I've been off of daily caffeine for about 3 years. I was a 2 mugs of coffee in the morning drinker, plus often a 20 oz caffeine soda for lunch. It took about 3 days for me to eliminate the cranky headache; a lot of water helped me through that time. I went from coffee to decaf coffee to decaf black tea to decaf green tea, which is now my usual morning drink. Depending on the breakfast, I'll have decaf coffee (for instance, the sweetness of french toast and syrup requires the bitterness of coffee). After a year away, I allowed myself to have an occasional real coffee or caffeinated soda, but never when I was feeling tired.

B_G, you mentioned decaf coffee and cholesterol, but didn't explain further. I'm interested to hear more. Also, does decaffeinating green tea remove too much of the "good stuff"?
