Okay.. I always have had caffiene but lately (during the last few months I jumped from my 1-1.5 cans a day to about 3-4 a day) So I dediced to give it up yesterday cold turkey its been 24 hours and I feel awful I have a headache, feel irritable, and I took a long nap. The thing is I'm like almost 16 and I know it cant be good to drink all of that. Any ideas how to cut it out or lower the intake? I like Tea, Coffee, Soda. Wha doI do I'm craving a coke-a-cola. (Btw, I;ve never done drugs or smoked. I'm not sure why I'm not letting myself have caffiene..)

caffeine is a drug, if you quite abruptly you will get side effects, just take some ibuprofen for the headache for a few days and it will eventually subside . Im not sure why you cut out the caffine either!? It doesn'tsound like you were taking that much in! I have 3-4 pops a day.

When I was 14 I had to give it up because it was giving me heart problems. So that helped in my desire to quit. But it was hard at first, now 6 yrs later I hardly ever crave cokes. I'd say go a week to stop the cravings, then have about 3 a week.
