Were the beverages you used to drink caffeinated? Symptoms of caffeine withdrawal can last longer than the initial headaches you get a few days after quitting. You body might have gotten used to the extra energy the caffeine gave you. You'll adjust in time.
You sound like you're trying to eat healthier. Just make sure that you still get enough calories, and the right balance. When you change your diet, you can lose the balance of nutrients that your body needs. It can be an individual thing, so try to pay attention to what kinds of foods you seem to be craving.
Also, do you have any allergies? I tend to get very sluggish and exhausted when my allergies act up, even a little. Sometimes I don't even notice it other than the tiredness.
As for pills, I'd mostly recommend taking vitamins. Especially the B complex. They help in breaking down carbohydrates, so you can get more energy from the food you eat.
