The caffeine withdrawal syndrome has been well-characterized in numerous rigorous studies. The potential for caffeine withdrawal to cause clinically significant distress or impairment in functioning has been established by the Health World Organization. It has even been given its own ICD-9 code for billing purposes.
The most commonly reported withdrawal symptoms are listed below:
*Headache – Often described as being gradual in development and diffuse, and sometimes throbbing and severe.
*Fatigue -- tiredness, lethargy, sluggishness
*Sleepiness/drowsiness
*Difficulty concentrating
*Work difficulty -- decreased motivation for tasks/work
*Irritability--cross, miserable, decreased well-being/contentedness
*Depression
*Anxiety
*Flu-like symptoms --nausea/vomiting, muscle aches/stiffness, hot and cold spells, heavy feelings in arms or legs
*Impairment in psychomotor skills--impaired vigilance and cognitive performances
Many caffeine consumers may be unaware of their physical dependence on caffeine because the times their use of caffeinated products can be preceded by a period of sustained abstinence. Furthermore, relatively low doses of caffeine can partially suppress withdrawal symptoms. Thus, some people may report never experiencing withdrawal because they unknowingly consumed small amounts of caffeine on days they thought they had been caffeine free. Finally, caffeine withdrawal symptoms may be misattributed to other causes or ailments like viral infections.
The caffeine withdrawal syndrome follows an orderly time course. Onset usually occurs 12 to 24 hours after terminating caffeine intake, although onset as late as 36 hours has been noted. Peak withdrawal intensity has generally been described as occurring 20 to 48 hours after abstinence. The duration of withdrawal can range between 2 days and 1 week, although longer durations have been occasionally noted.

Headaches. Just take some Advil for it and you will be fine. Stay away from the Excedrin though (it has caffiene in it and will not make things better).
If you have to replace your caffiene soda with a caffiene free drink such as juice, sprite, root beer (watch the label on the Root Beer though, some have caffiene).
Good Luck!
