A member asked:

After the caffeine from my coffee wears off, i get migraines. should i stop drinking coffee altogether? i don't want to be dependent on it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds...: Sounds more like caffeine withdrawal headaches. Aka caffeine rebound headache. You may need to simply taper of caffeine and see how things evolve over the ensuing 3-5 weeks. Good luck!

Why do I get numb? The first time I got numb on my mouth for drinking coffee. I told my doctor;she said probably I was allergic to caffeine. But I haven't drank coffee and I still get numb. I mostly feel numb on my head, mouth area.
