If you are on the cleanse and are used to a daily dose of caffeine then stay strong. Day 3 is usually the dark before the dawn. Then you will feel some much better on the other side. Here are some symptoms of caffeine withdrawal to look out for:

• Headache- A caffeine headache usually starts behind the eyes and then moves up the front of the head.
• Sleepiness- This just isn’t your normal tiredness, this is sitting up straight but still can’t keep your eyes open tiredness.
• Irritability- Everyone and everything gets on your last nerve. It’s best just to lock yourself in your room during this stage.
• Lethargy- Forget about productivity at this stage because you’ll be unmotivated to do anything.
• Depression- Caffeine withdrawal can take away all hope for living. Temporary blues are one thing, but if you already struggle with depression this could be a big issue.
• Muscle Pain/Stiffness- If you normally have some caffeine prior to exercise then during caffeine withdrawal you could feel as though your muscles have weights strapped to them.
• Lack of Concentration- Forget school, studying, brain surgery, or jet engine repair during this stage of withdrawal.
• Flu-like symptoms- Stuffy nose, blocked sinuses and even vomiting have been reported by people withdrawing from caffeine.
• Insomnia- Some people are strange and actually can’t sleep when going through caffeine withdrawal.
