What's the best way to get rid of a caffeine-withdrawal headache (besides drinking more caffeine)?


Trying to get off caffeine but the headaches are killing me. Any ideas on how to get through the withdrawal period? Acupuncture? Please help!

drink loads of water to flush out the toxins and syndol is a good headache tablet

Small pieces of chocolate.
But don't go overboard or trade one habit for another.

Caffeine withdrawal shouldnt last much longer than a week. It's ok to use tylenol while you withdraw.

try taking excedrine migraine. i've found it helps when trying to get over a caffeine headache. hope it works for you.

Actually, it should go away in about 3 days; if you're past the 3 day mark, you *really* had a caffeine addiction! Maybe go with a half-caff coffee (just ONE cup) and slowly add decaff coffee daily until you work yourself down to fully decaf coffee. Once you're there, just quit drinking the decaf.

Excedrin has a low dose of caffeine in it, so if you've not used that yet, you might give it a try. Do NOT exceed the recommended dosages.

I had this problem when i gave up coffee. One good alternative is to drink Green tea (U can add a teabag of berry or herbal tea like peppermint to make it taste better) It has a minimal ammount of caffine in it that will keep the headaches at bay and green tea is great for ur immune system, ur metabolism, and also contains anti-oxidents that help protect u from cancer. I drink 2-3 cups a day now and i dont even miss my coffee.
