Even on ranitidine awens still refluxy though we hve seen some improvement since i put her amber anklet on. So i decided to cut out fizzy drinks, caffeine and chocolate to see if it helps. Started yesterday morning.

Last night developed headache about 11pm. Woke up at 3am with an awful pressure headache. Was trying to move without moving any single part of my head as ven moving my eyes made the pain worse. All i had in house was diclofenac so took that which didnt touch it and eventually just dropped back off to sleep.

Today headaches been there all day thpugh more just aware of it than the horrible pain of last night. Managed to go all the way to asda, spend 20 quid and come home without any painkillers too! Am also irritable, totally exhausted and drowsy, actually wondered if i was safe to drive when i took the girls out to get Awens jabs earlier and even after an hour and a half in bed when both the girls went for a nap feel as tired and drowsy as before plus the headaches creeping up again so gonna text neil to bring some painkillers home.

Any one given up caffeien before and got any idea how long its gonna last really? Have been and bought some jelly sweets and yghurt for later to take my mind off fancying a choc bar and a tin of fizz

It took me 2 days to get rid of my caffeine withdrawal headache, it was awful

Think it should only last a couple of days at most. Whenever I've had caffeine withdrawal I've had gallons of water which seems to help

I gave up when I was pregnant and it was around 2-3 days before the horrible headaches went away

I feel for ya I do, its not nice

No idea hun but hope it buggers off soon xx

well i used to go through a jar of coffee a week to myself. it took nearly a week for mine to go - they're not nice xx

was about 5 days or so here, was vile but i was drinking 10 or so cups of coffee/tea a day at work. paracetamol and pints and pints of water helped

I gave up caffeine a few years ago (coke, dr pepper etc) and i suffered from headaches for about 5-6 days

Cheers all. Few more rough days then. Neil bought me home some paracetamol and cocodamol so have stuff in now for as needed. Have taken some cocodamol about an hour ago as it was ramping up again and more comfy now. Planning on expressing then early night i think as feel like a big lump of dough atm from tiredness not being helped by lack of caffeine

i would say to have some sugar to keep yourself going, but that's how i got an *rse the size of alaska and another thing to try and battle later...ride it out if you can

I had some jelly sweeties

nom nom nom nom yeaaaaah just do what i do and constantly replace one addiction with another! healthy

It took me 5 years to wean myself off caffeine and the final headache after that last cup of tea took 2 weeks to go. My starting point was 7-8 cans of coke a day.

i drink about 8 cans a day and decided to cut it out last week. after 4 days of intense headache i couldnt cope any longer and went out and bought some. the relief was instant. sorry im not much help x

I can't imagine drinking that many cokes in a day lol, and I love the stuff...

How are you feeling today Mario? xx
