Giving up caffeine - is there any point? Only a few hours in and my head REALLY hurts!

I have actually cracked and now had a cup of tea because I'm struggling to see the point of binning caffeine entirely.

Am having a nice healthy week to make up for a week of not so healthy eating and living and thought binning caffeine (as well as wheat and dairy) for a week would make me feel a bit more perky. But today I feel like the dead. I have done this in the past and have been alright after a few days, but not sure the school holidays stuck in with the kids is a good time to go through withdrawals!

Any thoughts, is it worth it?

I did the same thing once about 10 years ago, thumbwitch...actually had a caffeine overdose, and it was terrible...sweating, naseous, spinning...it was worse than any drunken night out...mainly because at least when I get that drunk, I just go to sleep...couldn't do that with a caffeine overdose.

But yeah...I'm hating the headache I have right now, missing my afternoon tea, but I know I'll feel better for it.
