First be aware of were you are getting it from. Not only is it in coffee, some teas and sodas but often in aspirin and supplements too. me I went cold turkey. I had a really bad headache and was grouch for a week after that you should be OK.

It would take over 80 MONSTER energy drinks to kill someone from caffeine. So just drink your MONSTERS or Rockstars or w/e and just stay cool, chew gum to get the smell of alcohol off your breathe.

Don't drink caffeine after 3:00 p.m.\nDon't excercise within 2 hours before going to bed.\nTake a warm bath about 45 min. before going to bed.\nKeep your bedroom at a comfortable temperature- esp. not too hot, around 72-74 degrees is good.\nNo light in room, not even a nightlight or light from alarm clock, esp. don't get up after dozing off and turn a light on, interferes with melatonin production and throws your body clock off.\nTry a sound machine or fan- something with a soothing "white noise" type of sound.\nEat a turkey sandwich or warm milk before going to bed, helps your body produce tryphtotonin and serotonin.\nTry Valerin root and 2mg.melatonin\nDo deep breathing and guided imagery meditation before bedtime.

.Go to bed the same time every night\n.Read or take a warm bath before bedtime to tire you up\n.Have dinner so you're not hungry,because you can't sleep if you're hungry.But don't get too stuffed,because that can be bothersome too.\n.DON'T drink coffee or anything with caffeine at night\n.And most importantly,relax.Pretend to put all of your troubles in a bottle and keep your mind free of worry,or at least until morning.

No-doze (caffeine pills), anything that says decongestant (which includes sudafed), methylxanthines in chocolate, nicotine gum. Be cautious and avoid energy pills - there any many variations of the now-illegal ephedra which is seriously dangerous.\n\nGood luck!

Cut down on your caffeine, nicotine, oxygen intake.

I would go for vitamins and fat fish.\n\nginseng works but it's more like a drug. Coffee would be a  more accepted addiction. There are also a lot of books that really work. (I know it sounds strange) Any training requires upkeep. So don't over do it. :P

Take some tylenol or something, you should avoid caffeine.  Find a comfortable spot for quiet, take a couple minutes to do some deep breathing. I find this really helps with tension.

They'll go away after three days and then never come back. You could try switching to Green Tea instead of going cold turkey. The antioxidants and nutrients will prepare you slowly for an easy break from caffeine. You can do it!! Drink lots of water, too. Ice cold water, sipped slowly. Add a lemon to treat yourself upper crustily.  Best wishes. I did it!

Hi, Do not drink anything with caffeine in it after 2pm.  Eat dinner as early as you can, at least 4-5 hours prior to bedtime.  Take a hot relaxing bath just before going to bed.  Do not watch TV in bed.  It helps sometimes to read after getting in bed.  If I have real insomnia, where I don't fall asleep in 15 minutes, I start with my toes, and I say, "My toes are going to sleep."  I then say the same thing for every part of my body, working from the toes up to my head.  I have never gotten all the way to head without falling asleep.  I don't know why it works, but it does.  Hopefully, these tips will help you.  I too am against taking sleeping medication.  Good Luck

Avoid caffeine after lunchtime. Avoid alcohol cos it inteferes with ur sleep pattern. Make sure u do somethign 2 relax yourself 4 at least an hour b4 u go 2 bed, like read a book, watch TV, pray, or whatever makes u 'unwind'. Choose 2 get rid of any anxious thoughts or worry that creeps into ur mind as ur in bed. Sweet dreams X

The easiest way is to stop doing drugs. However there is a product on the market that is supposed to purge your system of any THC or whatever you have in your system. My friend who's a pot head said that Green Tea also works. I wouldn't know, so I'm just going on what she said.

Caffeine, and LOTS of it.

In general - I would recommend sticking with normal green tea as the amount of caffeine is so low that you have nothing to worry about.\n\nI would think that this decaffeinating process will decrease the amounts of some photochemical - however, boiling and steeping tea are more likely to lead to decreases in anti-oxidants. I'm sure what you are consuming is still very healthy.

Simply get up for stretch breaks.  Walk around the area.  get enough sleep for starters.  Eat breakfast, have a small healthy snack, eat a small to medium sized lunch. Dont overdo it on the caffeine because when it wears off then that makes you sleepy.  Above all what helps me is a chocolate a day!!!!

No caffeine after lunch. Exercise in the morning but not at night. Drink either warm milk or Sleepy Time tea about a 1/2 before bed. Nite.

Just quit cold turkey and keep alot of Ibuprofen and tylenol on hand for the headaches that will follow. Get as much sleep as possible, and take vitamins and get some exercise. Don't eat chocolate excedrin or diet pills. (all contain caffeine). Check all teas and soft drinks for caffeine content. Sprite, 7up, Sierra Mist and most root beers contain no caffeine. In about 2 weeks you'll be fine.
