yes- there is such thing as caffeine withdrawals.
If you missed your morning coffee and now you have a headache and difficulty concentrating, you might be able to blame it on caffeine withdrawal. In general, the more caffeine consumed, the more severe withdrawal symptoms are likely to be, but as little as one standard cup of coffee a day can produce caffeine addiction.

If you are trying to cut down on your caffeine consumption, you can avoid some of the symptoms by doing it slowly. Cutting back by a half cup per day is a recommended pace.
and to help with the caffeine withdrawal drink a lot of water and intake no sugar.

Yes, I have experienced the same headaches when I stop drinking anything with caffeine. If you want to wean yourself off it, if you don't consume anything in about two weeks, your headaches may go away.

YES. when i stopped drinking coffee, it was horrible. I got headaches and I was cranky..I just pushed through it and drank tons of water..

Yes you can become addicted to caffeine and have withdrawals from it. If you are going to try and stop drinking caffeine do it slowly. I try not to drink any caffeine soda and drink lots of water instead. If you drink lots of soda every day it is possible you are having withdrawals. Caffeine is like a drug.

YES, caffeine withdrawal is horrible

Definitely.

Caffeine is a drug and your body can become dependent on it. This is why places like Starbucks thrive so well...because people have one cup of coffee, and then another, and pretty soon they're addicted.

Some people cannot even function throughout the day if they don't consume caffeine.

You can most certainly have withdrawal from caffeine and yes, headaches are sign of that. Caffeine does things to your brain that cause it to hurt when you don't get the caffeine that it's used to.

It's legal, but it really is a drug. I try to stay away from it...but then again even I need my Coke and chocolate sometimes!

you got it... headache.

For sure.....

When stopping caffeine expect to have a couple of days of headaches, feeling tired, and grumpy....

Depending on how much caffeine your body is used to will decide how many days you will feel this way.

Thank Starbucks..

yes, and it's actually very common. It's similar to migraine, and a lot of people also feel weak and and kind of feverish, but they don't actually have fever.
It happens to me if I go without coffee for a day.

I would say yes,cause i drink at least a case a day and i cant go without it.
I love pepsi

yes you can get withdrawals from caffeine and it will give you a headache. But after a while it will go away.

Yes, there is such a thing. I gave up coffee for about a month. I'm sure I wasn't pleasant to be around. :-P
