How do I break the caffeine habit without getting headaches?

Ween yourself off of it. Dont cold turkey it. You could start by mixing cafinated coffee with decaf. Gradually increase until your drinking full decaf, and drink plenty of water. Headaches come from dehydration.

I went through that situation too awhile back. The headaches can be very horrible. I did not find much that helped ease the pain too much but I did start eating breakfast almost right away in the morning to get my body to focus on something else. I found the worst thing I did was start drinking the caffeine again. I suggest taking slow steps to help kick the habit.

All you can do is stop drinking caffinated beverages and deal with the headaches until they go away. Once you stop taking caffeine after a prolonged period, your blood pressure goes up for a while, which in turn causes you to have headaches. Depending on how you react to caffeine, they could last for a couple of hours, or five days. In order to deal with the headaches, keeping yourself hydrated helps, and if you've got a nasty headache, eat a banana.

You don't have to cut out caffeine when you are pregnant. You can safely have up to 200-300 mg of caffeine daily and your two cups (assuming they are smaller cups) are well within that limit. Even if you cut back to one a day, you can continue drinking that cup of coffee daily even being pregnant. And it won't stop your from getting pregnant either.

for my caffeine addiction i have tried green tea.

it has some caffeine in it but not as much as coffee.

i substituted a cup of green tea for a cup of coffee a day and now i only need either a cup of coffee or cup of green tea and i'm okay.. can't say that i'm not any less tired though :( your job is probably not helping, the hours i mean.

green tea is also good for your body, it's like a detoxifier.

YOu have to slowly ween yourself off of it. If you try to do it all at once not only do you get headaches, but you get very cranky and very very tired and so on and so forth.

You reduce it down a little bit once a week until you are down to nothing.

I would slowly cut the drink down. try a couple of weeks with your regular amount. Then the next two weeks cut just a small amount of it and so on. Do it for two weeks at a time and see if that helps.

Gradual lessening of intake is key. Everything in moderation, but then when you physiologically & psychologically feel that you're ready to go cold turkey, just do it! Easier said than done, I know, but hey, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak...

try to work yourself off of the caffiene slowly by drinking less coffee and replacing the cofee you would have drank with another drink...like a smoothie

don't go cold turkey. take it slow. start with smaller cups, then go to less( if u drink three cups then narrow it down to two) do that for a couple of weeks then go down less again . as u go your body will adjust as you go and eventually ,with patience, you will be able to quit with no headaches or less severe. just give it a few weeks and don't rush!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
