to gradually taper your intake of caffeine over a period of weeks to avoid the withdrawal headache. Increase your intake of water as you decrease the intake of caffeine.

Question 3

my caffeine withdrawal is still going on and been a month . what should i do? im suffering psychiatric problems

Accepted Answer

Caffeine withdrawal: Caffeine withdrawal may last several days, but would not generally continue for a full month.  I'm noticing you're also taking "herbal supplements" [not specified] and you do state valerian root.  I wonder if any of these may be contributing to your symptoms? Please see your family doctor or a psychiatrist about these difficulties, since they sound complex and merit further investigation. Be well.

There is a headache that can go on for days (or not happen at all.) the biggest symptom i've seen is fatigue, especially after the kind of doses you've been using. Hang in there. Eventually your sleep pattern and your alertness will normalize and you will be much better off than you were. Your stomach will thank you.

i am going through caffeine withdrawal, suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Caffeine taper: I never recommend abrupt cessation of caffeine, because the headaches can be very severe and impair normal function. Cutting back on caffeine gradually, by eliminating one serving a day every 3-4 days, so if you drink 6 cups of coffee (week 1 - 5 cups for 3 days, 4 cups for 4 days, week 2 - 3 cups for 3 days, 2 cups for 4 days) etc. Will taper you off over a couple of weeks, and that is best way.
