Question 5

what does help with caffeine withdrawal?

Accepted Answer

Withdrawal: Trying to go cold turkey from caffeine can cause headaches and an sick feeling.  Try reducing the daily intake of caffeine slowly, i.e. Over 1-3 weeks.  Over the counter analgesic such as ibuprofen, tylenol (acetaminophen) or aleve may help deal with the headaches.

Question 6

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.

Question 7

how to alleviate symptoms of caffeine withdrawal?

Accepted Answer

Taper: Taper caffeine use - don't go cold turkey or you may feel like roadkill.

Question 8

caffeine withdrawal from coffee, how to deal with this?

Accepted Answer

Withdraw the coffee: I recommend that in people who are overusing caffeine, that they subtitute 1/4 of the doses (i.E, if you drink 8 cups a day, lower by 2 cups - substitute with decaf if needed) every 3 or 4 days, until you are down to 1-2 cups in the morning. Withdrawal rarely occurs with that low a dose of caffeine. Alternatively, one could do the same thing with no-doz (caffeine pills)-reducing dose over 2 weeks.

Question 9

can caffeine withdrawal cause itching?

Accepted Answer

Unexpected: It may however cause fatigue and headaches if done too  rapidly.

Question 10

i need to stop drinking coffee. what is caffeine withdrawal going to feel like?

Accepted Answer

Try tapering?: Caffeine withdrawal symptoms can be significant, usually in the form of headaches, fatigue, irritability, anxiety, etc. Unless there is a medical reason that would cause you to need to stop instantly, it might be more tolerable and give you a better chance of stopping it if you were to taper your consumption by reducing the amount you drink each day until you have none. Good luck to you!
