I just gave up caffeine/soda a couple of days ago and the withdrawal headaches from not having it persists. what can i do to combat them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Caffeine withdrawal: Sudden caffeine withdrawal headaches can be a problem for quite a while. You can go back to an amount of caffeine and reduce the dose slowly. You can use over the counter analgesics such as ibuprofen, Acetaminophen or naprosyn (naproxen) (aleve).
