Question: Is there anything that will relieve a headache caused by lack of caffeine.? Aside from caffeine.?
I'm trying to drink less soda. My head feels like it's about to explode! I'm use to drinking about 6 or 7 cokes a day. So far, I've only had one today and one is all I plan on letting myself have. So, what can I do for my headache.? I've taken pain relievers but they haven't helped. Health Question & Answer

Girl I feel your pain.
A long time ago my doctor told me I had to quit caffeine.
I was a Mt. Dew ADDICT.
I went cold turkey on soda, and man was i hurting.
My stomach was upset, my sleep patterns were shifted, I was grumpy and grouchy and snapping at people.
Food, and water helped, but i didn't wanna get fat so, I exercised ALOT.
For a while, no matter what I drank, or how much, my body still craved MT. Dew.
Finally after about a month, the shock and withdrawal symptoms faded and disappeared and I haven't had to drink a soda since.
My advice, Drink Lots and lots of water, work out, walk, ride bikes, swim, chew lots and lots of gum, distract yourself with other things, and make sure you have lots of MOTRIN handy and hopefully your friends and family will understand why you are being such a Biyatch for a while.Health Question & Answer

You can actually get a homeopathic medication to help you to wean yourself off of caffeine, or you may have to decrease the sodas a little at a time till you have weaned yourself down to one. Caffeine withdrawal can make you feel miserable. I was having to take Excedrin for migraines and arthiritis. I took the homeopathic way to wean myself off because I would get the shakes and have horrible headaches, and my muscles would hurt.Health Question & Answer
ummm, maybe some really powerful painkillers(if u got hooked on caffiene, ull get hooked on these too), just wait it out, it takes a week or so to go away, but then it doesnt happen again until u have lots of caffiene.Health Question & Answer
Whoa! Slow down there! Going from 7 to 1 is just as bad (and ineffective) as quitting all at once!

Cut back slowly. If you usually drink 6-7, try 4 for a few days, then 2, then 1, then just drink water. This gives your body a chance to adjust.Health Question & Answer
