    Just started this Sunday Morning. I felt like I was going to die All day Monday.

    Major headache. Sensitive to any bright light. This is unreal. How long does this last?

    Been there, done that. Headaches bigtime. I don't know how long it lasts because I gave in and returned to the habit.

    Didn't experience the other. You might be deficient in vitamin D.

      Yeah it sucks...I gave up soda, ended up buying caffeine pills for the headaches..Then had to wean myselfoff the pills. it takes a few days.

      On a side note, once your off it for awhile, use caffeine pills as a stim on workout days..Shit works.

        Money my only advice would be to take some of those pre-workout shakes/powders that got other ingredients to wake you up...your body will be looking for a stimulant and the transition would be a lot smoother with some fukking NO-Xplode or something

          Too much caffine was making one of my eyes twitch, so I quit caffine for a month. the eye twitch was gone after a week.

            3 days with headache. Tried kicking both sugar and caffeine cold turkey........no chance. If you can kick sugar you will be way better off than the caffeine.

              I drink at least 5 extra strength cups a day. Brutal if you go 12 hours between cups.

                    hardly drink any caffeine or eat any sweets. Thankfully I never have liked sweets.

                    Every once in a while a Mountain Dew is nice if I feel like being X-treme

                        quitting xanax cold turkey was pretty tough. felt like I was dying for a few days and never slept. I drink like 5 sodas a day. Had no clue I'd be looking at some more withdrawal issues if i stopped. I guess I'll keep drinking them. diet dr pepper for life

                          Caffeine and processed sugar is poison to the body. Especially synthetic caffeine(inside 99% of all carbonated energy drinks).

                          Only a matter of time before one of the organs give out (pancreas, liver, kidneys). Scientists havent pinpointed the exact cause of diabetes yet but I wouldnt be surprised if processed/refined sugar is the main culprit.

                          The FDA probably knows already but dont want to admit it due to the billions of dollars involved in the soda beverage industry.
