Dr. Pohl:
If on the other hand you are having burning in your stomach after you use your caffeine; if you are having anxiety attacks; if you are having sleep disturbance, you ought to think about cutting back or eliminating your caffeine from your life. You know, note what you are using and then cut it by 20 percent.
Don’t make it painful for yourself. If you stop suddenly, caffeine dependence will result in a headache, result in fatigue, or result in irritability. So it’s not inappropriate to cut back 20 percent maybe every couple of days, and before you know it, you’ll be off and probably pretty asymptomatic.
