hi there.. i think this is an ok place to put this..

I decided it was time to get rid of diet coke out of my diet. i drink ALOT of it and have done for years.. about the middle of the first day that i went without coke i got this headache and im on day 5 and this headache hasnt gone away.. im takin panadol every 4 hours but its not going.. does this go away eventually or should i just.. have a coke? ugh its horrible i dont feel like i want a coke except to get rid of the headache,, any ideas?? thank you muchly :)

How about a cup of coffee or tea every day until you can WEAN from the caffeine? Then every SECOND day, etc.

Personally, I doubt that your headache is from the Diet Coke withdrawal...5 days with a headache seems too long.

thanks for the reply lenin.. i cant stand tea or coffee and i really dont want to be having coke again cos i no that the min i do that will be it. i seem to do things all or nothing and i love coke to much to just cut it down, i have tried that before.. im pretty sure that this is why the headache as i just dont get headaches i mean ever lol. i will wait another couple of days i guess and see what happens but ty for your sugestion :)

I used to drink lots of diet pepsi, like 6 liters a day. I would get headaches like that when I stopped, lasting for 3-7 days. Taking caffeine didn't help. Aleve did help, slowly, somewhat.

thanks.. I am on day 10 now and the headaches are gone woohooo!! i dont even feel like i want a coke witch suprised me! water is my new best friend. its great! :)
