I switched to decaffinated coffee starting yesterday morning and have had headaches since. Are the headaches from the withdraw of caffine? I tend to drink about 2 cups in the morning and maybe 1 or 2 after dinner. I thought switching to decaffinated would be a piece of cake and I'd never notice. My husband does not know I made the switch and he had a headache as well yesterday. Any thoughts?

OK, thanks for the info so far...I am still going cold turkey. Today's headache was not nearly as bad as yesterdays and I can only hope it just gets better with time, thanks!

That sounds like caffine withdrawl. Take some advil or tylonol, most asprins or acetemetifins have a small dose of caffine in them and will deffinatly help you with the headaches. check the lables to find recomended dose and how much caffine are in them.

Definantly, that's it. I had the same problem. I used to drink coke everyday, and then I stopped cold turkey and i got HORRIBLE headaches. There is a better way to stop. Instead of just stopping drinking caffiene altogether, try weaning yourself off of it. Have little sips each day or whenever you get a headache. Drink less and less everyday. it worked very well for me.

Yes, you are probably getting headaches from not having caffeine. You might want to try going half caf before decaf to ween yourself off of the caffeine. Hope this helps! Good luck!

That's very likely, I've had the same situation happen to me when my doctor ordered me to lower my cafeine intake as much as possible. What I suggest you do is take it easy on yourself until your system has a chance to adjust to caffeine withdrawl, this should take two or three weeks at the most.

caffiene withdrawl certainly can cause side effects, such as headaches, fatigue, lack of concentration. All of that should pass pretty quickly, in about a week.

Yup, withdrawal. It should take a week or two.
