I think I'm gonna need to do a real caffeine detox at some point. I was sick for ~30 hours in bed for at least 24 of those hours. I had plenty of fluids and Pho, but I had the *worst* headache this morning and the latter half of yesterday. Aspirin did nada, so I was wondering WTF was the problem.

..... It was a lack of caffeine. I popped one of my caffeine / L-Theanine pills and in ~20 to 30 min I felt like a million bucks. Still a bit foggy and weak from being hit by whatever this sickness was, but my head was no longer splitting apart. It's wild to think how deep caffeine has its hooks in me.

Caffeine type headaches are nuts. I used to drink around 10 cups a day, got it down to two but really wasn’t ready for that headache when I first stopped! You have my sympathies.

I also had awful headaches and general miserable feeling when trying to stop coffee cold turkey. Fwiw I weaned myself off over about 6 months, going quickly down to 1 cup, then an ever smaller fraction of a cup.
