Caffeine withdrawal: Caffeine is something the body gets used-to if ingested daily, and eventually the body comes to depend upon it to maintain a normal state like with nicotine or other drugs. Suddenly stopping caffeine intake often causes sleepiness, headache, irritability, sometimes constipation. The symptoms improve day to day until gone but can take several weeks to abate fully. Ibuprofen/acetaminophen help.

Common: Caffeine withdrawal gets one some of the worst headaches and fatigue. Consider tapering down the caffeine instead. For example, if she drinks 3 cups a day, she may cut down to 2 cups a day for a few days, then 1 cup for a few days before stopping it completely.
