I am quitting because it is unhealthy and not good for me. I typically have one redbull a day (right when I go into work) and maybe 2 pops a shift. I work midnights and everyone at work is telling me I can't do it, that you need caffeine to keep going lol. I can't ween myself off of it either, if I don't give up cold turkey, I'll just keep on drinking pop and coffee. I took some aspirin last night at work and it didn't touch the headache. I guess I am just going to be a grumpy co-worker for a few days

The woman had some Asprin. Didn't work for me. Ibprophen always works for me.

Migraines are common with caffeine withdrawal. Extra strength Excedrin has a dose of caffeine in it, but its usally not enough. Imitrex is a drug derived from LSD that will knock out a migraine, but you have to take it at the first sing of a migraine. They sell a generic brand that's a nasal spray too. Prescription only.
Why did you discontinue drinking coffee?
Good luck.

I drink probably 4-5 cans of pop and 2-3 bottles a day. Can't gain a pound. I do try to drink a bottle of two or water a day too though.
Try stepping down to Sprite, something thats still like drinking pop. Flavored water helps keep me from drinking pop too.

A lot of people I work with say the same thing. I drink so much pop I don't really thing the caffine even has any effect on keeping me awake.

I like the flavored water too. It still doesn't compare to pop though I love my diet dr. pepper!
I drink diet so no calories, no sugar  I think if I am at home and not work I probably drink a 2 liter a day!
