I use to drink several pots of coffee daily, now I am down to a 12oz cup in the morning and a 12 oz in the afternoon. The problem I have is my job require me to get up very early sometime as early a 2:30 am. On my days off I want to sleep in but wake up between 4-5 am with a splitting headache that lasts all day. I am tired of fighting headaches on my days off and want to kick the caffeine habit altogether but the headaches are preventing me from stopping cold turkey.
Does anyone have any suggestion or have faced the same thing in the past?

How do I STOP caffeine without getting a terrible headache?

My doctor has told me I need to elimanate caffeine completely. I cannot handle headaches at all. I have had migraines my entire life so I really can’t deal with any type of headache. I drink coffee on days I work plus alot of Coke Zero. In the past I have been able to stop drinking diet cokes and I don’t have coffee on weekends. But quiting cold turkey is killing me. It’s not the waking up part I need help with. I have been prescribed Provigil which I am not using because I can’t stop the caffeine. I know I have to do it slowly, but how? On weekdays I have about 2 cups of strong coffee then start diet coke as soon as I get to work. I have between 4-7 12 oz. cans a day. So how long should I expect it to take to quit completely?

How much caffeine can i drink a day?

I am addicted to caffeine and I want to know how much I can drink in a day. I drink the 375ml diet coke, I drink between 4 to 10 cans a day depending on how stressed out I am. I have tried giving it up but I got headaches, get very stressed and anxious but as soon as I drank a mouthful I felt it all lift.
