How to End an Excedrin Addiction?

I've been addicted to Excedrins and generic migraine pills for well over a year and I need to stop. My tolerance has increased with time and I take a total of 6 Excedrins every day, even though I have no headache. I can't get through the day without it because it keeps me wired and I get really fatigued when it wears off. But I've been noticing things like bruises and stomach pains lately and I know they are because of the pills. I've been trying to get off them but everyday I convince myself that, "This is it; this is the last day," and of course it is not the last day.

So what is a fool proof way to end this addiction???

    Without doubt you might be addicted to the caffeine. That you could get headaches daily from caffeine withdrawal. Only technique to beat it is to move with out for per week. First 4 days are torture. Ice p.C., plenty of water and sleep. Then.. You might be free.
