  You can get very severe headaches with caffaine withdrawal. 
 The simple thing to do is taper off of it.  Don't quit suddenly and completely.
 
 Personally - can't imagine why you think a reasonable amount of caffaine is bad.  I have worked in the medical profession for more than 30 years and have never worked for or with a physician yet that thought two or three cups of coffee a day was bad for a person.
 
 I have worked for several doctors who don't drink coffee --- but YEAH - they're putting down the cokes instead.
 
 Too much of anything is not good.
 
 I'm not worried about the coffee I drink -- I'm trying to stay away from the potatoes, rice, and pasta.  They are my downfall!
