Caffeine headaches...HELP?

I don't know why, but I am very suseptible to caffeine headaches. I am not what you'd call a "regular coffee drinker." On days where I'm really dragging at work, I'll grab 1/2 a cup with 1/2 cup of soymilk. I'll try not to do this every day either. But I'm still suffering from caffeine headaches and they are so dibiliating.

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on how to wean myself off of coffee, or drink something that will give me a boost? And don't suggest sugar...I get withdrawls from that easily too.

Thanks!

I used to get caffeine headaches, I slowly switched to drinking decaf coffee and caffeine free sodas. There are some herbal supplements you can take for an energy boost which don't contain caffeine. You can ask at your local GNC or supplement store for recommendations. Good luck!

I had the same problem, but I was a coffee-holic so I don't know if that made the difference. I was having headaches and heart palpitations because I drank SO much coffee. But when I tried to quit, I got even worse headaches and my doctor said it was actually from withdrawal. I had no idea there was such a thing.

Your doctor is the best person to consult about this, but in my situation I had to decrease my caffeine over a period of time and use an analgesic to ease the pain. It took a while, but now I'm off caffine altogether. I realize that it doesn't agree with me, so it's the same for me as a food allergy.

I hope this helps and that you are able to end the headaches soon.
