The last few days I've been having headaches and all sorts - and normal pain relief tablets just haven't been cutting it, unfortunately. Today I looked up the symptoms of caffeine withdrawal and I see a mirror of myself!

Sure, I drank a fair few pepsi maxs' a day (about 5 or 6) but I didn't think I'd be a caffeine junky to the state where I'd get physical withdrawal symptoms when I stopped...which I did - I cut out completely and just drank water.

Not a good idea - and I'm cutting down gradually but drinking tea rather than coffee/max. Within half an hour of having a tea, the headache had gone and I felt fine again.

I wonder how many people here would have the same symptoms if they stopped their cola/coffee intake...

Wish me luck in weening myself off the evil liquid
