Default Cutting out caffeine

One of the tricks I learned in one of the numerous times I've given up caffeine is to take Excedrin to avoid the headaches. It has some caffeine in it, but I think it works like a nicotine patch. It helps wean you off, while you're dealing with the other aspects of quitting - in my case with Diet soda, missing the fizziness and coldness of the drink, and learning to enjoy plain water instead. After a couple days, I didn't need the Excedrin anymore.
