Caffeine withdrawls??

I am trying to ween myself off caffeine. I have been feeling nauseated on and off and if I drink a pop it goes away. I really want to change my eating/drinking habits so I am healthier, but even though I am trying really hard I feel like I am failing because I hate the withdrawls and the only way to get rid of the sick feeling is to chug a pop. I used to drink 6-8 pops a day...(no coffee). I am down to only 2-3 per day. How long does it take your body to adjust? I also take medication for migraines and I want to ween off of those too. I think my migraines were mostly caused by too much caffeine. I want so much to be free of meds/caffeine. Any suggestions to make it easier?

IF U TAKE MIGRAINE PILLS OTC THAT WILL HELP WITH WITHDRAWLS! THATS WHAT I USED AT IT WORKED PERFECTT!! GL

I think I remember a friend who went through detox saying that they recommended apples for the shaky/nausea feeling....but I don;'t remember if it was green apples or red apples.

You should also get LOTS of water. That will help to flush the bad stuff out of your system, and it will hydrate you besides. Just being dehydrated can cause bad headaches, even if they aren't from caffeine.

I'm sorry, sweetie. I hope that you can get yourself back under control soon.

I started out making tea half caffeine/ half decaf.

Maybe you can do the same with soda. They make almost every brand with and with out caffeine.

I had to go caffeine free by DR. orders. It took me about 2 months.

I feel so much better now, and have not had any kidney infections since.

switch to tea and then slowly start drinking less.

Exedrin also has caffeine, so this may help if you are gonna quit cold turkey with the headaches.

It may not be just the caffeine you are having withdrawals from, but the 12 teaspoons of sugar per can! I used to get migraines a lot. I now have just 1 or two small cups of coffee with a dash of sugar in them, drink lots of water, eat lots of fruit and veggies, and take Omega -3 (EPA & DHA) and Omega-6 (GLA) fatty acid supplements. I hardly ever get a migraine anymore. When you feel nauseous it is your blood sugar crashing. Now that you are down to 2-3, I say quit cold turkey, it will be ok in a day or two.
