A lot of the time I actually wake up with a headache until I’ve had at least two coffees. I’m not sure about the migraine part as I don’t let it go that far. The kettle is my first go to in the morning. Not sure I’d function very well without caffeine.

Oh yeah, caffeine withdrawals. I have an amazing coffee machine that tells me how many I’ve had and in 6 months it’s at 500 but if I don’t have my coffee, at least 2 I get bad headaches and it takes a while to wean yourself off the stuff. But yes, very normal.’

This happens to me all the time too. Gave up on the remedies

Yes, it’s very common. But you don’t sound like you’re drinking enough coffee for the habit to be a problem.

Just push through. Your body is used to that caffeine and needs to hence the headache. Keep having coffee and avoiding the headaches or totally kick the coffee habit…

That was me! I’ve switched to decaf and no issues now

Here is my solution, say you drink 10 cups of coffee a day. 2 teaspoons in each up.

Get all of your coffee, mix the coffee with lions mane(this is for focus/concentration), maca root(for hormonal balance), cocoa(for a calmer feeling), and sugar. Maybe a small amount of cinnamon if desired.
I change ratios quite a bit, the idea is to have less coffee in one heaped teaspoon. That way there is still flavour.

20g lions mane (this is a mushroom too much will affect flavour)(and reduce inflammation)
One packet of maca root from coles. (240g?) (slight caramel flavour – a bit weird for a root vegetable)
Add the same volume of cocoa.
Add the sugar to taste.
I would not put too much cinnamon in, itll be gross.
Cinnamon helps control blood sugar.

Drink 10 cups of coffee a day, and your caffeine intake will 1/4 or less.

How long have you had this coffee routine for? Maybe try drink plenty of water in between and see if that maybe helps?

I’m the opposite. I don’t drink coffee, I avoid caffeine altogether, but when I have a headache that won’t budge……if I have a coffee or a Coke (Coke and Bundy mixed seems to work best) it helps my headache

No, and it sounds pretty unusual that you’d suffer withdrawal from just one cup a day. You might just be unlucky.

This sounds strange to lots of people but I’ve never had a cup of coffee in my life. The coffee culture in Australia is strong and stories such as this is part of why I don’t want to start. No judgement here, keep having your coffee before 10 to avoid the headaches but if you want change try switching to teas such as ginger.

I also love my coffee, I drink 3 cup a day, sometimes up to 5 cups a day and will only experience a headache late in the day if I don’t have a coffee. Possibly the amount I drink, delays the headache.

This sounds like withdrawal symptoms. Your body is craving that caffeine. I used to be a heavy coffee drinker and cut back dramatically. I experienced migraines for some time till my body adjusted.

Sometimes I get a headache. But I try to drink lots of water. I’m not sure if it has anything to do with coffee.

Ive heard this happening to people, must be some type of caffeine withdrawl.

Yes, I get really bad headaches when I don’t have my regular coffees. When I was pregnant, it took me a while for my body to adjust to not having caffeine in my system at all.

Caffeine withdrawal

Oops! Should read best and not bet below.

Maybe try different types of coffee. I had to find one that bet suited my taste buds and body.

Can definitely relate to these headaches. Took a few weeks of adjustment when I was pregnant and went cold turkey, but found that (not surprisingly) the headaches went away. Coffee withdrawal is a real thing.
