Do they produce the same effect on you? I'm contemplating if I should just restrict myself to herbal tea or not. Glad to hear your headaches have let up! How do you find the caffeine amounts in tea?

This is one week after the no-caffeine decision for me, and I have to report that except for a minor caffeine intake (chocolate), I have been not feeling any headaches. So, it is a done deal... no caffeine for me :) I'm hoping this post will help other people who have shown similar symptoms to me. I'm not a physician but this is how I felt. Thanks all for chiming.

I've been suffering from headaches for the past year-and after reading your post and contemplating my own coffee drinking habits-I do seem to get headaches on days (or days after) I drink a lot of coffee. Looks like I'll be saying goodbye to that morning cup! If you need a cold summer drink, I usually try for iced green tea. It's no iced mocha, but it's very refreshing on a hot day. Good luck on your decision to be caffeine free!

Iactually have more energy, and feel better. I allow myself a coffee beverage about once a month with no consequences. I am digging herbal tea, and some green tea. This coffee fanatic is now reformed. I have a nice selection of organic, fair trade herbal tea if you would like to do a taste test sometime. I also had to give up coffee due to health issues.

I drink tea which gives you the warm drink fix that you need with some caffeine too. I find that I can have an iced mocha (like yesterday) occasionally without any consequences. Also, a fruit juice in the morning with lots of vitamin C has as much 'wake up' effect as the coffee since vitamin C has the same effect. I also can’t drink coffee without that happening.
