Yesterday morning I was advised it might well be medically advisable to quit caffeine, or at least seriously cut down...

12 hours caffeine free: Severe headaches kick in.

15-16 hours: Violent mood swings.

24 hours: Muscle spasms start.

Last time I tried this I gave up after three days of my back spasming at regular intervals.

Possibly I may have a teeny weeny bit of a dependency here...

Why would anybody ever give it up?! (Yeah, I suppose if it's medically advisable...just speaking as one addict to another :P)

Arse!

You can't cut back rather than cold turkey ? Not that that's easy, but maybe less hard?

Cut backs generally only last about a week. I'll try a low level of consumption if this doesn't work.

Watch out for chocolate! It's actually got a fairly hefty amount... last time I tried to cut down I found myself scoffing it :)

Oh, and most headache pills have caffeine in.

Good luck..... :)

Eeek, I think the reaction to not having it demonstrates the extent of the problem... definitely worth cutting down a bit I would think... wouldn't have any idea whether its better to totally give up or just try to cut down though...
