I've been thinking about a caffeine detox. I have major problems with my eyes when I go without caffeine for more then 12 hours.

I could really use a nice big cup of 100% Colombian, no sugar, no cream right now.

I do 2 caffeine fasts a month (2-3 days)and I remain very sensitive to caffeine. 2 Weeks???? Ugh, why make yourself miserable.

I decided that 5 days ago I would stop. I have had the worst headache and neck ache since. The only thing that helps is to roll my shoulders forward and back. I gave in yesterday (day 4) and had a 20 oz bottle of my "go juice". I really was to the point that I drank Dew right when I woke up, all through the day, and at bed time. I feel these headaches will never stop, and I may have to start drinking Dew again just to relieve the pain. I was up to drinking two 2L of Mountain Dew daily. I decided that 5 days ago I would stop.

I drink 3-7 cups of coffee/energy drinks a day, clearly I'm hooked.But at the end of the spring semester, I find it very easy to completely cut out caffeine, within 2 weeks. As the need to be completely alert is no longer there, and neither is ridiculous 6AM to 2AM days of studying, work and rushing to finish last min assignments.I recommend cutting back within the first 2 days of your last final exam, while you're making adjustments to summer schedule. This will allow for the drowsiness avoid being an issue, and for you to exercise to minimize the feeling. First cutting back to one cup a day, then dropping to one every 2-3 days the following week. I've gone from heavy reliance to no caffeine usage in 2 weeks. Withdrawl is noticeable the first few days, and less so after that, provided you allow for increased amounts of sleep to compensate for the lack of "awakeness".
