dixieskydiver 0 #1 August 23, 2004 Once I gave up caffeinated beverages for 2 years. Now I'm back on the kick, I've gone through somewhere around 32-40 cokes since I moved into my dorm room last Wed. Is that excessive? Dixie HISPA #56 Facil Rodriguez "Scientific research has shown that 60% of the time, it works every time." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #7 August 23, 2004 Whats excessive is the extreme lack of Jack Daniels in those cokes!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingJ 0 #8 August 23, 2004 Yup, delicious Coca~Cola will do that to you. It's either on or off for me. I can stop drinking it with no problem and will go for months without, but once I have one it's full on until I stop again. Might not hurt to start brushing your teeth a few extra times a day!Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #17 August 23, 2004 QuoteDo you get headaches and eat more when you quit? Here's a serious reply: It is a fact that if someone reduces their caffeine intake quickly, it can definitely cause headaches. That's why they use caffeine in many migraine medications. Also, the bleaching trays are a good idea. I use them also and they work great. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My question should have been stated more accurately: Do you get really bad headaches and for how long? Mine lasted for about 2 weeks and were moderate to severe.

You say yours "lasted", did they go away? Tough question to answer since there are so many variables such as how much caffeine you consumed; for how long; did you cut out all caffeine cold turkey; etc. If you're getting moderate to severe headaches, try reducing the caffeine intake slowly until you quit. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
