Caffine Withdrawal Symptoms

[txplowgirl]

I went totally caffine free about a week ago now, and I'm feeling really tired and i'm getting depression and crying jags. I'm eating clean, it's just since I quit the caffine this has hit. Is this normal caffine withdrawal? And how long will this last? This is wicked feeling.

Oh, before I forget, i'm drinking Bigelow's Decaf Earl Grey tea and i'm sweetening it with agave nectar. Could the agave be a contributing factor?

Yes, that is normal along with headaches and being crabby. I don't know how long it lasts b/c I have never been able to do it. Hang in there!

Thanks Gree, so far I havn't really had any headaches to speak of or feelings of irritability, knock on wood, It's just a rundown feeling and crying every couple of hours for no apparent reason. Then again, it being that time of the month too might be having more of a reaction to it. I just know it's feeling a bit different than normal and also now that I think about it I had the shakes for a little while last night too.

I thought my hypoglycemia was acting up so I ate something but it didn't help, finally went away after a couple of hours. I don't know, get's very depressing after a bit. But, with everything else i'll hang in there and ride it out.

You poor thing! Trust me I have been where you are and it totally stinks. I came off caffeine when I found out I had a sensitivity to high fructose corn syrup. It was really hard to do and your body is physically addicted to the caffeine and the sugar, so its a rough road. The good news is that you should start to feel better soon. I would also add that you should try and drink as much water as possible to help flush out your system and staying hydrated will help you to feel better. Good luck and I will keep you in my prayers that you feel better soon!
