So, I'm trying to wean myself off caffeine.

cold turkey, or gradually?

YMMV, but I quit caffeine almost three years ago, and did it cold turkey. Unlike many coffee drinkers I know, I enjoy the flavor of coffee. So I indulge in an occasional brewed decaf. However, I'm one of those people who (no surprise to my fellow Callahanians, I'm sure ) prefers binary decisions. It's mine, or it's not. I can eat it, or I can't. Cold turkey was just easier for my temperament than weaning myself off of it.

Fortunately, caffeine withdrawal had no symptoms that I ever noticed. Good luck!
