For me symptom were extremely severe over several weeks. In end, I could quit coffee for good.

Recently, I had some stomach troubles and doctor told me to cutback or completely stop drinking coffee to help stomach heal.

I decided to go cold turkey. Figured it would speed up recovery. A bad mistake. Headaches and irritation was easy to control and disappeared within couple of days. But my body is so dependent on caffeine. I had constipation, I could not motivate myself to go workout in evenings, I felt the world was moving at different pace than me. I just felt all sorts of wrong and I keep on thinking it was just a pace it pass soon.

Finally, I could not take it. Went back to drinking as much coffee as I needand life is great now.
