Posted by jjb on 5/3/2006, 12:08 am, in reply to "health " I usually drink a double mocha every morning. But about every six months or so I lay off of caffeine for a month. That includes everything with caffeine including coffee, caffeinated sodas and even chocolate. I learned that the migraines usually only come in the first couple of days, so I usually have a single shot decaf or ristretto drink on the second day. That's usually enough to cure and prevent the headaches. Sleepiness comes and goes over the first week or two. It takes about 2 weeks to clear the caffeine out of your system. The caffeine high is gradually replace with a normal energy level during that time. The last two weeks of the month are very relaxing. I usually try to start this process a couple of weeks before I take a vacation. Then I'm relaxed and can slow down and enjoy myself. And I bring the caffeine back gradually. I don't like decaf because of the chemicals they usually use in the process, but I'll drink them for a couple of weeks to ease myself back in. Maybe someday I'll cut it out completely. But, like you, I like the taste.

I won't comment on everything you asked about, but the coffee thing is something I'm concerned about.
