quitting coffee
Never...they'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands 
No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

I'm with lieshurt and somanyyears - never giving up my coffee! I figure that since I don't smoke, or drink soda or alcohol, coffee is my one real "vice".
Be careful what you wish for the most - you may get it.

My computer was down yesterday so I didn't get to see your posts. Thanks for all of you routing for me! I went a day with a horrible headache and now I feel bla. I know it's probably the coffee blues but I am really going to give this a try. My kids tell me I just have to calm down. ME CALM? REALLY?! I think it's going to take a lot more than quitting coffee for that. I'm just hoping to get off or cut down on some of my anxiety meds.

Sounds fairly typical for weaning off of caffeine. Exercise is supposed to help, but when I was feeling blah, it was the last thing I wanted to do.
Keep it up! You're doing great.

I told IC that I was hopeless lets fix my nicotine habit
She told me to keep smoking. 
I quit a 6 pack a day pop habit a couple years ago. Now if I don't get my water I get cranky - tell people that one and watch their faces.
Truly - I think when you are quitting caffeine one really important thing is to drink twice as much water. If you think a caffeine withdrawl headache is bad trying tying it in with the hangover feeling of being dehydrated.

Let, maybe wait a bit before trying to go off the anti anxiety meds. Give yourself time to adjust to no coffee.
I started weaning off one med for another over a month ago. I was out of my mind with the withdrawal symptoms. Good luck and hopefully tomorrow you'll feel better.

When i was in my 20's I got the brilliant idea to quit smoking, lose weight and stop drinking coffee...All. At. The. Same. Time...
My body crashed...
My doctors first question was "are you trying to kill yourself?, one thing at a time".
Needless to say I have not accomplished any of the above...
Coffee...it's my lifeline in the morning. But yes one cup will do...not an entire pot.
